Hi my name is Kristen and I am a 30 year old college student. I have 4 years of professional experience, but have been babysittingsince I was 13. I am CPR and First Aid trained. When I was 13 my aunt ran a daycare. I would help with the cleaning, supervise the kids when my aunt couldnt, the cooking, and taking care of the babies. When I was 21 I would occasionally watch my friends child from the time she was 6 months till 8 years old. When I was 23 I worked for the school district as a substitute noon duty. When I was 26 I worked for Elizabeth Gomez for 8 months. She had two kids. A boy who was 10 and a girl who was 5. My responsibilities were to pick up the kids, help with their homework, drive them to their extracurricular activities, clean, and cook them dinner. When I was 27 I worked at a church in their baby room. I would help supervise them until the end of church. I worked for them 2 months. After that I worked for Jennifer Couch. She has two boy who was 7 and 4. I would supervise them, cook them lunch and dinner, and put them to bed. When I was 28 I worked for Craig and Catharine Hamilton. They have a boy who was 5.

Hi! My name is Melodie, and I bring a warm, reliable, and well-rounded approach to caregiving. I’ve been babysitting off and on since high school, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with families in a wide range of settings—from casual date nights to consistent weekly care. Between 2021 and 2023, I provided regular childcare for a college head coach’s family, where I was trusted to handle everything from after-school routines and bedtime to meal prep and light tidying. More recently, I’ve been working with a wonderful family caring for two young siblings. I’ve also taken formal child development courses and hold an active CPR and First Aid certification. Your child’s safety and emotional well-being are my top priorities, and I pride myself on creating a calm, fun, and structured environment. Whether it’s imaginative play, helping with schoolwork, or reinforcing routines, I aim to support not just the kids but the whole family. In addition to childcare, I’m also experienced in household support. I’ve run my own household and have been employed to help organize others’, so I naturally maintain a clean and tidy space. I enjoy cooking and can prepare simple, healthy meals for children and families as needed. I’m also a huge animal lover and have grown up around pets my whole life. I currently have two of my own and am confident in handling pet care alongside childcare—including walks, feeding, and lots of love. Transportation is never a problem. I have a perfect driving record and a safe, well-maintained vehicle. I understand how important punctuality and reliability are when it comes to caregiving, and I always strive to go above and beyond. Whether you need dependable babysitting, pet care, help keeping your household running smoothly—or all three—I’d love to be a part of your support system. I genuinely care about the families I work with and value building lasting, respectful relationships. Looking forward to connecting!

Great sitter. Punctual, professional and sweet with our children! She even made them dinner and cleaned up the kitchen afterwards! We will definitely book her again!

Hi! I’ve been babysitting for years, working with various ages from infancy to teens. I am currently a SAHM for my own child and am looking to watch an infant along with mine (part-time preferred). Your house or mine is fine, either way. WFH parents is a plus. Willing to offer a slightly reduced rate for this arrangement. Benefits for you and your baby: - Socialization with a child their age in a more personal space - A caregiver that is well equipped in infant care - Cheaper rate - I can teach your ASL baby signs that they can use to communicate 😊 (if you’d like) Message me if you’d like to know more about how I make it work with caring for more than one child.

Nadiia was on time and very friendly! She played with my son and did a good job with him. My son was happy with her and felt comfortable right away. :)

Hello! I am currently a full-time student at UCLA on summer break! Growing up with a large extended family meant I spent my summers watching my little cousins, nieces, and nephews. I have the most experience watching children ages 3-7, however I love kids and am comfortable with any age above toddlers!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
