Hello! I bring decades of experience to your family as I am a mother, and I babysit my nieces and nephews. I am well versed in STEM-based teaching curriculum and arts-based learning. I hold a UCLA degree and am fully fluent in English and Spanish. I am also a trained birth doula to support new parents. I also successfully raised my son, who is now in college. Aside from babysitting, I am willing to run errands and do your family’s grocery shopping. I am community-minded and recently won an award from the LA County for Human Relations - LA vs Hate project, I love to laugh, teach children how to read, write and do crafts and art projects. I can also teach your children some basic capoeira moves. I am willing to commute kids to school and prepare healthy meals. I also love being around elders from your family and am willing to run errands for them as well. Feel free to reach out and I’d be happy to send you my resume.
Dixie, my first pet, joined our family when I was just a year old, teaching me lessons of love, loyalty, patience, and protection. My deep affection for animals translates into special connections, and I care for them as if they were my own. I've mastered the art of training animals tricks. Recently I have trained my sister's new puppy to take treats gently, sit, and spin on command. Additionally, my cats now respond to the command to stand up. Animals have significantly contributed to my mental well-being, and I value the opportunity Rover provides to get out of the house to go on walks with new animal companions. Looking forward for the chance to meeting your furry friend soon❤️
“Cindy is always wonderful with our cats! ”
Hi, my name is Sandra. I am a kind, loving mother of three with a warm, patient heart. I have hands-on experience caring for children, cooking, cleaning, and organizing, and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and happy home environment for families.
Hi there! I’m Renn, a caring and reliable sitter with 10+ years of experience working with children of all ages. I have worked in an elementary school setting for the past 5+ years, with children that have learning differences. Over the years, I have been asked by multiple parents of the students I work with to babysit, pet sit, and house sit and can provide amazing references. I love engaging kids in fun activities, whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor play, or reading stories. I’m also happy to help with homework or prepare simple meals. I am a very creative and active person. In my free time, I embroider by hand, make jewelry, rock climb, hike, and swim. I also love playing chess! With the school year approaching, I am ideally looking for a family who needs a little extra help. I have a reliable vehicle and am happy to facilitate rides if needed. Looking forward to meeting you and your little one(s)!
I am a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with over two years of professional experience working in private homes, state facilities, and hospital settings, including Kaiser Permanente. My background spans caring for children of various ages and needs, with a strong emphasis on safety, emotional support, and enrichment. Internationally, I have participated in mission and mentorship programs throughout the Philippines and Thailand, supporting underserved and at-risk children through education, structured activities, and positive guidance. I have supervised classrooms of up to seven children at a time, led mentorship programs for troubled youth, and organized community initiatives such as beach cleanups and educational surf programs that encouraged both discipline and joy. In addition to my caregiving experience, I am currently a holistic chef working with a luxury hotel, where I specialize in creating mindful, nourishing snacks and developing healthy eating habits for children, including those who are selective or hesitant eaters. I enjoy making daily routines fun, engaging, and meaningful while fostering curiosity, confidence, and healthy habits. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth in a way that feels safe, exciting, and nurturing, and I truly value opportunities where I can make a positive impact in a child’s life.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
