Nurturing young minds is my passion. I am eager to positively impact your child's life. With a college degree and one year of childcare experience, I offer a blend of education and practical skills. My personality is patient, calm, creative, friendly, and approachable. I follow the parent's lead when enforcing household rules. I am comfortable caring for one child. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games. I am also happy to help with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. I am skilled at swimming supervision. I am also CPR Trained and TrustLine certified (CA only). I will follow your preferred communication method. I look forward to connecting with your family and creating a fun, safe, and enriching environment for your little one.
I love children! I helped raise my (fraternal twin brothers). I have a reputation for my warm, caring nature, and for being reliable and trustworthy. I have been a nanny (in Nashville) to an infant and to a toddler and school aged child (also in Nashville). I have also been a nanny/tutor to a school-aged girl in Los Angeles, and a special-needs school-aged boy in Los Angeles. My main profession is writing, but I am seeking a side hustle to give me a chance to spend time around kids and also to supplement my writing work income since AI is stealing some of my work. = ) I have GREAT references!
Greetings parents and guardians my name is Danielle and i'm a mother of two adult boys now. I'm 47 years old with 25 plus years of early childhood education experience . I've work with and care for children in a professional and leisurely capacity , starting from infancy as early as three months up to school age which I consider any where between 5 yrs - 10 yrs. I"m spunky, crafty and don't mind getting messy and doing a little exploring with your child. I'm CPR and first aid certified, I'm also certified as a mandated reporter and have been finger printed and cleared to work in the state of California . This would be a part-time position for me , as I'm currently employed full time as a Preschool teacher in a well know child care corporation in the Los Angeles area.
I have nearly three years of babysitting experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. (Im currently working in Hospitality in Marina Del Rey as Front desk) I’m a patient, dependable, and caring person who truly enjoys spending time with kids and supporting their growth in a safe and nurturing environment. I’m knowledgeable about basic child safety practices and CPR/first aid awareness, and I always prioritize children’s well-being and comfort. I keep kids engaged with creative play, reading, outdoor time (if parents allow it) , and simple learning activities. Happy to help with simple meal prep for children, homework support, and light tidying related to the kids. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and believe communication with parents is very important. I make sure families feel comfortable and confident knowing their children are being cared for. Happy to work with you.
Hi! My name is Brenda. I absolutely love working with children and creating supportive, engaging, and meaningful experiences for them. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 years old and have had the joy of caring for some of the same children all the way through their high school years. Building real relationships with families and watching kids grow has been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. I currently babysit for a wonderful family of three children ages 6, 9, and 12, where I support with dinner, evening routines like reading together, and fun outdoor adventures including hiking and exploring nature. I also occasionally take two girls on cultural and educational excursions around the city, helping them learn through experiences, curiosity, and discovery. I hold a degree in World Arts and Cultures from UCLA, which allows me to bring creativity, storytelling, movement, and arts activities into the time I spend with kids. I value imagination, kindness, learning, and creating an uplifting environment where kids feel safe and supported. For families with teens, I’m also happy to support with college preparation, including guidance on admissions written statements and helping students express their stories and strengths confidently as my professional training centers around supporting students. I’m reliable, patient, nurturing, and genuinely enjoy being part of a child’s world. I would love to support your family, too!

"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!"
