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.

McKenna $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is McKenna, and I have a strong passion for working with children and supporting families. I worked at Build-A-Bear Workshop for a little under a year, gaining hands-on experience creating fun, engaging, and positive experiences for kids of all ages. I love being a positive role model and bringing a warm, encouraging presence into every environment. I am very energetic and naturally adapt to each child's personality and energy level. Whether that means keeping up with active play or creating calm, structured moments, I can meet kids where they are. I am also very patient, understanding, and attentive, which helps me build trust and strong connections with both children and parents. I have experience working with a wide age range, from 1 to 17-year-olds, and I value open communication with families to ensure the best possible care. I am currently in school studying to become a child therapist, so I am especially passionate about emotional support, development, and helping children feel safe and understood. I am very creative and imaginative, and I love coming up with fun activities, games, and ways to keep kids engaged and happy. I am also more than happy to provide a reference from my time at Build-A-Bear Workshop!

Hello! I am a compassionate, dependable caregiver with extensive experience working with children from infancy through adolescence. My background includes providing care and support to children in a variety of settings, including vulnerable and underserved populations, where patience, adaptability, and strong relationship-building skills are essential. I am passionate about helping children feel safe, supported, and engaged. I enjoy creating fun, enriching experiences through performing arts, imaginative play, crafts, sports, and other physical activities that promote confidence and creativity. I also have experience working with adolescence on the autism spectrum. Whether caring for an infant, keeping up with an energetic toddler, or connecting with a teenager, I tailor my approach to meet each child’s unique needs and interests. Families can count on me to provide attentive supervision, encourage positive behavior, and maintain a nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I am experienced with daily routines, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and age-appropriate activities that foster both emotional well-being and personal development. Additionally, I have extensive experience in the performing arts, including acting, singing, and dance. In my free time, I enjoy decorating, arts and crafts, and spending time with my family and friends. Through American Red Cross, I am certified in both Pediatric (Child and Baby) First Aid / CPR / AED, and Babysitting. My goal is to provide parents with peace of mind while ensuring their children feel cared for, respected, and encouraged to be their best selves.

Hello! My name's Olivia and I am a student at Loyola Marymount University, pursuing a career in education, with a passion for cultivating engaging and caring environments for youth! With me, your kids will be in great hands and household tasks will be taken care of.
