Booked by 1 family in Marina Del Rey, CA

I’ve been caring for children, homes, and families for over 15 years. I started babysitting at age 15 and have continued working with kids of all ages ever since. Now at 30, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, experience, and maturity to every family I work with. I graduated from Brown University, where I was a Division I lacrosse player and captain of the team my senior year. That experience shaped my leadership, discipline, and ability to stay calm and organized in fast-paced environments—qualities I bring into caregiving every day. Professionally, I’m a business owner, which speaks to my reliability, time management, and strong communication skills. Families trust me not only with their children, but also with their homes. I’ve frequently been hired to house sit while families travel, managing everything from daily upkeep to pet care and ensuring everything runs smoothly while they’re away. I have extensive experience tutoring middle and high school students, so I’m very comfortable helping with homework, keeping kids engaged, and supporting their academic growth. I also regularly care for my nephew, which has deepened my ability to connect with children in a patient, attentive, and genuinely caring way. Overall, I’m known for being dependable, trustworthy, and easy to work with. I bring a positive, grounded energy and take pride in creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for both kids and families.

“Rosie was an excellent babysitter, I knew my baby was safe and so happy under her care and my dog absolutely loved her!”

I have my own cats, and I grew up with dogs my entire life. I also have had many caretaking jobs for children, mostly around the elementary and middle school age. I also have 5+ years of tutoring and making sure that young children are excelling in whatever they are doing at school. I am kind hearted, caring and love to be around animals.

“The best, very caring cat sitter! Attentive and did great with my kitties.”

Lyndsi $35 per hour for 1 child

I’m a warm, creative, playful and dependable caregiver with 15+ years of childcare experience with children of all ages, from newborns and toddlers to teens. I currently babysit for several wonderful families on the Westside and have experience with infant care, diaper changes, bottles, naps, bedtime routines, potty training, light meal prep, swimming and outdoor activities, arts and crafts, and imaginative play. I have a BA in Theatre from UCLA and a background in comedy, so creativity and play come naturally to me! I’m also an animal lover, have a clean driving record and safe car, and am happy to help with light household tasks related to the children. Most importantly, I strive to create an environment where kids feel safe, cared for, comfortable, and have fun!

"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!"
