Booked by 1 family in Mission Hills, 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.

Vivien $25 per hour for 1 child

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!

Families appreciate my reliability, strong communication skills, organization, and commitment to creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. I am trustworthy, adaptable, and dedicated to providing high-quality care tailored to each family’s unique needs.

Booked by 1 family in Mission Hills, CA

Hi everyone! My name is Nicole and I am currently pursuing a doctorate degree in Occupational Therapy at USC. OT is a healthcare profession that focuses on "occupations" needed for daily activities and routines. Occupations can include self-care activities like bathing, dressing, or hobbies that are important and meaningful to the individual I have experience working with kids through two different tutoring jobs I had in the past. I also interned at a memory care facility for older adults with dementia. Aside from that, I have gained multiple experiences and knowledge about working with people who have physical and cognitive disabilities through school. I am also available to run errands if needed. As a grad student, I am looking for part-time opportunities to support my studies! Looking forward to meeting you all.

“Nicole has been wonderful with my son! She is reliable, caring, responsible, and very easy to communicate with. She handles school pickups and takes great care of him while I’m at work, which gives me great peace of mind. My son is comfortable with her, and I really appreciate her patience, dependability, and positive attitude. She has been a great help to our family, and I would highly recommend Nicole to any parent looking for a trustworthy and caring nanny or babysitter. We’ve had a great experience with her!”

"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!"
