Hi, I'm Noemi (Noe), and I'm passionate about providing thoughtful, personalized care for individuals of all ages and abilities as well as pets. I've worked as a middle school art teacher and an instructional aide, supporting students with a variety of abilities. I've also been a behavior technician and worked with young ones with ASD. I’ve been a caretaker as a side job since I was 15. I have experience caring for newborns to teenagers, as well as disabled young adults. I strive to make my care meet the needs of the young ones I work with. Whether that's imaginary play, board games, puzzles, books, or video games. I make our session fun, engaging, and reach developmental milestones. I also have experience taking care and being a companion to senior adults. I’ve taken care of my grandparents (80+) and a family friend who made it to the wonderful age of 90. Companionship is crucial to their mental health and I appreciate the wisdom they have to offer. I am patient, kind, and love to talk/listen to folks stories. As a dog parent myself (two wonderful pups, ages 7 and 13), I'm comfortable caring for both small and large dogs. Whether it's ensuring a safe, nurturing environment for your loved ones or providing attentive care for your furry friends, I'm here to help. Let's connect to discuss how I can support your family!

“Noemi is amazing! From ages 9-16, Noemi babysat my younger brother who has Down Syndrome. Through the years, Noemi supported my brother in managing and completing daily routine tasks such as homework, daily hygiene, and creative outlets. Noemi was always very patient and a great communicator which supported my brother in reaching his interpersonal goals to be able to carry out meaningful conversations to build relationships. Noemi's passion for supporting other's can be seen and felt. I am so grateful to have had someone that truly values and cares for others care for my younger brother.”

Hi! My name is Jacqueline, but you can call me Jackie or Jax. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I consider it my backyard and love exploring its ever-changing face. I have been a mother's helper since I was 12, and at 16, I had the honor of babysitting and nannying alone. People may call me a people pleaser, but I truly enjoy being part of the village and helping people and animals, any which way. It has always been fulfilling to me. Life gets super busy, so an extra helping hand doesn't hurt anyone. I am currently at Santa Monica College pursuing a nursing degree. Thanks for taking the time to read about me, and I look forward to working with you.

“Jax has been an incredible person to have around my son. She has such positive energy and is so creative with activities. I would recommend her to any friend or stranger. She is always reliable and easy to communicate with. In addition, she is always great around our dog. My son has so much fun with her and she really encourages him to be independent and try things.”

Hello! My name is Lizzy and I'm offering my services as a creative and arts-focused babysitter. I grew up in an artist family and have a lot of experience with exploring all the arts. I have a knack for inspiring kids to get drawing, painting, singing, sculpture, dancing, and playing. I was raised biculutrally French and American and I can easily adapt to international families. I speak fluent French and I have a B1.3 level in Spanish. I can also speak conversational German. I’ve lived in Germany and France as well, and spent some time in Italy, Mexico, and Portugal. I'm allergic to cats and dogs unfortunately, but can be around hypoallergenic dogs without problems. I'm a tidy person, and good at organising! I can help tidy and organise your house, do shopping, etc. Thank you and hope to hear from you!

"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!"
