Hi, I'm Jazmine! I have 10 years of experience with children, 9 years of experience with children under 3 and 7 years of experience with infants under 1. I am BLS CPR certified and proficient in Spanish. I tend to take a screen-free approach, unless the parents say otherwise, to encourage creativity and flexible thinking. I believe in developing a sense of trust, communication and respect with all families I work with. If you have any pets, I can make sure that their needs are met as well. Additionally, I am not opposed to doing light housework (laundry, dishes, tidying up), to keep things running smoothly once I depart. I am available for occasional date nights, ad hoc days, and overnights. Like what you see? I hope to hear from you soon!!!

Hi I'm Sarah. I am a college graduate with professional work experience. I babysat in my teenage years for families in my neighborhood and some outside of my neighborhood who knew me. The majority of those families had young children & infants as they were growing their families. I also had grade school age children. I love playing with kids, making sure they are having fun and sometimes educational experiences. I love the outdoors and taking kids out to the park.

“Came on short notice and got along well with the kids, plus picked up in living room!”

My name is Ashley and I have been working with children from infants to school age for the past 15 years as a preschool teacher. I have an AA in Early Childhood Education and have First Aid/CPR training. I currently work as a nutrition and breastfeeding counselor on weekdays. I love kids and I have always had a passion for education. I decided I wanted to be a teacher when I was 5 years old. I’m a big kid at heart so I love making up silly songs and being playful. I am a mom to three daughters. In my spare time I like to knit, crochet and write poetry. Starting rate for 5yrs+ $22 3.5 - 5yrs $23 2 - 3.5yrs $24 1 - 2yrs $25 Under 1 $26 *Each additional child will be +$4 **Rates may vary by case or be based on needs of the child. ***Cancellation Policy*** I require at least 24 hours notice for cancellations. Less than 24 hours notice will be charged 50% of booking rate. You may reschedule your booking with no cancellation penalty, subject to availability. ***Interview Policy*** At this time, I am only offering phone or virtual interviews. If you prefer an in person interview, I would need to be paid for my time. With Love, Ashley :)

“Ashley is a phenomenal educator and caregiver. She cares for our girls and we were blown away by her focus on not just caring for our girls but developing them by creating a needs based plan customised to their stage of development. Our little girl went from saying very little to speaking and communicating her needs effectively after just one week with Ashley. We especially value Ashley taking the time to observe our kiddos and apply her experience as an educator to let us know what’s normal during this stage of development. Her approach is nurturing and her calm demeanour has helped our kiddo develop tools to address challenging tasks. She also brings a calm presence to the house. Ashley is extremely organized and provides a helping hand. She’s communicative, punctual, and extremely reliable.”

Booked by 3 families in Mount Wilson, CA

Hello! I'm currently a Design Consultant at an SF based apparel and accessories company. I enjoy making furniture, cooking, and doing anything creative. I have been a nanny/sitter for six years and have worked with children ranging from 3 months-5 years old. Getting to be a nannying/sitter has been an awesome experience because I have gotten to be part of kiddos lives and enjoy watching them grow.

“Shanti worked with my family for several months caring for my son 4mo-9mo 20 hours per week. She was a ray of sunshine. She always showed up on time and was not only engaged with my son but also was so proactive in helping out with any and all housekeeping whenever his napping allowed. I always came home to a spotless house. She is also wonderful to talk to!”

Hi! My name is Rosa, I am attending Cerritos College. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 years old family members, close friends and relatives; different ages and even twins. . I also have my CPR/First Aid Pediatric for adults/children; I also have my certificate for child development. I’ve been a preschool teacher for 6 years already and I couldn’t be any happier with my dream job. I love teaching and watch them get excited of their accomplishments for example help with fine-motor skills,tracing,numbers, colors etc. I can help children and elderly; and also fur babies by going for a walk and play with him/her. I am going to start my full time job soon, but feel free for part times, occasional, if you really need me just send me a DM and we can work something out, don’t hesitate I am very open minded and we can definitely fine a way to work and help out with your kiddos, Seniors, and dogs.

“Rosa was great with my two little ones! 2 under 2 is definitely a challenge and she handled them well! Would hire her again.”

"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!"
