Hello Parents My name is Melisah. I started babysitting when I was in 7th grade (2004). I am a middle school PE teacher. I have been a middle school PE teacher for the past 5 years and worked as an elementary PE teacher 3 years prior to that. I enjoy working with kids of all ages, including newborn babies. I am certified in adult, child and baby CPR/First-Aid/AED.
I’m currently a college student at USC with 4 years of tutoring experience, working with students of all ages to help them grow academically and build confidence. For the past 3 years, I’ve also babysat part-time for multiple families, primarily caring for children ages 1 and up. I’ve handled infants on several occasions and would love to gain more hands-on experience with younger babies as well. I’m calm under pressure, very organized, and always prioritize creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing snacks, playing games, or managing bedtime routines, I’m happy to support families however I can. As a student, I bring energy and strong communication skills. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with both kids and parents, and I’m committed to making your family’s day a little easier.
caring person looking to babysit and dont mind animals as well as chores. Can do house work as well.
Hello! Caring for children and babies is what I do best. As a natural empath and caregiver, I feel it's a skill that just kind of exists for me organically. I think children deserve to be seen and heard, and their feelings matter. I love to have fun and be silly, but am also very calm. I've had parents describe me as their child's "first friend" (let me grab a tissue), which I think is a lovely and fulfilling role to have.
“I chose “other” because my answer is “all of the above”! I’ve known Emily for many years and we’ve worked together, we’re friends, she’s helped me with my kids, all of it! She is amazing with kids and though we are not related, she will always be “Auntie” to my kids. She’s very gentle and kind, but knows when to tell kids no. She’s really patient and understanding with kids and the different emotions they go through. She is very neat and always on time and I would recommend her to any family who needed help with their child care needs!”
As a childcare provider, my passion lies in fostering children's growth and development. With three years of experience, I'm skilled at nurturing the well-being of children aged 0 to 3. My patient and creative nature allows me to connect with children, encouraging their imagination and curiosity. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular updates on their child's day and addressing any concerns. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure a safe and structured environment. Beyond childcare, I can assist with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. My CPR training and coursework in early child development further enhance my ability to provide a nurturing environment for your child. My commitment to supporting families and making a positive impact on children's lives drives me to be the best caregiver for your family.
“Homa, has been an absolute gem for our child. From the very first day, she has shown exceptional care and dedication. She has a natural ability to connect with kids, making them feel comfortable and entertained. She is incredibly reliable and punctual. We never had to worry about her arrival time, and she always kept us informed about any changes in her schedule. Her communication skills are excellent, and she is always available to provide updates on how the day went with our child. One of the things we appreciate the most is her creativity and enthusiasm in engaging our child in various activities. She comes up with fun and educational games that keep our child entertained and help with their development. Our child has learned so much and had so much fun under her care. Moreover, she is very responsible and attentive to our child's needs. She ensures that our child follows their routines, eats healthy meals, and gets enough rest. In addition to her outstanding caregiving skills, she is also a trustworthy person. We feel completely at ease leaving our child in her care, knowing that they are in safe and capable hands. Overall, I highly recommend her as a babysitter. She has been a fantastic addition to our family, and we are incredibly grateful for her dedication and hard work. If you are looking for a reliable, caring, and engaging babysitter, she is the perfect choice.”

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
