Hi! I’m Lisa - thank you for visiting my profile! I’m a UCLA graduate and worked full time for many years in politics and civil rights. I’m now in a Master of Clinical Psychology program at Pepperdine and currently see patients for mental health treatment as a Marriage and Family Therapist trainee. I specialize in adolescents and seniors while offering affordable rates via telehealth, so feel free to reach out about that as well! When I’m not seeing patients, I love to babysit in the evenings and I am also available to provide companionate care and transportation for seniors. I’m fully vaccinated, including the latest COVID shot from Fall 2025. For over 20 years, I’ve been babysitting, nannying, and tutoring children of all ages. During that time, I’ve had the pleasure of working with several sets of twins, one set of triplets, and children with asthma, food allergies, ASD, behavioral challenges, and diabetes. In my younger years, I coached a competitive cheerleading squad (ages 11–14), taught at cheer and dance camps (ages 3–14), and worked at a gym teaching dance, cheer, and children’s fitness. I also spent five years as a lifeguard on a Naval base supporting their Search & Rescue training, so CPR and First Aid are second nature to me. When I’m with the kiddos, I love activities that spark creativity and laughter. Arts and crafts, puzzles, impromptu plays, Lego masterpieces, and board game strategy sessions are all personal favorites. If the weather cooperates, I’m also game to get outside to play sports or just burn off some energy. I lean toward a gentle-parenting approach, utilizing kind but clear communication while keeping things fun and warm. With infants and toddlers, I know how important routines are: play, eat, sleep, repeat! I’m also able to read cues and adapt when a little extra comfort or flexibility is needed. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your family! Policies Cancellation Policy: Barring extenuating circumstances, cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice require full payment of the scheduled booking. Health Policy: Out of respect for the medically vulnerable older adults I also work with, I’m unable to care for children who are sick. Thank you for understanding and helping keep everyone healthy!
I enjoy babysitting because it allows me to play outdoors with Kids! I also do a wonderful job decluttering your home. I can do kitchen cabinets, your closet, children's toys and clothing. I love doing creative projects with kids like: arts and crafts, painting, coloring, reading, and Play-Doh. I enjoy being outside, going to parks, beaches and libraries. I was a Film Production Office Coordinator for many years. I'm extremely organized. I am a skilled Home Assistant. I thrive on making all environments more efficient and peaceful. My hobbies include cooking, home organizing, Pet and House Sitting. 4 Hour Minimum per Booking. I am extremely flexible. I can usually come early and may be able to stay later. If you need a regular schedule, we can do a flat rate. Please let me know if you have any questions. Debbie
“Debbie looked after my 22month old daughter over 3 days whilst her daycare was closed. They had the most wonderful time from playing in parks, to visiting local libraries, Debbie was absolutely fantastic and I deeply appreciated how caring and thoughtful she was. Highly reccomend”
Hi! I’m Mandy, a caregiver with almost 20 years of experience under my belt. I work with kids, seniors and pets of all kinds!

Highly communicative and organized, happy to do check ins and updates so you feel comfortable that all is well.

I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages, and I specialize in applied behavioral analysis. Currently, I work in a school setting, supporting autistic children and children with disabilities in their development. I create a fun, engaging, and safe environment that fosters both learning and growth. My approach emphasizes structure and developmentally enriching activities, using play-based techniques to make learning enjoyable. For instance, I might turn toys into counting tools or transform everyday moments into skill-building opportunities. I am a compassionate, patient, and dedicated caregiver who genuinely loves working with children. Since the age of 15, I have cared for children, including those with autism, ensuring they feel supported, valued, and empowered. My goal is to provide a nurturing and educational space where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and cognitively in the classroom and at home, ultimately building productive individuals who contribute positively to society.
“Ariana was awesome! She planned a fun day with my two daughters 5 and 2, was communcative, on time, and very sweet and reliable! Highly recommend!”
Hi! I am an Event Planner, Personal Assistant, House Manager and Lifestyle Manager.
