Olivia Los Angeles
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name's Olivia and I am a student at Loyola Marymount University, pursuing a career in education, with a passion for cultivating engaging and caring environments for youth! With me, your kids will be in great hands and household tasks will be taken care of. I have a variety of professional and in-home childcare experience including babysitting, dance lessons, swim lessons, summer camps, and ABA. I am also an animal lover with a husky and cat at home. I believe in curiosity-led adventures that allow kids to develop their emotional intelligence and expand their knowledge. This might involve getting active outside, doing science experiments, arts and crafts, and more. I'll work with you to involve as much of your family customs into our day as possible. Additionally, I have the necessary skills and experience to work with kiddos who have sensory challenges, ASD, ADHD, and/or DS. I look forward to working with your family!

Catherine Los Angeles
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Cat, a college-educated, reliable nanny with 3 years of professional experience. I'm 26 and have worked with children ages 2–12, supporting families throughout my college years and beyond. My time as a nanny sparked a genuine passion for childcare that continues to this day. I am looking for part-time or one-off nanny opportunities, as I currently work full-time in the beauty marketing industry. I love planning fun, enriching activities, and I’m great with pets, music, reading, and movie time. I have my own reliable transportation and always show up on time, ready to help. If my previous families were to describe me, they'd probably say I am trustworthy, caring, and responsible. I’d love to support your family however I can!

Juliette Los Angeles
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Juliette, and I’m a Psychology major at Boston College. I am originally from California. I’ve always loved working with children. I grew up babysitting for my neighbors. In high school, I ran an afterschool art program for 1st–4th graders, helping students express themselves and build confidence through creativity was a truly rewarding experience. I’m patient, dependable, and active, and I enjoy engaging kids through play, crafts, and reading. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and positive environment where children can thrive. I also love to cook and bake, am happy to help with homework and household tasks, and I’m comfortable caring for pets as well.

Carla Encino
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Pacific Palisades, CA

Hi, my name is Carla. I'm a bilingual caregiver who speaks both English and Spanish, and I'm new to this platform. I specialize in caring for children ages 1 to 5 years old, helping them learn and grow through play. I believe that watching TV is not beneficial for young children; instead, I focus on interactive activities that encourage creativity, language, and motor skills, helping each child reach important developmental milestones in a fun, natural way. I have nearly 3 years of experience volunteering at an orphanage abroad, caring for babies and toddlers, and I'm also a proud mom of a 4-year-old, whom I've cared for since birth. I hold a standard CPR certification and maintain a clean record. I'm reliable, caring, and adaptable to each family's unique needs. While I'm still building local references, I'm happy to provide personal ones upon request. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and help your little one thrive!

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I am from New York but have been living in LA for almost 4 years. I have 6-7 years of experience of working with kids from teaching skiing, nannying, and regular babysitting. In the past I would play board games, paint, and anything outdoors. My full time job is as an art director so I lean on the creative side to do painting, drawing, etc with the kiddos. Hope we can connect soon!
