Evita Los Angeles
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Evita, and I'm a graduate student at USC pursuing my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy after earning my degree in Psychology. I offer babysitting, tutoring, homework help, and light household assistance, and I'm passionate about creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children. I have experience working with children ages 3–5 through a community program where I helped build social-emotional skills, school readiness, healthy routines, and positive learning experiences. In addition to childcare, I enjoy helping with homework, reading, arts and crafts, educational activities, meal preparation, and keeping children engaged in creative play. As a psychology student and former teacher assistent I'm patient, dependable, and comfortable helping children learn while making sure they feel encouraged and cared for. Families can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and communicative. My goal is to provide dependable care that gives parents peace of mind while making sure every child feels safe, happy, and supported.

Booked by 1 family in Pacific Palisades, CA

I’m a caring, reliable caregiver with experience working with children of all ages, and I also bring the perspective of being a parent to an infant. I hold a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree, which has shaped my thoughtful, safety-focused approach to caregiving. I’m comfortable with everything from newborn care to engaging older kids in play, and I always aim to create a calm, nurturing environment while following each family’s routines. I treat every child with patience, attentiveness, and the same care I give my own.

Roxanna 1 review
Los Angeles
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a mother of two children of my own, and have been caring for children for over 30 years. I have worked with different families over those years in which I’ve started with babies until they’re in high school. I love to do fun activities, museums, sports games with the children. I love to listen to music and read books.

Roxanna has worked with my family for over 10 years on and off. She was our full time nanny for my son from 6 months to 10yo. Roxanna is exceptional and a seasoned nanny. When we were new to LA, she gave me so much information and took the kids to all the best activities and places. She evolved with our family as the kids grew. She is absolutely wonderful with babies but equally great with school aged kids. She shuttled them to activities, feed them, prepped for school and homework. She was such an incredible asset to the family. She also is genuinely such a positive and kind spirit. She loves children and is truly a professional in childcare. Her next family will be lucky to have her.
