Gigi $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! I’m Gigi and I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting since high school and worked at a daycare throughout college, giving me experience caring for children of all ages with most of my time being spent with toddlers! I’m also a dog owner to a boxer and a bulldog/pit mix, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets. I’m responsible, patient, and reliable, and am happy to help with activities, homework, meals, daily routines, bedtime, and household tasks. Heads up- I do work full time so my availability is early mornings during the week, late nights, and free all weekends! Excited to work with you and your family! :)

Hulya $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hulya, and I am a caring, responsible, and dependable person who enjoys spending time with children. I am a former dentist, which has given me strong skills in patience, communication, attention to detail, and maintaining a safe and healthy environment. Throughout my life, I have had experience caring for children, starting with my younger brother. I helped take care of him when he was a baby and continued to support and look after him as he grew older. This experience taught me the importance of responsibility, empathy, and creating a nurturing atmosphere. Since moving to the United States, I have also been doing occasional babysitting for families in my community. Through these experiences, I have cared for children of different ages, helping with playtime, meals, homework, bedtime routines, and ensuring they feel comfortable and secure while their parents are away. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to provide attentive, patient, and individualized care. My goal is to create a positive, safe, and engaging environment where children can have fun, learn, and feel supported. I would be honored to help your family and provide reliable childcare you can trust.

Amrawit $20 per hour for 1 child

I have a bachelor’s degree in International Affairs, and I’ve been babysitting for the past 3 years. I currently babysit and have experience caring for children of different ages, and I really enjoy keeping them engaged through activities, walks, games, and just having fun together. I love caregiving because I genuinely enjoy being around kids and being someone they can feel comfortable and safe with. A little something about me: I’m a big soccer fan, love being outdoors, and I’m always up for a fun activity or adventure!

Unavailable for full-time nanny positions Hi! I’m a dependable, warm, and experienced caregiver with over 15 years of childcare experience and 67 repeat families since joining this platform in 2016. I work full-time as an HR Generalist in Los Angeles during the week and provide babysitting support for families seeking consistent, reliable care from someone they can truly trust. As the second oldest of seven siblings, caring for children has always been second nature to me. While I have experience with children ranging from 6 weeks through 15 years old, I especially enjoy working with toddlers and preschool-aged children (approximately 1–5 years old). I’m patient, attentive, and nurturing, and I focus on creating a calm, structured, and engaging environment through age-appropriate play, outdoor time, routines, and gentle guidance. Families often describe me as dependable, communicative, and easy to work with. I’m comfortable managing bedtime routines, light meal prep, transitions, and following household preferences to ensure continuity of care. Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering in the community, traveling, hiking, Olympic weightlifting (which emphasizes focus, discipline, and safety), running, and unwinding with a good book. I typically respond to booking requests within a couple of hours during the workweek. I look forward to building long-term relationships with families and being a trusted part of your child’s care team. Important note: At the time of booking, please let me know if your child is currently ill, recovering from an illness, has special needs, diabetes, or requires any specific care considerations. This helps ensure I can provide the best care possible and avoid any last-minute misunderstandings.

“Susanna was great with my 2yr old daughter! She was warm and friendly. I look forward to hiring 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!"
