Evita $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.

Yoselin $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Yoselin! I started babysitting at 15 and working as a nanny at 18, with experience caring for children from 6 months through their teenage years. I currently work as a house manager and family assistant and am looking to pick up occasional evening and weekend babysitting. I’m patient, dependable, and easygoing. I’m comfortable preparing meals, spending time playing with the kids, and following their evening and bedtime routines. I also speak Spanish and am comfortable with pets. I finish my workday in Culver City and can start around 6 p.m. in nearby areas, depending on location. I’m also open to weekend bookings. Feel free to reach out to see if we’d be a good fit!

Nancy $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Pacoima, CA

My name is Nancy. I am the first born daughter of 8 children. I’ve been helping my mom take care of my siblings which have built the foundation of my profession. I’m currently a preschool teacher and have previous experience with being a substitute teacher for about 6 years. Through substituting, I was able to obtain a lot of my professional experience. I’ve been to a vast amount of daycares where I got to see and learn different learning styles in children as well as different approaches to learning and teaching children to achieve their milestones. I’ve been in a classroom where I’ve had to potty train and can say I was able to learn a few techniques. I’ve also been “long-term” in some sites where I was able to grow a bond with some of the children and celebrate their success. I do have a sibling with Asperger’s autism who is 15, so I have some experience with children on the spectrum.

Sandra 1 review
$23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Pacoima, CA

Hi my name is Sandra and I am recent college graduate. I am offering child care and pet care services. I love working with kids and have helped with babysitting on quite a number of occasions. I have watched both toddlers and kids 4-13. My responsibilities included playing games, tutoring, and other miscellaneous tasks. I have also worked with toddlers (ages 3-4) in a classroom setting and have experience reading to students and creating arts and crafts projects for them.

“Sandra was nothing short of an amazing sitter! Our kids instantly clicked with her when she arrived, which is very rare for them with a 1st time sitter. Sandra was prompt, communicative, and went above and beyond with her services. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be using her services 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!"
