Booked by 41 families in Reseda, CA

Hello! My name is Melissa, and I have been babysitting for over 15 years now. I have also worked for after-school programs, summer day camps, sleep away camps, and more. I absolutely adore children, their bright energy is so contagious! I have experience with keeping children to their routines and schedules, as well as ample experience doing fun activities like arts and crafts, nature walks, and things that are enjoyable while encouraging development. I also teach kids yoga classes, love dogs, and am available to help out with household tasks as arranged. I took a long hiatus from nannying to work at a school but am now returning and hoping to help out with part-time care or one time needs!

“Melissa was pleasant and professional. Great experience.”

Hi! My name is Sydney and I am college graduate from Brandeis University and have recently graduated from Parker University. I have been babysitting since I was 14. I am CPR/First Aid/AED certified for children and infants. I played collegiate and international softball, so I can definitely handle an active child. I love children of all ages. I worked in a daycare from 2[removed] in Massachusetts in the 2-3-year-old classroom. In addition to children, I also adore animals. I have been a Wag Walker for 4 years, but I also volunteered at an animal rescue for years. I have two dogs, a cat, and a turtle so I can (and will) comfortably care for your animals!

“Fantastic! Great communicator and my kids loved her! ”

Booked by 3 families in Reseda, CA

Hi! My name is Serena and I'm a recent grad from San Francisco State University. I majored in Child & Adolescent Development with a concentration in School Age Child & Family. During college I was an afterschool nanny for 4 years for the same family, providing transportation to activities, helping with homework, performing light housekeeping, and preparing lunches for the next day. I also worked at the San Francisco Zoo as a camp instructor for three summers, working with children ages 4 to 10. I would describe my childcare philosophy as a strong emphasis on building trustful relationships, with lots of fun and laughing! I have my own car with a clean driving record, and I am also CPR/First Aid certified! Looking forward to meet you and your kids! :)

Booked by 2 families in Reseda, CA

Hello my name is Reina. I have a BA in Psychology. I have close to 10 years of working experience with children ranging from infants to school-aged children. I am currently an educator who teaches different ages in elementary schools. I was also a behavior technician who worked with children with different developmental disabilities. I enjoy teaching and seeing children succeed.

“Reina was super friendly, great with the kids, and so kind! I appreciated how flexible she was with our ever-changing schedule. I have a neurodivergent child, and she got along with him so well! She played games with them, helped my son build a cardboard house...she engaged them in fun activities and ensured they went to bed on time and with a nice reading session. Our boys loved her and wanted to know when she would be back!”

$22 per hour for 1 child

Aside from having taken care of my four daughters and nieces over the years, I most recently helped my daughter adjust back to her work routine and cared for my granddaughter on a regular basis, both day and nights. I am great with children and see each as my own, and am open to rules set by the parents and abide by them. I have pets at home, so caring for pets is nothing new to me, as well as seniors. I also take care of all of our household chores, so that's also something I can do if requested.

“Wonderful experience, she’s cared for my 15 month old and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s attentive, and my daughter adores her. My daughter is a picky eater, so its been tough, but her patience has been key. She’s helped with chores around the house too.”

"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!"
