Tashionna 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, my name is Tashi, I’ve been working with children and seniors for about a decade. I’m a total people’s person so I absolutely love what I do. I know that it is imperative to help the children are seniors that I’m working with to challenge themselves every day. I can help with a variety of things, cooking, cleaning and errands.

“We've met a number of different childcare providers, but no one like Tashionna. Our kids LOVE her! She is so good with them, our youngest always asks "when is Tashionna coming back?!" As parents, we appreciate that she is always reliable and professional. She also helps us out when we need a little extra flexibility. Every parent knows the value of that! Tashionna is bilingual and has been teaching our kids some Spanish. That was something we hadn't thought about, but the educational value of it was a nice surprise. Our oldest is in high school now and he really excels in his foreign language class, I know she was a big influence. She's a fantastic care-giver, we highly recommend her. - Claire”

Booked by 2 families in San Fernando, CA

Hi! My name is Isabel, I’m 25 years old and grew up in the Burbank area as part of a close-knit family of five. I’ve been around children for as long as I can remember and have hands-on experience caring for kids between the ages of 1 to 10 years old. I especially enjoy working with children ages 1 to 5, as I believe this is a crucial time in their development—and I love being part of their growth, learning, and joy during these early years. I’m trilingual in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language (ASL), which I’ve found can be a fun and engaging way to help children learn to communicate in different ways. I’m also a recent graduate from California State University, Northridge (CSUN). In addition to childcare, I love staying active, doing arts and crafts, baking, and going on walks. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can express themselves, explore, and thrive.

“Isabel is my son’s best friend! She’s an amazing nanny and i highly recommend her!!! ”

Genessis $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Genessis, Genny for short! I speak English and Spanish. I can help with homework for kids, I have been told I would make a great teacher although that is not what I am currently perusing as a career. I have no problem babysitting teens. I grew up as the oldest of 6 so I was constantly babysitting for my parents. I dont have too much experience with infants but I am confident in my ability to babysit them as well as toddlers to teens even older teens too. I have been told by my family and friends and my own siblings that I have a lot of patience. I like kids and I like taking care of them and from my experience kids tend to gravitate towards me. I am never opposed to playing games with or talking about the little things that they are into, I love all kinds of kid movies and shows, and I am very much used to hearing the same show or song or movie on repeat so can be very enjoyable and fun to be around for the little ones. I also have experience taking care of pets, specifically dogs and cats. Although I do not mind learning about how to take care of other pets as well, I love most animals and I am not afraid of most animals or insects either. I am currently attending college so my schedule is a little bit weird. Saturdays and Sundays I am available all day of course. Mondays and Wednesdays, I would be available from around 2pm to 11pm. Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays I will not be available until around 6pm to 11pm. I will be commuting to and from on the bus, I will always do my very best to be as early as possible to avoid being late. Of course there will sometimes be delays with the bus and all. If that occurs I will absolutely taking initiative to stay in contact if it does come down to that to let you know about my eta even if I am not late I would too. Depending on the day and time I will be sitting for you I might have to also do my own homework and assignments, it will not affect my ability to be sitting for you because that is my own responsibility just as babysitting for you will be my responsibility. However, I would just like you to keep in mind that you may find me bringing my laptop to complete my schoolwork especially since I do have online classes that require only fully online class work. I am happy to help out, clean, cook (although I only know a few dishes), and simply take care of the kiddos or pets and I cant wait to start babysitting and/or petsitting! :)

"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!"
