I'm a full-time professional and mom to a wonderful 22-year-old daughter, with years of hands-on experience supporting others—whether through parenting, helping aging relatives, or caring for pets. I'm now looking to give back to my community by offering caregiving and household help in my free time. I’m known for being reliable, warm, and thoughtful. I bring both energy and empathy to everything I do, and genuinely enjoy connecting with people of all ages. Whether it’s assisting with errands, offering companionship to seniors, or helping maintain a calm and organized home, I take pride in being dependable and attentive. I also bring a set of professional skills that translate well into caregiving: I’m highly organized, detail-oriented, and analytical. I listen closely, anticipate needs, and follow through with care. When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking, exploring the city, and finding new ways to support and connect with my community.
Hi! My name is Edith, and I’m a mom of three children (ages 6, 4, and 1). I’m offering child care, senior care, and pet care. I love working with children and have hands-on experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids through raising my own children and supporting other families. My experience includes feeding, diapering, naps, school routines, homework help, and engaging kids in reading, crafts, painting, dancing, and imaginative play. I encourage and uplift kids so they feel confident in who they are and what they love. I also have experience providing companion care for seniors, including helping with daily routines, meal preparation, errands, and offering meaningful companionship. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful, and I enjoy building genuine connections. In addition, I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of various sizes and temperaments. I can help with feeding, walking, playtime, and following specific care instructions. I’m comfortable with larger pets and those that shed.
Hi! I'm Lia - A trusted and experienced caregiver with a lifelong connection to child development and family support. While I currently work full-time as a personal and executive assistant, I have years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages - from newborns to school-aged kids, and I continue to offer part-time babysitting for select families. My experience extends beyond direct care. I’ve worked closely with high-profile families and have successfully screened, hired, and managed home staff, including nannies, personal chefs, estate managers, and other household personnel, for celebrities and professional athletes. Before fully establishing my career, I spent years as a nanny and family caregiver, including extended time caring for infant twins and supporting a family with triplets. My love for working with children started early as I was the go-to “baby whisperer” in my large family, helping care for more than 10 younger cousins and relatives. I studied psychology with a focus on child development in college, originally planning to become a child psychologist. Though my career path shifted, my passion for nurturing, structure, and supporting children’s growth never changed. I'm trustworthy, professional, reliable, and intuitive with kids and always happy to jump in for evening, weekend, or occasional care when my schedule allows. Whether you're looking for a sitter you can trust or a seasoned professional who understands discretion and the unique needs of high-profile households, I’d love to connect. Fun fact: also a notary and huge animal lover especially dogs.
Hi! I’m looking for a part-time evening and weekend nanny or babysitting role. I’m CPR certified and work full-time as a pharmacist, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, safety awareness, and attention to detail. I have prior childcare experience from high school caring for one infant and two children under the age of 10. I truly enjoyed being a sitter and miss those times—I love creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment for kids. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to help with routines, playtime, and light childcare-related tasks. I also have experience with pets as I have a husky and have been a dog walker/sitter on Rover.
Hi, my name is Tammy! I'm a recent college grad from USC who just finished serving as an AmeriCorps and am currently applying to medical school. I'm looking to pick up some work while figuring out my next steps. I am great with people of all ages and backgrounds (my AmeriCorps role involved clinical care for adults and seniors, but I used to volunteer as a tutor for K-12 kids) and am an easygoing, chill person who is responsible and has Basic Life Support (BLS) training, which includes CPR. I am happy to watch older kids (5+), run household errands and help out with household chores. I'm also happy to catsit. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

"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!"
