Elysia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Elysia, and I am currently a senior at UCLA. I have a passion for working with children and serving our youth in any way I can. Kids truly bring so much joy to life, and I love connecting with them while supporting their growth, confidence, and creativity. I hope to not only be a caregiver, but also a positive mentor and role model for the children I work with. I have hands on experience working at the Boys & Girls Club, where I formulated weekly lesson plans that encouraged student participation through interactive activities and creative projects. I focused fun and engaging learning experiences while fostering an environment where children felt safe to express themselves and develop critical thinking skills. Creating a supportive and welcoming space was always my top priority. Through this role, I demonstrated strong leadership and mentorship by guiding students in personal growth, helping them set attainable goals, and motivating them through positive reinforcement and recognition of their accomplishments. This approach helped increase their self confidence and enthusiasm toward both academics and daily life. I also implemented structured daily routines to provide consistency, while maintaining a warm, caring, and positive attitude when working with both individuals and groups of children. Overall, I strive to ensure a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and inspired to be their best selves. I truly love working with kids and feel grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in their lives.

Afsana $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello there, My name is Afsana—just like it’s spelled! A fun fact about my name is that it means fairytale or story, which I think is a perfect way to connect with children. Taking care of children is not as easy as many people think, but it’s something that has always come naturally to me. I’m the second oldest of seven siblings, so growing up I often took on the role of a second mom—making sure everyone was safe, supported, and taken care of. That experience helped me develop patience, responsibility, and a deep understanding of children. Another fun fact about me is that I work in the dental health field, mainly with kids. I work in a pediatric dental and orthodontic office, so you might occasionally hear me talk about dental health—please excuse me if I do! While I may not have formal childcare certifications, I have years of real-life experience caring for children and building meaningful connections with them. I enjoy engaging with kids through books, movies, games, and everyday activities. I truly believe that when you’re around children, you have to be a kid at heart. That’s how they feel comfortable opening up, being themselves, and sharing their little adventures with you. Many people have told me that I’m a “child whisperer” because of how naturally I connect with kids. I love their curiosity and I’m always happy to answer the thousand questions they tend to have. If I have the opportunity to babysit your child, I will always prioritize their safety, health, and happiness. Childhood is such a special time, and I believe those experiences stay with children for the rest of their lives. I would do my best to make sure your child feels safe, supported, and has a wonderful time. Thank you for your time and consideration.

"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!"
