Hi! I’m a developmental therapist with a genuine passion for working with children and supporting their growth, confidence, and emotional well-being. I currently work with children ages 3–10 while pursuing my Master’s in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Development, with a concentration in Youth Work and Out-of-School Time. I’ve spent over six years working with children in a variety of settings, including schools, preschools, camps, and families’ homes. I’ve worked in special education with LAUSD, taught preschool in both San Francisco and Portland, and spent four years as a camp counselor with Camp Galileo. These experiences have given me the opportunity to work with children of different ages, personalities, and needs, and have taught me how important it is to meet each child where they are. I also have several years of nannying experience and have worked with around seven different families. I’ve helped with everything from weekly childcare and school pickups to overnight trips, meal preparation, bedtime routines, arts and crafts, homework, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I really enjoy creating a balance between structure and fun—whether that means getting creative with an activity, heading outside to play, helping with homework, or simply being a caring and dependable presence for a child. Outside of my professional work, I’ve always been passionate about giving back to children and families. I’ve volunteered with organizations such as Safe & Sound, where I provided peer counseling and support, and Reading Partners, where I tutored elementary school children who were working to improve their reading skills. I would describe myself as warm, patient, responsible, and easygoing. I truly enjoy getting to know each child as an individual and creating a relationship where they feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can be a helpful part of your child’s life!

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!

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.

I love children! I helped raise my (fraternal twin brothers). I have a reputation for my warm, caring nature, and for being reliable and trustworthy. I have been a nanny (in Nashville) to an infant and to a toddler and school aged child (also in Nashville). I have also been a nanny/tutor to a school-aged girl in Los Angeles, and a special-needs school-aged boy in Los Angeles. My main profession is writing, but I am seeking a side hustle to give me a chance to spend time around kids and also to supplement my writing work income since AI is stealing some of my work. = ) I have GREAT references!
