Hi! My name is Reem, I am currently a freshman in college but love to do babysitting on the side! I have loads of professional experience with kids of all ages. Some of my experience includes assistant soccer coaching, taking child development in high school, interning at a preschool and working as a special education assistant teacher. I also took care of my special needs brother from time to time! I can do pretty much anything you need like light housekeeping, homework, prepping snacks, taking kids outside, etc. I’m patient, understanding, can work in a fast paced environment and overall loving! Sometimes all a kid needs is someone to talk to or for someone to listen to them, which I am always willing to do!
“Reem was a great sitter!! My 18 mo old took right too her and she was so engaging with him the whole time. We will def hire her again.”
Hello families! My name is Crystle and I’m a recent graduate from CSU Northridge. A few things I’d be more than delighted to do is childcare, pet care, and household services. I have 7 years of experience through summer camps and caregiving for the elderly. I have worked with multiple wonderful families and their children, with whom I have developed great relationships with and had the most rewarding experiences with them. I’ve cared for beloved pets as well! I would be more than happy to accompany your children and/ or pets, as I have a pet myself, and I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for and loving them. I'd be delighted to complete household services as well, including driving the kids to any extracurricular activities or events they might have, looking after pets or running errands. I take initiative in doing work that may need attending to and will ensure that everything required of me is completed thoroughly and efficiently. I understand that finding the best caregiver or babysitter for your loved ones is a top priority, in which I have made it my priority to ensure that I will provide the best outcome. I take pride in any work I do, and I’d love to have the opportunity to work with you! Please don’t hesitate to reach out for any questions or concerns!
Hello Families, I am a Counseling Psychology Masters Student at Pacifica Institute. I have been working with kids for over 10 years. I was an au pair for 2 years in Washington DC. I’m flexible, patient and present. I’m also CPR and First aid certified.
I have at least 5 years of babysitting experience. I can also help with Light Housekeeping and Cooking/Cleaning. I have a license and I am safe and reliable. Being a child caregiver/babysitter is something that means so very much to me! I love children and hope to transfer to University soon to teach in an elementary school setting. I am completed a volunteer internship with Kids Hope USA through Christian Association and Eagle Rock Elementary. I volunteered in my small home church before it closed as the Co-Lead Teacher in a Sunday School program. I enjoy singing, reading, listening to stories, sharing experiences with others and encouraging children to do their best!
“My daughter said she really likes Jessica. Very friendly and patient. She read books and play games with her. Recommended! ”

"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!"
