Misty $35 per hour for 1 child

I've raised 4 children, three girls and one boy. I have 4 "favorites". I home educated my older two through graduation. It was an awesome experience. I enjoy children of all ages and consider caring for them to be a blessing and high calling. I'm easy-going, smart, kind, intuitive and full of initiative. The glass is half full to me and gratitude is a daily priority. I enjoy making the most of each moment. I enjoy thrifting, estate sales, reading, exploring and being near the water. I was raised in the Midwest, happily lived in Austin for 15 years and newly arrived in Echo Park. Empty nest, new adventure! I have excellent references for childcare, elder care, personal assistant, clear recent background check, excellent driving record. * Especially interested in: one time jobs, recurring jobs with minimal hours per week, travel jobs-domestic or international of two weeks or less

Hi! My name is Nataliia. I’m a caring, reliable, and energetic babysitter with experience working with children of all ages, including kids with special needs (global developmental delay, Down syndrome, autism, and behavioral challenges). I have a strong background in early childhood care, safety routines, and creating a calm, structured environment. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on each child’s individual needs. I can support communication, sensory regulation, and daily routines, and I’m comfortable managing unexpected situations. I’m available for one-time babysitting, evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings. Looking forward to helping your family feel supported and safe!

Nadia $30 per hour for 1 child

I am an exhibition designer. During the week, I have a full time job. I have 1 -2 years of experience with kids while teaching art K-5. Care giving is one of the duties of teaching art to children so I would be more than happy to spend time with kids. I grew up with dogs, and have always had one except now. I can help you with your pets needs in your home like feeding them and spending time with them but wont stay overnight. I have experience with seniors, mainly family members that have experienced medical situations that require full time attention. I am not a nurse. I can assist with keeping company, and basic things but no cleaning up the person or moving them if immobilized. I have experienced terminally ill family members and can assist with basic care as well. I do not do any household services.

Eden $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am an LA transplant from the Washington, DC area. I have years of experience working with children of busy corporate and government employees during the summers when school is out. I'm a big kid myself--I love video games and outdoor activities! I am a former cheerleader and gymnast and love playing sports with little ones. One of my first jobs was at a sports complex where I taught children from 18 months-5 years old motor skills playing soccer! Working with children is a joy for me. I also have lots of experience with cats, bigger dogs, and turtles! (Fun fact: I grew up with a turtle that is now 25 years old) I am open to the opportunity to care for alternative pets as well.

"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!"
