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!
Hi! I’m a one time, occasional, date night, and overnight care provider. - Experienced babysitter (4 months - 14 years) - Experienced pet sitter / walker - Up to date vaccination - Non smoker I enjoy screen-free activities with kids such as playing at the park, going on a “bug hunting” walk, reading, and crafts!
Hi! I am a responsible and caring 32-year-old with over 20 years of experience in childcare and household tidying/management. I have been babysitting since I was about 13 years old, and I was a nanny for about 5 years to four kids who were ages 2-9 when I started working for them. I love deep conversations and facts! I provide a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment, helping kids learn about and grow in the world in their own unique ways through outdoor exploration, dance, reading, crafts, museums, and imaginative play! I also feel grounded when tidying houses, doing dishes, laundry, etc. I have experience in household management that includes communication with/organizing contractors. I have also had many professional coordinator jobs that involved vendor management. I also love animals and have a lot of experience in pet care. I have a degree in psychology, including coursework in child development. I have a special place in my heart for kids who struggle managing emotions and I am experienced with helping people of all ages, especially younger humans, learn to navigate big feelings like anger and anxiety. I also have experience with neurodivergent and especially academically-gifted kids. I also have my 200-hr yoga teaching certification, am in a 300-hr yoga therapy training with a lot of nutrition knowledge. I also look forward to getting specialized training in children’s yoga and nutrition. My cpr/first aid certification expired in Jan 2026, but I am happy to renew if requested.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
