Hi there! I'm Lily. I'm 29 and was born and raised here in Los Angeles. I graduated from Barnard College in 2019 with a BA in American Studies and Film Studies. While in college, I was a sitter for the Barnard Babysitting Agency and for my work study, was an assistant teacher at Tompkins Hall Nursery. From the agency, I gained experience with all age groups ranging from two months to sixteen years old. Most of my jobs were usually taking care of at least two children at a time. At Tompkins, I mainly worked in the infant and toddler rooms where I played with the children, prepared bottles and meals, changed diapers, and cleaned the classrooms. I also spent some time helping out in the preschool and two's rooms. Right after undergrad I worked at We Rock the Spectrum for a few months (then the pandemic hit), which was a blast. After I finishing my MFA in Game Design at Laguna College of Art and Design in 2021, I spent a couple of years traveling around Europe and spent a lot of my time back in the states in Montana. At the end of 2023 I decided to start babysitting again. However, most of my kids have transitioned into preschool so I am now open to working with some new families. Additionally, I spent four weeks this summer working with kids ages 7-13 at UCLA's Bruins on Broadway camp which was a lot of fun! I am currently taking classes as a post-bacc student at the University of Montana with the hope of applying to medical school in 2026. Some random facts about me: I have two younger sisters (twins), four cats, and two dogs. I used to ride horses, play soccer, and cheer. And I love history, theater, and reading!

Hello, my name is Nicole! I’m 26 years old and originally from Poland. I’m currently living in Los Angeles, Encino and have several years of childcare experience, including working as an Au Pair (live in nanny) where I cared for children of different ages and supported busy families in their everyday routines. I’m CPR certified and have experience with kids from ages 2 to 15. Over time, I’ve learned how to find that sweet spot between fun and structure whether we’re doing crafts, playing outside, helping with homework or just winding down after a busy day. I always want kids to feel safe, comfortable, and free to be themselves, and for you to feel relaxed knowing they’re in good hands. In my free time, I’m very active. I enjoy sports and going to the gym, which helps me stay energetic. I love reading books and cooking, and I often share my passion for learning and healthy meals with the little ones I care for. I am a reliable and a safe driver so transportation and errands are never a problem. I’m responsible, caring, punctual and always ready to create a fun and positive environment for children! I’m more than happy to chat and answer any questions over a phone call, feel free to reach out anytime!

Hello there, I'm Elis! I am a caregiver specialized in early childhood development. I've been working with kids all ages for over 8 years now. In Brazil, where I’m from, I’ve worked as a teacher and manager of an English school for two years and a half, before moving to US, in this past experience, I've had the chance to learn about pedagogy, early childhood learning and educational activities with focus on learning while having fun. I have taken neuroscience courses mostly as a hobby, but I’m very passionate about mental health, and having in mind the importance of a healthy childhood, I do my best to always lead with kindness and empathy, while dealing with kids. I love singing, act, arts, crafts, and I consider myself a very active and creative person. I'm very patient and able to adapt to different types of schedules, kids tend to adapt really well with me. I'm very committed to my job and consider punctuality something essential, even though I can be flexible and I'm always open to suggestions of how to improve my services. I believe that everything can be easily solved with communication, respect and kindness, as we are a team, working together with the goal of providing the best possible care for your little one. I'm looking forward to hear from you, let me know if you have any specific questions. Thank you! (FYI: Covid vaccinated)

Hi, I’m Izzy! I recently moved to LA from Northern California, where I was born and raised. I’m an actor who loves working with kids and bringing creativity, patience, and care into everything I do. I graduated from UC Berkeley in Spring 2024 with a degree in Theater and Performance Studies and a minor in Dance, which really shows up in how I connect with kids through movement, imagination, and play. Over the years, I’ve worked with numerous families, caring for children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers. I also spent several summers working at my former preschool during high school, which gave me early hands-on experience in a nurturing and structured environment. I’ve often helped with pet care too, including walking dogs, feeding pets, and keeping them happy and safe while families are out or busy. I have a background check, I’m CPR certified, and I’m currently in the process of getting my substitute teaching license. I genuinely love spending time with kids. Whether we’re dancing, dressing up, coloring, reading stories, going on walks, running errands, or just using our imaginations—I always aim to make our time together fun and meaningful. I’m also great at helping with schoolwork and love creating a calm, safe space where kids feel encouraged to be themselves. I can’t wait to get to know your family and spend time with your amazing kid(s)!

“Izzy is both professional and super fun with our kids. She is communicative, energetic and fun-loving. We feel very lucky that she is working with our family. She bonded with our kids quickly and they are excited to see her. And she is respectful of our way of being. Izzy is a gem. ”

"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!"
