Gwendolyn 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Studio City, CA

Hey there! My name is Gwendolyn, and I have over 15 years of babysitting experience. I have cared for children of all ages, including working as a summer nanny and supporting children on the spectrum. I especially enjoy working with creative and imaginative kids, and I love encouraging fun activities, crafts, and play. In addition to childcare, I regularly care for pets and have experience with senior dogs and cats, including administering medication. I am also available to assist as a household helper-whether that’s light cooking, cleaning, running errands, or helping with day-to-day tasks. And a bit about me: I love all things vintage fashion, Disney, and American Girl dolls. I’m really into history, storytelling, and creative hobbies, which is probably why I get along so well with imaginative kids. I’m friendly, reliable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know and build ongoing relationships with the families I work with.

“Gwen was so great. When I asked my 5 year old if he liked her he said “I love her” 🥰 Will definitely be hiring her again!”

Booked by 4 families in Studio City, CA

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!

“Janie was an excellent sitter for our two young children (4 and 6). She is warm and calm, listens carefully and responds thoughtfully to our children. She provides constructive guidance to them, helps them stay organized, encourages them to use words to talk out their disputes, and makes them feel safe. She was always on time, and proactive in planning. She helped with school pick-up and prepped dinner and fed our children on some evenings. I would definitely hire Janie again, and recommend her highly for your family.”

Isabella $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Isabella. I have extensive experience working with children of different ages, including working as a preschool teacher. I studied Early Childhood Development at Santa Monica College and have additional training in Child Development and care. I'm responsible, attentive, and respectful with children. I believe each child has their own personality, needs, and way of communicating, and I pay attention to that when caring for them. In my free time I enjoy reading, spending time in nature, baking, meditating, and being around the people I love. I'm fluent in English and Portuguese and highly proficient in Spanish.

"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!"
