Lesly $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Lesly, I have a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Cal State LA. I have over three years of hands-on experience working one-on-one with children of all ages in school and home settings. My work has focused on supporting children’s developmental, emotional, and academic needs and providing consistent care. Before that, I worked as a babysitter while attending college, further deepening my understanding of child development and family dynamics. Growing up, I was also the primary caregiver for my younger siblings, which taught me early on the importance of responsibility, patience, and empathy.

Sabrina 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hihii! I’m Sabrina, I graduated from UCLA and now work full-time at the university. I’ve always been someone who takes initiative and works hard, which definitely shows in the way I care for kids. I helped raise my younger brother and have been a big part of my 7 year old nephew’s life since he was born. Coming from a big family, I’ve always had a caregiving role. I have five siblings, so I know how to manage different needs and personalities at once. I also know how to cook and would often prepare meals for everyone, which taught me how to stay organized and patient, especially during busy moments. While I was in college, I worked as a tutor and also spent time as a teacher assistant in a sixth-grade classroom, helping students with both schoolwork and classroom routines. I’m always happy to help with homework or create learning moments during play. Outside of work, I love being outdoors, going on walks, and spending time in green spaces. I’m also a big fan of cafes, matcha, cute characters (sanrio & rilakkuma), and exploring new spots around the city. I bring that same calm and creative energy when babysitting, and I always try to keep kids engaged with fun activities and time outside. I’m dependable, caring, and genuinely love spending time with kids. If you’re looking for someone who’s thoughtful, hands-on, and experienced, I’d love to help out.

Sabrina has been such a huge part of our lives. She’s been watching my son since he was 4 and now he’s 9 and he still gets so excited whenever he finds out she’s coming over. That alone says so much about the kind of person she is. They spend their time dancing, drawing, playing games, laughing, and she always makes sure he’s fed and happy. She treats him with so much love, patience and care. It gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m away. She also handles bedtime and morning routines like a pro and keeps me updated if anything comes up. As a mom there’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is safe, loved, and happy. We absolutely adore her and I can’t recommend her enough!

Roxanna 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a mother of two children of my own, and have been caring for children for over 30 years. I have worked with different families over those years in which I’ve started with babies until they’re in high school. I love to do fun activities, museums, sports games with the children. I love to listen to music and read books.

Roxanna has worked with my family for over 10 years on and off. She was our full time nanny for my son from 6 months to 10yo. Roxanna is exceptional and a seasoned nanny. When we were new to LA, she gave me so much information and took the kids to all the best activities and places. She evolved with our family as the kids grew. She is absolutely wonderful with babies but equally great with school aged kids. She shuttled them to activities, feed them, prepped for school and homework. She was such an incredible asset to the family. She also is genuinely such a positive and kind spirit. She loves children and is truly a professional in childcare. Her next family will be lucky to have her.

Booked by 1 family in Sun Valley, CA

I’m a caring, reliable caregiver with experience working with children of all ages, and I also bring the perspective of being a parent to an infant. I hold a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree, which has shaped my thoughtful, safety-focused approach to caregiving. I’m comfortable with everything from newborn care to engaging older kids in play, and I always aim to create a calm, nurturing environment while following each family’s routines. I treat every child with patience, attentiveness, and the same care I give my own.

Alexis $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my names Alexis Navarro I am a 19 year old (20 in October) college student majoring in business administration. I love kids and having 8 siblings, 7 of them being younger, it has only helped me to love them more. Right now I am mainly looking for flexible work such as one or 2 time jobs as I do have another job. I hope you will give me a chance to look after your precious little ones (little humans and even pets!) if the dates are more than a week in advance I can work better with time!
