Hello! If you’re looking for someone who is fun, energetic, loves to laugh, and will make sure your child is cared for in a positive way-you’ve found the right sitter! I promise to make your child’s days filled with memories to cherish. I provide activities like board games, arts & crafts, story times, and more. I have 8+ years of experience, reliable safe transportation, and can promise you your child is in the best care when they are under my care as a sitter. Also very comfortable with pets, I have 3 cats of my own. I look forward to meeting your little!
“Courtney took care of my two children for two full weeks while I was away on vacation, and I genuinely cannot say enough good things about her. Leaving your kids for that long is never easy, but she made the entire experience completely stress-free. From day one, she was attentive, patient, and incredibly organized. She kept the kids on their routines, made sure they were engaged and happy, and handled everything with such calm confidence. I always felt informed and reassured, she communicated regularly, sent updates, and truly went above and beyond to make sure my kids felt safe, supported, and loved. When I came home, my children were not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and thriving. That says everything. Courtney is responsible, trustworthy, warm, and incredibly capable. Any family would be lucky to have her. I would 100% trust her again without hesitation, she is truly exceptional.”
As a child, some of my fondest memories were with a fun and caring babysitter. I want to provide this similar positive experience for the next generation! Having fun is always a priority, and safety is always number one in my book. I recently obtained my bachelor's in psychology at UCSB with a focus in child development and neurodiversity, and am excited to begin my master's in social welfare at UCLA in fall 2026. I am passionate about positive youth development, and in my recent professional roles, I have provided ABA support to neurodiverse kids ages 3-16, infant development therapy for kids ages 0-3, and served as a case manager at a 24hr youth shelter for 12-17 year olds. Personally, I am an easily excited individual who enjoys the outdoors, animals, the beach, and learning new things!
“Elizabeth was great, I would definitely hire her again”
My name is ElizaBess, I go by Bess. I am 20 years old, a current Registered Behavior Technician, have been sitting for family and friends for around 7 years now and I adore children. I’m very passionate about providing care to children with special needs, specifically autism. I have a pup, Daisy, who is my absolute best friend. In addition to childcare and RBT experience, I also have multiple years of experience in the customer service industry. I got my first job at 14, working at an ice cream shop so I know how to make exceptional treats. I think what makes me a great sitter is that I see the kids as just as much of a person with feelings, opinions and emotions as me. I’m not one to try to put the kids to sleep as fast as I can in order to have my own time. I genuinely enjoy spending time and learning/getting to know these kids in order to make a connection. Despite my age, I am not irresponsible or inexperienced nor am I overly strict or uptight. If you choose me as your sitter, I’m confident you’ll get pretty great reviews from your children:) I have experience in ABA and would also enjoy an opportunity to provide services similar to that.
“Very exceptional and phenomenal in her services. Treated my little kiddo like her own sibling and made him feel very special. Went over and beyond all that was expected as a care giver. Her professionalism is second to none. Definitely recommend her services. Thanks.”
Hi - My name is Jasmine and I'm currently a junior at UCLA. I am offering child care services. I have experience in taking care of kids, I used to be a summer camp counselor for kids ages 7-12.
Hey there! :)) My name is Sayuri, I’m 18 years old and currently a first-year college student. I’m a very responsible, reliable, and patient person who genuinely enjoys working with kids and helping others. I love creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment where children can feel supported, happy, and themselves. I understand how important trust is when it comes to caring for someone’s children, and I always strive to be someone both kids and parents can feel completely comfortable with. Whether it’s helping with routines, keeping kids engaged, or simply being a positive and dependable presence, I always give my full attention and care. I’m also very adaptable, calm under pressure, and committed to making sure every family feels confident and at ease with me as their sitter.
“Sayuri is wonderful: on time, flexible, kind, reliable and great with the kids. We love having Sayuri babysit for our two kids aged 2 and 5, and they love her!”

"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."
