Hi! My name is Tranell. I am caring, reliable, detail oriented, patient loving person, who overall enjoys helping. I recently graduated MRI school. I understand routines, patience, and creating a safe, calm environment for children. I have hands-on experience supporting autistic children, which has taught me the importance of consistency, understanding, and individualized care. I’m very detail-oriented, patient, and compassionate, and I always prioritize safety and clear communication. I’m comfortable with pets. I am also very knowledgeable, wise and helpful in many areas. I would love to be a help to you, as a support system would. I genuinely love being a woman families can rely on. I believe children thrive when they are surrounded by a strong, caring village, and parents do too. I understand how demanding parenthood can be, and I’m passionate about helping create smoother days and a supportive environment for the entire family. I’d love to support your family with reliable, attentive care you can feel confident about.

Daniella $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a compassionate, dependable caregiver with extensive experience working with children from infancy through adolescence. My background includes providing care and support to children in a variety of settings, including vulnerable and underserved populations, where patience, adaptability, and strong relationship-building skills are essential. I am passionate about helping children feel safe, supported, and engaged. I enjoy creating fun, enriching experiences through performing arts, imaginative play, crafts, sports, and other physical activities that promote confidence and creativity. I also have experience working with adolescence on the autism spectrum. Whether caring for an infant, keeping up with an energetic toddler, or connecting with a teenager, I tailor my approach to meet each child’s unique needs and interests. Families can count on me to provide attentive supervision, encourage positive behavior, and maintain a nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I am experienced with daily routines, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and age-appropriate activities that foster both emotional well-being and personal development. Additionally, I have extensive experience in the performing arts, including acting, singing, and dance. In my free time, I enjoy decorating, arts and crafts, and spending time with my family and friends. Through American Red Cross, I am certified in both Pediatric (Child and Baby) First Aid / CPR / AED, and Babysitting. My goal is to provide parents with peace of mind while ensuring their children feel cared for, respected, and encouraged to be their best selves.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Sun Valley, CA

I’ve been caring for children, homes, and families for over 15 years. I started babysitting at age 15 and have continued working with kids of all ages ever since. Now at 30, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, experience, and maturity to every family I work with. I graduated from Brown University, where I was a Division I lacrosse player and captain of the team my senior year. That experience shaped my leadership, discipline, and ability to stay calm and organized in fast-paced environments—qualities I bring into caregiving every day. Professionally, I’m a business owner, which speaks to my reliability, time management, and strong communication skills. Families trust me not only with their children, but also with their homes. I’ve frequently been hired to house sit while families travel, managing everything from daily upkeep to pet care and ensuring everything runs smoothly while they’re away. I have extensive experience tutoring middle and high school students, so I’m very comfortable helping with homework, keeping kids engaged, and supporting their academic growth. I also regularly care for my nephew, which has deepened my ability to connect with children in a patient, attentive, and genuinely caring way. Overall, I’m known for being dependable, trustworthy, and easy to work with. I bring a positive, grounded energy and take pride in creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for both kids and families.

Rosie was an excellent babysitter, I knew my baby was safe and so happy under her care and my dog absolutely loved her!
