Melinda $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Sun Valley, CA

Safety is ALWAYS my first priority. My passion lies in providing dependable support to families and your loved ones. I've had the privilege of working with infants to seniors over the past years. I hold a college degree and maintain a current CPR/First Aid certification. Additionally, I am resourceful, creative and calm under pressure, with the ability to think on my feet when challenges arise. A good sense of humor is an approach I use to help navigate various situations with ease. I’m more than happy to help with light housekeeping, driving children to and from school, activities, etc. (I have a safe SUV that holds 2 car seats easily). I'm also very flexible with yours/my schedule. I work hard and always have a smile on my face 😊

Amrawit $20 per hour for 1 child

I have a bachelor’s degree in International Affairs, and I’ve been babysitting for the past 3 years. I currently babysit and have experience caring for children of different ages, and I really enjoy keeping them engaged through activities, walks, games, and just having fun together. I love caregiving because I genuinely enjoy being around kids and being someone they can feel comfortable and safe with. A little something about me: I’m a big soccer fan, love being outdoors, and I’m always up for a fun activity or adventure!

Hulya $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hulya, and I am a caring, responsible, and dependable person who enjoys spending time with children. I am a former dentist, which has given me strong skills in patience, communication, attention to detail, and maintaining a safe and healthy environment. Throughout my life, I have had experience caring for children, starting with my younger brother. I helped take care of him when he was a baby and continued to support and look after him as he grew older. This experience taught me the importance of responsibility, empathy, and creating a nurturing atmosphere. Since moving to the United States, I have also been doing occasional babysitting for families in my community. Through these experiences, I have cared for children of different ages, helping with playtime, meals, homework, bedtime routines, and ensuring they feel comfortable and secure while their parents are away. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to provide attentive, patient, and individualized care. My goal is to create a positive, safe, and engaging environment where children can have fun, learn, and feel supported. I would be honored to help your family and provide reliable childcare you can trust.

Xitlali $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Xitlali, and I’m a current student at USC studying neuroscience. I’ve always enjoyed working with children and hope to continue working with kids in my future career. I have experience caring for children ages 3–9 through both babysitting and tutoring. I’m patient, attentive, and love creating a fun and comfortable environment where kids can learn, play, and be themselves. Outside of school and babysitting, I enjoy knitting, crocheting, cooking, and reading. I also absolutely love animals and would be happy to help care for pets as part of my time with your family! I’m excited to provide dependable, caring support for your little ones. :)

Carly $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Carly, and I’m an 18-year-old high school senior graduating in 2026. I’m looking to gain more babysitting experience as I prepare to pursue a nanny career this summer. I’ve been around children my entire life. I come from a big family and helped care for my younger cousins from a young age. I also helped care for my best friend Ned for four years, which taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness early on. Growing up in after-school programs further helped me learn how to interact with children of all ages, play fairly, and understand right from wrong. Since age 16, I’ve worked in restaurants, including Shake Shack and currently as a Starbucks barista. These roles strengthened my communication skills, punctuality, honesty, and cleanliness. I interact with children daily and genuinely enjoy helping them. Kids naturally gravitate toward me, and I love supporting families. I’m hardworking, reliable, and ready to adapt to your family’s needs. While I’m not currently CPR/First Aid certified, I have hands-on experience and am happy to get certified if required. Thank you for your time and consideration!

"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!"
