$22 per hour for 1 child

Aside from having taken care of my four daughters and nieces over the years, I most recently helped my daughter adjust back to her work routine and cared for my granddaughter on a regular basis, both day and nights. I am great with children and see each as my own, and am open to rules set by the parents and abide by them. I have pets at home, so caring for pets is nothing new to me, as well as seniors. I also take care of all of our household chores, so that's also something I can do if requested.

Wonderful experience, she’s cared for my 15 month old and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s attentive, and my daughter adores her. My daughter is a picky eater, so its been tough, but her patience has been key. She’s helped with chores around the house too.

$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Bianca. I am 23 years old from the SFV area. I’ve been around kids my whole life. Starting since elementary school in 5th grade I was a “buddy” for the younger students because of my love and attention for children. I’ve worked with the City of LA for a couple of years now working at Canoga Park Youth Art Center for kids as well as Reseda Park recreation in the past as a CIT for the summer camp. I occasionally baby sit family members/friends kids. I love spending time the future generation and kids tend to warm up to me quickly. I’m responsible, have a 4 seater car and valid CA DL. I also love animals like of all kinds I have 3 of my own 2 dogs and a cat. I also love to clean and organize.

Thaliyah Van Nuys
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am Thaliyah! I hold a background in working with children, years of responsibility as the oldest sibling in my family, and hands-on experience caring for both homes and pets. As a professional dance instructor, I’ve worked closely with children ages 4 and up, helping them grow not only in their technique but also in confidence, creativity, and discipline. I provide genuine care, can cook meals, provide transportation services and maintain a kept household. In addition to my work with children, families often rely on me for extended stays, knowing their homes, routines, and furry family members will be treated with the same attention and love I’d give my own. Whether it’s keeping up with feeding schedules, administering light medication, or simply offering companionship, I take pride in creating a peaceful and safe environment while families are away. I would love the opportunity to speak further and learn more about how I can support your family’s needs. Thank you for your time and consideration—I look forward to connecting soon.

Booked by 1 family in Sylmar, CA

I have years of experience babysitting kids, from babies through 12 years old, and I raised two puppies until their old age, so I’m comfortable with dogs. I feel my greatest strengths are love for children, being trustworthy, reliable, and safety-minded, which includes CPR training. I can also do overnight babysitting or housesitting.

"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!"
