Olivia $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I am from New York but have been living in LA for almost 4 years. I have 6-7 years of experience of working with kids from teaching skiing, nannying, and regular babysitting. In the past I would play board games, paint, and anything outdoors. My full time job is as an art director so I lean on the creative side to do painting, drawing, etc with the kiddos. Hope we can connect soon!

Liz $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Liz! I have 8+ years of full-time nanny experience, as well as babysitting. I fell in love with kids when I got my first babysitting job at 18. My favorite childcare experiences have been volunteering abroad teaching children English through theater and dance. With a BFA in theater, I am highly energetic, creative, and fun going. Past nanny responsibilities include meal prep, transportation, house management, overnight care, and more. I’d love to answer any questions you have to see if we’d be a good fit!

Renn $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Renn, a caring and reliable sitter with 10+ years of experience working with children of all ages. I have worked in an elementary school setting for the past 5+ years, with children that have learning differences. Over the years, I have been asked by multiple parents of the students I work with to babysit, pet sit, and house sit and can provide amazing references. I love engaging kids in fun activities, whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor play, or reading stories. I’m also happy to help with homework or prepare simple meals. I am a very creative and active person. In my free time, I embroider by hand, make jewelry, rock climb, hike, and swim. I also love playing chess! With the school year approaching, I am ideally looking for a family who needs a little extra help. I have a reliable vehicle and am happy to facilitate rides if needed. Looking forward to meeting you and your little one(s)!
