I’m a 30-year old babysitter/nanny looking for new families to work with in the LA area. Over the last 10 years I have worked as a childcare provider in different capacities: babysitter, after-school nanny, elementary school tutor, pre-k daycare assistant, camp counselor, etc. Happy to provide references and/or put you directly in touch with my past families to hear about their experience.

“Maddy was very nice, professional and flexible. I look forward to working with her again. ”

Hello! My name is Cassandra and I'm 32 years old. I graduated from San Francisco State University in 2016, with a major in Technical and Professional Writing. I'm originally from LA and I moved back once I graduated. I currently work in Finance as an EA. I've been working with kids since I was 15 years old. I've worked with kids mostly between the ages of 2 and 8. I'm extremely patient with kids and I definitely know how to keep them busy. I have some experience with toddlers but not a ton. I am a fast learner though. : )

“Cassandra was amazing with our kids. We would definitely like to work with Cassandra again.”

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m currently a law student at USC. I’m excited to spend my summer helping families with dependable, attentive, and engaging childcare. I’ve always loved working with children and have experience through tutoring, as well as growing up as 1 of 10 kids with many nieces and nephews. Being part of a big family has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Whether that means helping with homework, reading stories, getting creative with arts and crafts, exploring at the park, or doing mini science experiments, I love finding activities that keep children engaged and excited to learn. I’m responsible, organized, patient, and comfortable balancing busy schedules and high levels of responsibility. I’m happy to help wherever needed, whether that’s preparing simple meals, keeping routines on track, or lending an extra set of hands to make your family’s day run more smoothly. I also understand how important trust and communication are when it comes to childcare, and I strive to make both parents and children feel supported and at ease. I’m also very comfortable around pets! As the proud owner of a Saint Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog, I have plenty of experience caring for large dogs and would be happy to help in pet-friendly households (including homes with cats!). I would love the opportunity to connect with your family this summer and provide a caring, reliable presence for your children!

“Kayla is absolutely wonderful! She is easygoing and thoughtful, and my son loved his time with her. ”

I’m a very empathetic, patient, and playful person who truly enjoys spending time with children. I love teaching, creating activities, and helping them learn and grow. I have 7 years of babysitting experience with kids from 1 month old to 16 years old, and I’ve also taught ballet and Spanish. I hold a Degree in Social Communication and another in Acting, and I’m certified in First Aid and CPR by the Red Cross. I lead a healthy, active lifestyle and value nature, creativity, gratitude, and keeping a positive environment for kids. I love babysitting because children are naturally imaginative, curious, and full of joy, I love being part of that.

"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!"
