Felicia $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a part-time teacher who enjoys supporting families by providing dependable, caring, and flexible childcare. My professional background is in fashion and sustainability, but being an auntie has given me a special love for caring for the many children in my life. I believe in creating a safe, comfortable, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel supported and parents feel confident knowing their little ones are in good hands. I currently work in the nursery at my local church, caring for children ages 1–3. For four years, I cared for a little boy from the time he was 6 months old through age 4. More recently, I have also helped care for a 2-year-old and newborn twins. I bring patience, kindness, creativity, and dependability to every family I support. I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel cared for while providing families with reliable support they can trust.

Jacqueline V 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jacqueline, but you can call me Jackie or Jax. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I consider it my backyard and love exploring its ever-changing face. I have been a mother's helper since I was 12, and at 16, I had the honor of babysitting and nannying alone. People may call me a people pleaser, but I truly enjoy being part of the village and helping people and animals, any which way. It has always been fulfilling to me. Life gets super busy, so an extra helping hand doesn't hurt anyone. I am currently at Santa Monica College pursuing a nursing degree. Thanks for taking the time to read about me, and I look forward to working with you.

Jax has been an incredible person to have around my son. She has such positive energy and is so creative with activities. I would recommend her to any friend or stranger. She is always reliable and easy to communicate with. In addition, she is always great around our dog. My son has so much fun with her and she really encourages him to be independent and try things.

"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!"
