Hi! My name is Nicole, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable college student based in the La Crescenta area. I genuinely enjoy working with kids, helping families, and creating a safe and positive environment. I’m patient, energetic, organized, and easy to communicate with, and I always try to make sure both parents and children feel comfortable and supported. Services I offer include babysitting, nannying, pet care, homework help, light housekeeping, organizing, errands, and helping around the house as needed. Child Care: I have experience caring for children of different ages and personalities, and I enjoy building fun, trusting relationships with kids while still keeping structure and safety a priority. I love doing activities like crafts, games, outdoor play, movie nights, baking, reading, and helping with homework or school projects. I’m also happy to help with routines like meals, bedtime, and keeping kids entertained in a positive way. Some of my strengths include being very patient, emotionally understanding, creative, and attentive. I can also help with tutoring/homework, basic cooking and snacks, and keeping things organized and clean while babysitting. Pet Care: I’m comfortable around a variety of pets and have experience helping care for dogs, cats, and other household pets. I can help with walking, feeding, playing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also comfortable with larger dogs and pets that shed. Household Services: In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping tasks such as laundry, tidying up, dishes, organizing, meal prep, errands, and helping keep the home running smoothly. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always willing to help where needed. I’m looking forward to connecting with families and helping out however I can!

Hihii! I’m Sabrina, I graduated from UCLA and now work full-time at the university. I’ve always been someone who takes initiative and works hard, which definitely shows in the way I care for kids. I helped raise my younger brother and have been a big part of my 7 year old nephew’s life since he was born. Coming from a big family, I’ve always had a caregiving role. I have five siblings, so I know how to manage different needs and personalities at once. I also know how to cook and would often prepare meals for everyone, which taught me how to stay organized and patient, especially during busy moments. While I was in college, I worked as a tutor and also spent time as a teacher assistant in a sixth-grade classroom, helping students with both schoolwork and classroom routines. I’m always happy to help with homework or create learning moments during play. Outside of work, I love being outdoors, going on walks, and spending time in green spaces. I’m also a big fan of cafes, matcha, cute characters (sanrio & rilakkuma), and exploring new spots around the city. I bring that same calm and creative energy when babysitting, and I always try to keep kids engaged with fun activities and time outside. I’m dependable, caring, and genuinely love spending time with kids. If you’re looking for someone who’s thoughtful, hands-on, and experienced, I’d love to help out.
“Sabrina has been such a huge part of our lives. She’s been watching my son since he was 4 and now he’s 9 and he still gets so excited whenever he finds out she’s coming over. That alone says so much about the kind of person she is. They spend their time dancing, drawing, playing games, laughing, and she always makes sure he’s fed and happy. She treats him with so much love, patience and care. It gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m away. She also handles bedtime and morning routines like a pro and keeps me updated if anything comes up. As a mom there’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is safe, loved, and happy. We absolutely adore her and I can’t recommend her enough!”
Hi! My name is Sasha, and I’m based in Silver Lake. I have years of experience working with children through babysitting, teaching, and summer camps, and I genuinely love spending time with kids and entering their world creatively and energetically. I started babysitting in high school and college, including caring for my neighbor’s daughter through late nights, school pickups/drop-offs, and soccer practices. I also regularly babysat two boys, ages 4 and 5, where we spent most of our time doing arts and crafts, building things, playing imaginative games, reading before bed, and staying active rather than relying on screen time. I also worked as an art teacher for children ages 4–14 and taught summer camps as well. During weekly classes, I often independently managed two groups of 10–12 kids at a time, balancing creativity, structure, and making sure every child felt included and engaged. A little more about me personally, I studied English Literature in college and completed all of the coursework for my Master’s degree before ultimately deciding to move to Los Angeles to pursue music full time. I’m now a musician and creative person at heart, and I think that background has made me especially patient, imaginative, and communicative with kids. I really value creativity, curiosity, and making children feel understood and encouraged. I’m also a native Spanish speaker, very active, and love cooking, art, music, reading, and spending time outdoors. I’d be happy to help with meal prep, homework, creative activities, bedtime routines, or simply creating a fun and calm environment for your child. I’m dependable, warm, playful, and genuinely enjoy building trust with both kids and parents.
