Hello, my name is Autumn and I've recently returned to my hometown of Los Angeles. I'm very excited to reconnect with my roots and plant myself into a new life here. Since I was a valley girl, I've been caring for others. Whether it was my younger siblings (I come from a family of 7 kids) or the sweet family of 6 down the street, I started babysitting at the responsible age of 11! I'm still in touch with this family, celebrating milestones together almost annually. Years later I chose to be an au-pair in Hamburg, Germany to an infant and her 3 year old sister Luisa who filled my days with curiosity and wonder. We had so much fun together playing dress up, exploring outdoors and reading and singing together. Not long after returning to the states, I lived with a professional family of Berkeley, nannying for their 2 daughters aged 7 and 9. With both families I tutored, cooked, played games, crafted, offered transportation, championed, provided recreational activities and sang lullabies. In-between these lines of work, I was also once a clown and balloon maker. ;) I have assisted elders with tender care, errands, out of state relocation and aquatic exercise! I recently became a lifeguard and certified swim instructor to adults and children between 9 months and 12 years old. It was so heartwarming to watch kids go from being afraid of water, to loving jumping in and splashing around. I am an extremely clean and organized person, a self-taught home chef, attended neurodivergent training and believe that human connection should always come first. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies which provided a strong block of courses in psychology, further educating me on people. I drive an all electric vehicle and have a clean driving history. I am the sole caretaker of 2 sweet cats but have also looked after friend's dogs in the past. As a child I had a pet mouse, snake, parakeet and hamster so I'm comfortable with all types! Being a caregiver requires sincere intuition and heart. One has to navigate personal needs while also being present of mind to consider safety, technicalities and timelines. I pay close attention to detail, am excellent at anticipating needs and am a certified masseuse. Collectively, I possess the personal qualities, the particular skillset and the creative talents to care for animals, homes and humans of all ages. Did I mention I'm a big fan of Bluey? Who isn't I guess. I look forward to connecting to see if we're a match!
“Autumn was excellent! She cared for my 90 y.o. Dad with many needs and was warm, attentive, and very communicative. We have already asked to work with her regularly as she is a gem.”
Hi - My name is Jasmine and I'm currently a junior at UCLA. I am offering child care services. I have experience in taking care of kids, I used to be a summer camp counselor for kids ages 7-12.
I'm only looking for occasional jobs because I have kids myself! Available on short notice! I was born in Russia, then moved to Finland at a young age . I have traveled a lot and lived in many countries. I speak 3 languages: English, Russian and Finnish. Russian is my native language. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in International Sales and Marketing from Haaga-Helia University in Finland. I love babysitting, teaching children something new and exploring the world with them. P.S. Please call me Kate :)
I’m so happy to be a nanny! I’ve had the pleasure of caring for infants, toddlers, and older kids. My job involved supporting families with their children’s needs, such as feeding, helping them learn, and making sure they had fun with walks to the park or library, or even driving them to and from school. I speak both English and Spanish, and I’m CPR certified with a clean driving record. I have my own transportation with a clean driving record; else, I’m a non-smoker. I’m also quite flexible with my schedule and can work some weekends. Sorry I don’t have too many reviews, but I’ve been working with the same families for a while.
“Ana was great and flexible with my changing schedule. She was kind and communicative and went above and beyond to help out ”

"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!"
