Hi, my name is Vanessa, and I look forward to meeting you! I recently graduated from UCLA and currently work part-time on weekends. I am interested in providing baby and childcare services, as well as occasional pet care. I have been babysitting since my teenage years. My knowledge of baby care is still fresh, especially since my baby niece is turning two. While it may seem easy, having an extra hand is always helpful. I possess a driver's license and own a car, which has allowed me to commute from residential areas to highways. I am comfortable with pickups and drop-offs, and I'm also okay with running quick, easy errands. NOTE: I am also open to pet and house-sitting
Hi, my names Alexis Navarro I am a 19 year old (20 in October) college student majoring in business administration. I love kids and having 8 siblings, 7 of them being younger, it has only helped me to love them more. Right now I am mainly looking for flexible work such as one or 2 time jobs as I do have another job. I hope you will give me a chance to look after your precious little ones (little humans and even pets!) if the dates are more than a week in advance I can work better with time!
I have a lot of valuable experience, both with raising 3 children, teaching preschool, babysitting, and helping my 104 year old grandma with technology!
“Michelle (or Mimi as my toddler calls her) is the best. She’s been watching my very active son once a week for over a year, and I cannot emphasize how helpful she is. She’s patient, she focuses all of her attention on him and she makes playing fun. My son is absolutely exhausted after Michelle’s visits. He wakes up some mornings asking to “play date with Mimi” or will sing songs that she has taught him. Now that I have an infant too, she watches both boys with ease. Caretaking is her speciality. She’s very gentle and kind. Michelle is punctual, respectful and dependable. Whenever she comes over, I know I don’t have to worry about anything, she’s got in under control. I can go to work or run errands without hesitation.”
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 - i am currently a student at santa monica college and i am offering child care as well as pet care services. I have always enjoyed babysitting and watching children. I love how their creative minds work and think. I find children to be an important part of society. Through every mess and mistake , i will be patient and gentle with them. Children respond well with kindness and being well understood. I would watch two children from time to time and they were four and seven. They enjoyed how i had interacted with them as i was constantly playing with them whether it was barbie or if we were mermaids in the ocean. When you are a child your mind will believe anything and i want to help be the magic in your childs life. I am a very sweet and kind individual who cares for all and is very empathetic I have had two pugs so i have some experience with caring with smaller dogs but larger dogs i do not have experience. I also am allergic to cats

"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!"
