Booked by 1 family in Venice, CA

I have my own cats, and I grew up with dogs my entire life. I also have had many caretaking jobs for children, mostly around the elementary and middle school age. I also have 5+ years of tutoring and making sure that young children are excelling in whatever they are doing at school. I am kind hearted, caring and love to be around animals.

“The best, very caring cat sitter! Attentive and did great with my kitties.”

Yoselin $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Yoselin! I started babysitting at 15 and working as a nanny at 18, with experience caring for children from 6 months through their teenage years. I currently work as a house manager and family assistant and am looking to pick up occasional evening and weekend babysitting. I’m patient, dependable, and easygoing. I’m comfortable preparing meals, spending time playing with the kids, and following their evening and bedtime routines. I also speak Spanish and am comfortable with pets. I finish my workday in Culver City and can start around 6 p.m. in nearby areas, depending on location. I’m also open to weekend bookings. Feel free to reach out to see if we’d be a good fit!

Booked by 6 families in Venice, CA

As a child, some of my fondest memories were with a fun and caring babysitter. I want to provide this similar positive experience for the next generation! Having fun is always a priority, and safety is always number one in my book. I recently obtained my bachelor's in psychology at UCSB with a focus in child development and neurodiversity, and am excited to begin my master's in social welfare at UCLA in fall 2026. I am passionate about positive youth development, and in my recent professional roles, I have provided ABA support to neurodiverse kids ages 3-16, infant development therapy for kids ages 0-3, and served as a case manager at a 24hr youth shelter for 12-17 year olds. Personally, I am an easily excited individual who enjoys the outdoors, animals, the beach, and learning new 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!"
