Elaina $28 per hour for 1 child

With over 15 years of experience in pet care, I bring reliability, compassion, and genuine love for animals to every visit. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities - offering everything from daily walks and playtime to overnight sitting and special care for senior pets. My background includes working with busy professionals and families who trust me to keep their pets happy, healthy, and safe while they’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, extra cuddles, or maintaining routines, I treat every pet like my own - ensuring peace of mind and wagging tails every time.

Hi! I’m Alyssa and I have been caring for children and pets since my early teenage years, continuing throughout my 20’s. I’m offering child care, cat care, and small dog care! My child care has included watching toddlers and kids, preparing basic meals, light cleaning, and driving to and from local destinations. My pet care has included watching animals for hours or days at a time, feeding routines, and I have owned cats and dogs my entire life! I can include all of the above in my care services, and can run errands if necessary.

Hi! My name is Sara, I’m 26 years old. My major is in stem and I graduated cum laude from San Francisco State University. I recently completed the teaching credential program at Cal State LA. I am currently applying to teach high school science (biology/anatomy/earth and space) for next school year. That being said my availability for summer is open! (^: I have work experience in mentoring/tutoring services, summer camp counseling, retail, medical administration at Cedars Sinai, and substitute teaching. Although I do not have formal training caregiving, I have had plenty of experience caregiving for younger family members as well as watching over pets for extended periods of time. I am a kind and caring person and I get along with children and pets very easily. I look forward to working with you! (^:

"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!"
