Alyssa $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Alyssa, an experienced elementary school teacher and longtime childcare provider. I absolutely love working with children and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for! I have several years of professional experience working with children in elementary school settings, along with extensive babysitting experience. As a teacher, I’m especially comfortable with routines, homework help, reading practice, and keeping kids engaged without relying on screens. I’m happy to help with everything from after-school care and date nights to weekend babysitting, homework support, playtime, meals, and bedtime routines. I’m responsible, patient, energetic, and dependable, and I always make an effort to learn each family’s routines and preferences. I’d love to get to know your family and be someone you feel comfortable trusting with your children!

Pearl $22 per hour for 1 child

I am a mother of two grown, wonderful boys. I currently work full time as an ultrasound technician and work with pediatric patients. I feel my nurturing, caring personality is a great asset for a family seeking a sitter. I am up to date on my BLS/CPR certification. I am available evenings after work about 6:00pm M-F. And available most weekends (for those dates nights)

Sophia $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in West Hollywood, CA

Hi! I’m Sophia 🌿 I have twenty years of experience working with children in a variety of settings—supporting kids on the autism spectrum (ages 2–18), working as a summer camp counselor teaching kayaking, and spending summers working at a beach camp in Santa Monica with kids ages 3–13. As well as an away camp working with kids of all ages for a summer when I was 18. I’ve also assisted in a Montessori classroom for ages 3–6 and have two sweet nephews (Ray Ray, 12, and Theo, 8) whom I adore and have helped care for regularly. I have been babysitting for different families since I was 12 years old. I studied psychology at the University of Colorado Boulder, where I developed a deep love for the outdoors. Whether I’m hiking, biking, or surfing, being in nature is a big part of my life. I love working with children because it brings out my playful and nurturing side. I’m known for being calm, kind, and grounded, and I bring a lot of presence and care into the spaces I hold with kids. Friends and colleagues often describe me as genuine, patient, and full of heart. Fun facts about me: I love swing dancing, singing circles, and playing the ukulele. I’m also a certified Reiki Master and integrative health coach and run a coaching business focused on healing and personal growth. I bring emotional attunement, nervous system regulation and loving presence into my childcare. I’m currently looking for a summer position and am available until mid-September. Looking forward to connecting with you and your family!

"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!"
