Hi there! I'm a former preschool teacher preparing to apply for nursing school. My experience in childcare started with eight years of working alongside my mom, who owns an at-home daycare, helping to look after both infants and toddlers throughout the workday. I adore working with kids and have been blessed to have been able to help care for such wonderful children in numerous settings for the past few years.

Amaris 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Westlake Village, CA

Hello! My name is Amaris. I’m a 19-year-old college student who is First Aid, CPR, and AED certified for infants, children, and adults. I have years of hands-on experience caring for kids of all ages and truly love what I do. I currently work at an elementary school, where I help care for a group of about 20–23 children ages 5–7 alongside another staff member. In this role, I’ve learned how to manage and connect with many children at once, adapting to different personalities and learning styles. I enjoy keeping them engaged through play, learning activities, and positive interactions that help them grow and feel supported. My childcare experience started at age 13, helping care for my younger cousins. Since then, I’ve looked after children from infancy up to around age 12, handling everything from diaper changes and meals to bedtime routines and playtime. I also love helping kids learn through everyday moments — whether it’s reading, practicing letters and numbers, or encouraging creativity and curiosity. Beyond babysitting, I’ve helped at children’s parties, keeping kids safe and entertained, and I always make sure every child feels comfortable and cared for. Families describe me as patient, responsible, and dependable — and I take pride in leaving a positive impression everywhere I go. If you’re looking for someone experienced, caring, and reliable, I’d love the chance to support your family!

Kathleen $20 per hour for 1 child

I truly love kids and have been a nanny for over 3 years. I've cared for children from ages 10 months to 7years. Toddlers are my jam, as I am patient and great a redirection. My strong points are that I respect the parents I work with and always honor their parenting style, and I love to give children space to explore and learn, but stay close enough to keep them safe, which is my number one priority.

"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!"
