Gigi $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! I’m Gigi and I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting since high school and worked at a daycare throughout college, giving me experience caring for children of all ages with most of my time being spent with toddlers! I’m also a dog owner to a boxer and a bulldog/pit mix, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets. I’m responsible, patient, and reliable, and am happy to help with activities, homework, meals, daily routines, bedtime, and household tasks. Heads up- I do work full time so my availability is early mornings during the week, late nights, and free all weekends! Excited to work with you and your family! :)

Maria Olivia $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I bring over 7 years of healthcare experience, including my background as a NICU nurse in the Philippines and as a Medical Virtual Assistant. My experience has allowed me to care for newborns, children, adults, and seniors, giving me a strong understanding of the importance of safety, patience, compassion, and dependable care. I’m happy to assist families with childcare, senior care, companionship, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and everyday activities. I’m responsible, organized, attentive, and always mindful of each person’s individual needs and comfort. My healthcare background has taught me how to remain calm and prepared in different situations while providing care with kindness and respect. I understand that inviting someone into your home is a big decision, and my goal is to give families peace of mind knowing their loved ones are in caring and capable hands. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your family and how I can help make your day a little easier!

Lizette $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Winnetka, CA

I'm a nurturing and experienced caregiver-and a mother with over 16 years of experience as a nanny, after-school playground worker, site coordinator, volunteer, and teacher's aide. My background has given me a deep understanding of child development and early education. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development from California State University, Northridge, in 2013, and I'm passionate about creating a safe, fun, and enriching environment where children can learn, explore, and grow. I love incorporating outdoor play, creativity, and hands-on learning into daily activities. As both a parent and a dedicated caregiver, I understand the importance of fostering a nurturing and engaging space for little ones. I'm excited to connect with a family looking for a thoughtful, experienced, and compassionate nanny. Let's work together to create a supportive and stimulating environment for your child!

"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!"
