Hello, my name is Kathy. I am a proud mother of four adult children and have extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I am patient, honest, and highly organized, with a genuine love for working with kids. I offer attentive childcare, light cooking, help with organization, and can run errands as needed. In addition to raising my own children, I regularly babysit for friends and family, which has further strengthened my skills in nurturing and managing children in a variety of settings. I would be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to discuss your needs and see if we are a good fit. References are available upon request. Thank you!

Hi! My name is Ally 😊 I recently graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a degree in Psychology, and I bring over a year and a half of full-time experience as an Assistant Daycare Teacher. That role strengthened my skills in child development, behavior guidance, structured learning, and creating safe, engaging environments for children of all ages. Prior to that, I worked as a tutor, babysitter, and provided private youth soccer training, giving me a well-rounded background in both academic and active enrichment. I currently hold a Level 3 Early Childhood Professional Credential and am certified in First Aid, CPR, and AED. Safety is always my top priority, but I also love creating fun, educational, and fulfilling experiences that help kids feel confident and supported. Outside of childcare, I love staying active, being outdoors, and being around family and friends. I am also currently pursuing my certification in personal training, nutrition, and women's health and fitness! I look forward to connecting with families and becoming someone your children feel excited to see!

Booked by 1 family in Woodland Hills, CA

Hello, my name is Nicole! I’m 25 years old and originally from Poland. I’m currently living in Los Angeles, Encino and have several years of childcare experience, including working as an Au Pair (live in nanny) where I cared for children of different ages and supported busy families in their everyday routines. I’m CPR certified and have experience with kids from ages 2 to 15. Over time, I’ve learned how to find that sweet spot between fun and structure whether we’re doing crafts, playing outside, helping with homework or just winding down after a busy day. I always want kids to feel safe, comfortable, and free to be themselves, and for you to feel relaxed knowing they’re in good hands. In my free time, I’m very active. I enjoy sports and going to the gym, which helps me stay energetic. I love reading books and cooking, and I often share my passion for learning and healthy meals with the little ones I care for. I am a reliable and a safe driver so transportation and errands are never a problem. I’m responsible, caring, punctual and always ready to create a fun and positive environment for children! I’m more than happy to chat and answer any questions over a phone call, feel free to reach out anytime!

Kids had fun. Professional and reliable.
