Hi, I’m Wendy! I’m a dedicated babysitter with over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including those with ADHD and Autism. I have a strong understanding of RIE teaching methods, which help foster independence, confidence, and a nurturing environment for children to thrive. Originally from Los Angeles, I went to school for Business but my true passion has always been working with kids. I love incorporating outdoor activities, art, and cooking into my babysitting style to create engaging and fun experiences. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for every child I care for. I’m also a big dog lover, so pets are always a welcome part of the experience! I’d love to connect with your family—feel free to reach out with any questions!

I am a former elementary school science teacher and a marine scientist. I've been working with kids for 22 years: both as a teacher and as a babysitter for family (7 nieces and nephews), friends (I'm "auntie" to many more), and a professional babysitting company. I love working with kids because I am one at heart and love to discover the world at their level. I love running around playing games, doing crafts, reading books, and I am a great homework helper. When I get some free time, I love to go kayaking, hiking, and snorkeling.

Hi, lovely to meet you! I'm Andrea, but everyone calls me Andi. I moved to Los Angeles about three years ago from my hometown of West Palm Beach, FL, which is where I had returned after completing a glorious three year run of "au pair-ing" in Paris, France. Since moving to LA, I've had the absolute honor and privilege of working with so many wonderful families, some with which I'm still working after meeting during my very first week here back in 2022! Growing up, my mother was the Dean of Early Childhood Education at a high school, where she not only taught her own students to be excellent teachers but also ran her very own preschool. All of her students graduated high school with the necessary credentials to immediately begin work in childcare... Needless to say, working with kids has been a major part of my life since before I can remember. In France, I was not only responsible for the care of my host children for two different families over the course of my time there [note: in French], but I also babysat and tutored for the families' friends! Other than my Parisian childcare work, I've been regularly babysitting since I was 12 years old -- including all of the childcare I've done since moving to LA -- and I've been a classical dance teacher for children of all ages. I can provide excellent references/recommendations from these families and dance studios! Though my Bachelor's degree is in Editing, Writing, and Media, (with a double minor in Political Philosophy and Entrepreneurship), I completed a Post-Baccalaureate in Psychology at UC Berkeley Extension in 2022. I've most recently worked as a Social Media Director for a political nonprofit, and I currently am in the midst of writing my first children's book. My personal interests: I love getting back into a dance studio whenever I get a chance, playing my guitar, writing, doing yoga, and going on big walks with my two year old pug named Binky. I am happy to answer any and all questions -- let me know if you think I would be a good fit for your family. *Please message me for a more accurate measure of availability*
