Haily 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

I’m Haily, a 24 year old engineering student at USC! I am pursuing a dual degree in a Biomedical Engineering (B.S.) and Mechanical Engineering with an AI/ML specialization (M.S.) looking forward to finishing my collegiate career in December 2026. I am someone who loves fun activities like coloring, journaling, cooking, meditating and exploring nature. I have about 3 years of babysitting experience from babysitting my younger cousins in my hometown of Sacramento. I also have a younger sister who I love dearly that I grew up helping my mom taking care of! Additionally, I’ve tutoring 5th-8th grade students as a freelance tutor for the past 5 years, usually meeting these students in their home, building connections with parents, and helping them become more confident in all subjects, especially math! I’m the type of person that is intentional with everything I do and leads with a love ethic. I love working kids and am so excited to get started with babysitting here in Los Angeles.

“Haily is an exceptionally kind and patient person. She is dependable, professional and knows how to make anyone feel comfortable, even the shyest person. She is an amazing tutor and from what I know has a lot of experience tutoring kids of all ages. She prioritizes the needs of those around her and is always willing to help. I couldn’t recommend her more.”

Amelia 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

As the oldest of eight cousins on my mom’s side, I’ve been looking after younger kids since I was young. I’ve babysat children of all ages and even ran a kids’ softball camp where I made sure everyone felt included, had fun, and learned new skills in a safe environment. I’m CPR certified and comfortable helping with homework, preparing meals, and planning creative or active playtime. In addition to childcare, I have a big heart for animals. I have my own dog and have also been dog-sitting for over 7 years—feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets are well cared for while their owners are away. I’m familiar with different breeds and comfortable around large animals and pets that shed. When it comes to household services, I’m happy to help with anything that makes your life easier—cleaning, laundry, running errands, organizing, whatever you need! Whether it’s kids, pets, or general help around the house, I’m here to help however I can!

“Amelia arrived early which is always refreshing. She was so sweet and proactive about wanting to find what interests my kids have. She was so hands on with play, followed my guidelines/rules of the house, and tidied up as requested. She stayed a little later because we were running late. My kids raved all the next day what a fun time they had with her. She is professional yet fun, responsible and trustworthy. We would very highly recommend Amelia.”

Shay 1 review
$21 per hour for 1 child

My name is Shay, and I’ve spent over 10 years caring for children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers—both in the U.S. and overseas. I’ve taught English through my church, helped care for children within my own family, and supported new mothers as they adjusted after welcoming their babies. I’m a caring, patient, and reliable babysitter who loves creating a safe, calm environment for children. I’m attentive, nurturing, and respectful of family routines, and I’m happy to help with playtime, meals, and light tidying. I take children’s safety and parents’ trust very seriously and am open to occasional or regular babysitting.

“I have observed Shay caring for children ranging from infants to teens. She has generously volunteered her time to care for pastors’ children during their busy schedules. Shay is well-loved by the children and consistently welcomes them with warmth, kindness, and a positive demeanor. As a parent of an infant myself, I have personally experienced her attentiveness—when Shay babysits for me, she takes immediate, proactive care of my child, allowing me to focus fully on my work with confidence and peace of mind. I confidently recommend Shay to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate babysitter.”

Jasmine $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Jasmine, and I’m currently a rising junior at Wellesley College double majoring in Education and Psychology. I have always loved working with children because I understand how important it is for them to have someone who is patient, supportive, and trustworthy in their lives. I also understand that choosing someone to care for your child is a big decision, and I never take that trust lightly. My goal is to create an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and encouraged to be themselves. My experience caring for children has grown naturally through my family and the relationships I have built with the children I have cared for. As an older sister, I have always helped support and look after my siblings, which taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of being attentive to each child’s individual needs. I have also had the opportunity to care for my younger cousin from infancy through his toddler years, and watching him grow has taught me so much about the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a nurturing environment. While attending Wellesley, I have also gained babysitting experience in Boston, where I have enjoyed getting to know families and helping create a safe and positive space for their children. I have experience connecting with children at different ages and stages, and I love being someone they can feel comfortable with, whether that means helping with routines, playing, learning, or simply being there to support them. I would describe myself as dependable, caring, patient, and responsible. I enjoy creating activities that allow children to explore and have fun, such as reading, music, dancing, creative activities, outdoor walks, and helping with homework. My background in Education and Psychology has also helped me better understand children’s development, emotions, and the importance of making them feel valued and heard. I also have a SafeChokeSaver certification, which has strengthened my knowledge of child safety and preparedness. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a caring, safe, and positive environment where your child feels happy, supported, and able to be themselves.
