I’m currently a college student at USC with 4 years of tutoring experience, working with students of all ages to help them grow academically and build confidence. For the past 3 years, I’ve also babysat part-time for multiple families, primarily caring for children ages 1 and up. I’ve handled infants on several occasions and would love to gain more hands-on experience with younger babies as well. I’m calm under pressure, very organized, and always prioritize creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing snacks, playing games, or managing bedtime routines, I’m happy to support families however I can. As a student, I bring energy and strong communication skills. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with both kids and parents, and I’m committed to making your family’s day a little easier.

I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I have experience babysitting children of different ages, working at a gymnastics facility, and assisting with special education students during high school. I love creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I also enjoy cooking and would be happy to help prepare meals or snacks when needed. I have my own reliable transportation, making it easy to arrive on time and help with school pick-ups, activities, or errands if needed. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing dependable care you can trust.

“McCall has been with us for about 6 months now. She’s one of the sweetest, kind, caring girls we know. She’s great with our girls and pets. Shes never once been late and is available for our date nights as well. I highly recommend her.”

I recently moved to California from Toronto, Canada, for my new role as a Principal Systems Engineer at a prestigious medical technology company. While I love my career, I also really enjoy spending my free time with children and being around their energy, curiosity, and creativity. I have experience babysitting for about three years, and I’ve always naturally enjoyed caring for and playing with children. I’m a very patient, responsible, and playful person, and I love doing activities with kids rather than simply watching them. One of my dream jobs has actually always been to work in a daycare or spend my days caring for and interacting with children. Babysitting gives me a wonderful opportunity to do something I genuinely enjoy while also helping a family who needs a trustworthy and caring person for their little ones. My work schedule is Monday through Friday, 9 AM–5 PM, so I’m available for babysitting after 5 PM on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I’d be happy to work with your family’s schedule and help whenever I can . Note: I am doing this job as volunteer work to help families.

Hello! Caring for children and babies is what I do best. As a natural empath and caregiver, I feel it's a skill that just kind of exists for me organically. I think children deserve to be seen and heard, and their feelings matter. I love to have fun and be silly, but am also very calm. I've had parents describe me as their child's "first friend" (let me grab a tissue), which I think is a lovely and fulfilling role to have.

“I chose “other” because my answer is “all of the above”! I’ve known Emily for many years and we’ve worked together, we’re friends, she’s helped me with my kids, all of it! She is amazing with kids and though we are not related, she will always be “Auntie” to my kids. She’s very gentle and kind, but knows when to tell kids no. She’s really patient and understanding with kids and the different emotions they go through. She is very neat and always on time and I would recommend her to any family who needed help with their child care needs!”

As a childcare provider, my passion lies in fostering children's growth and development. With three years of experience, I'm skilled at nurturing the well-being of children aged 0 to 3. My patient and creative nature allows me to connect with children, encouraging their imagination and curiosity. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular updates on their child's day and addressing any concerns. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure a safe and structured environment. Beyond childcare, I can assist with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. My CPR training and coursework in early child development further enhance my ability to provide a nurturing environment for your child. My commitment to supporting families and making a positive impact on children's lives drives me to be the best caregiver for your family.

“Homa, has been an absolute gem for our child. From the very first day, she has shown exceptional care and dedication. She has a natural ability to connect with kids, making them feel comfortable and entertained. She is incredibly reliable and punctual. We never had to worry about her arrival time, and she always kept us informed about any changes in her schedule. Her communication skills are excellent, and she is always available to provide updates on how the day went with our child. One of the things we appreciate the most is her creativity and enthusiasm in engaging our child in various activities. She comes up with fun and educational games that keep our child entertained and help with their development. Our child has learned so much and had so much fun under her care. Moreover, she is very responsible and attentive to our child's needs. She ensures that our child follows their routines, eats healthy meals, and gets enough rest. In addition to her outstanding caregiving skills, she is also a trustworthy person. We feel completely at ease leaving our child in her care, knowing that they are in safe and capable hands. Overall, I highly recommend her as a babysitter. She has been a fantastic addition to our family, and we are incredibly grateful for her dedication and hard work. If you are looking for a reliable, caring, and engaging babysitter, she is the perfect choice.”
