Hello, my name is Autumn and I've recently returned to my hometown of Los Angeles. I'm very excited to reconnect with my roots and plant myself into a new life here. Since I was a valley girl, I've been caring for others. Whether it was my younger siblings (I come from a family of 7 kids) or the sweet family of 6 down the street, I started babysitting at the responsible age of 11! Years later I chose to be an au-pair in Germany to an infant and her 3 year old sister Luisa who filled my days with curiosity and wonder. Not long after returning to the states, I lived with a professional family of Berkeley, nannying for their 2 daughters aged 7 and 9. With both families I tutored, cooked, played games, crafted, offered transportation, advised, championed, provided recreational activities and sang lullabies. In-between these lines of work, I was also once a clown and balloon maker. I have assisted elders with tender care, errands, out of state relocation and aquatic exercise! (I recently became a lifeguard and certified swim instructor.) I am an extremely clean and organized person, a self-taught home chef, attended neurodivergent training and believe that human connection should always come first. I drive an all electric vehicle and have a clean driving history. I am the sole caretaker of 2 sweet cats but have also looked after friend's dogs in the past. As a child I had a pet mouse, snake, parakeet and hamster so I'm comfortable with all types! I pay close attention to detail, am excellent at anticipating needs and am a certified masseuse. I have much to offer individuals and families of all sizes. Being a caregiver is so much more than customer service as it requires sincere intuition and heart. One has to navigate personal needs while also being present of mind to consider safety, technicalities and timelines. I'm also experienced in home renovations should any minor repairs be required. Collectively, I possess the personal qualities, the particular skillset and the creative talents to care for animals, homes and humans of all ages. I look forward to connecting to see if we're a match!
I’m a recent college graduate who recently moved to Los Angeles. I’ve spent my summers at camp, first as a camper and later as a counselor, where I loved helping create the same meaningful experiences I had as a camper. I also have experience tutoring students throughout high school. In my senior year of college, I took an elective that partnered us with a local school, meeting weekly with a small group of students — it quickly became one of my favorite classes, and solidified my passion for working with kids in educational settings.
Hello!!! My name is Kennedy, and I'm a 22-year-old College student. I've received my AA in Communications from SMC and will be receiving my B. A. in Communications from Loyola Marymount University in December. I'm fluent in Spanish, love working out, wellness, being active, reading, and exploring this world! I absolutely love children and have a huge respect for them, as I think they're the smartest and greatest humans :) I'd describe my personality as kind, empathetic, and gregarious. I like working with kids because they are infectious! This job provides such a rewarding experience of being a part of a child's development, and it really doesn't get more rewarding! I started working with kids when I was 17 years old. In my spare time, I like to do Pilates, hike, read, watch movies, spend time with family and friends, or anything self-care related! One thing you should know about me is that I'm very flexible! My skills include being patient, a problem solver, and creative.
I’m Cynthia, and I’ve worked with kids for years in both creative and educational settings. I’ve taught acting and directed youth theater programs, so I’m very comfortable keeping kids engaged, entertained, and supported in a structured but fun way. I’m responsible, patient, and great at balancing playtime with safety and routines. I’m also CPR trained, experienced with different age groups, and confident handling everything from homework help to bedtime routines. I genuinely enjoy being around kids and creating an environment where they feel safe, heard, and excited to learn and play. I’d love to help out and make things easier for your family.
“Cynthia is a great babysitter to my 10- and 13-year-old! She drives, cooks, helps with bedtime routines and a lot more. She cares deeply about my kids' well-being and is highly responsible. She is very attentive to our needs while also bringing her own, fun personality to the job. Always eager to go above and beyond, Cynthia has become a great addition to our family.”
Hi! I'm Cat, a college-educated, reliable nanny with 3 years of professional experience. I'm 26 and have worked with children ages 2–12, supporting families throughout my college years and beyond. My time as a nanny sparked a genuine passion for childcare that continues to this day. I am looking for part-time or one-off nanny opportunities, as I currently work full-time in the beauty marketing industry. I love planning fun, enriching activities, and I’m great with pets, music, reading, and movie time. I have my own reliable transportation and always show up on time, ready to help. If my previous families were to describe me, they'd probably say I am trustworthy, caring, and responsible. I’d love to support your family however I can!
