Hi there! I am 24 years old, and recently moved from NYC to LA to work at UCLA. I am a Staff Research Associate at a developmental neuroscience lab working on an important childhood development study. A huge part of my job involves working with infants, from newborn to 2 years old. I am looking for some babysitting jobs to fill my free time, and would love to help out your family! During my undergraduate years at Barnard College, | studied psychology, with a focus in childhood development. I worked in the Barnard Center for Toddler Development as a teacher for 12 2-year-olds. I have an extensive background in developmental psychology coursework, including Infant Development and Atypical Development. During the summers, I work as a head counselor and program coordinator at a sleep away camp for ages 8-17. I love cooking, and planning activities for children to do after school.

“Amazing! Punctual and communicative throughout the day. My daughter loves her and can’t wait for their next hang out. Highly recommend.”

Booked by 2 families in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hi, I'm a dedicated childcare professional, preschool teacher, and proud mom who genuinely loves helping children learn, grow, and feel safe and supported. Families describe me as kind, dependable, communicative, and easy to work with. I believe strong relationships with both children and parents are built on trust, transparency, and open communication, and those are values I bring to every family I work with. I have a background in psychology and hold two Associate degrees in Child Development with concentrations in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. My experience includes working as a preschool teacher, babysitter, nanny, and mother, giving me a well-rounded understanding of children's developmental, emotional, and educational needs. I'm an outdoorsy, creative, and affectionate caregiver who loves singing, dancing, reading stories, making art, and turning everyday moments into fun learning opportunities. I enjoy following children's interests while creating routines that help them feel secure, confident, and engaged. Childcare has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mother worked as a nanny in different parts of the world, and I was fortunate to grow up alongside the families she cared for. Watching her taught me the importance of patience, flexibility, and building meaningful connections with children and parents alike. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have a clear background check and fingerprint clearance, and am committed to providing the highest level of care. Whether you need occasional support or a long-term caregiver, I would love the opportunity to be a trusted, nurturing presence in your child's life. I look forward to connecting with your family!

“Kimberly was an incredible babysitter for our son Van! From the moment we connected, she was kind, caring, and professional. She kept us updated throughout the evening with thoughtful texts and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares and is passionate about what she does. Van was comfortable and happy with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kimberly is everything we were hoping for in a sitter—and more. We will absolutely be using her again (and again)!”

Hi! My name is Sydney and I am college graduate from Brandeis University and have recently graduated from Parker University. I have been babysitting since I was 14. I am CPR/First Aid/AED certified for children and infants. I played collegiate and international softball, so I can definitely handle an active child. I love children of all ages. I worked in a daycare from 2[removed] in Massachusetts in the 2-3-year-old classroom. In addition to children, I also adore animals. I have been a Wag Walker for 4 years, but I also volunteered at an animal rescue for years. I have two dogs, a cat, and a turtle so I can (and will) comfortably care for your animals!

Hi! My name is Serena and I'm a recent grad from San Francisco State University. I majored in Child & Adolescent Development with a concentration in School Age Child & Family. During college I was an afterschool nanny for 4 years for the same family, providing transportation to activities, helping with homework, performing light housekeeping, and preparing lunches for the next day. I also worked at the San Francisco Zoo as a camp instructor for three summers, working with children ages 4 to 10. I would describe my childcare philosophy as a strong emphasis on building trustful relationships, with lots of fun and laughing! I have my own car with a clean driving record, and I am also CPR/First Aid certified! Looking forward to meet you and your kids! :)
