Booked by 1 family in Sherman Oaks, CA

I’ve been caring for children, homes, and families for over 15 years. I started babysitting at age 15 and have continued working with kids of all ages ever since. Now at 30, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, experience, and maturity to every family I work with. I graduated from Brown University, where I was a Division I lacrosse player and captain of the team my senior year. That experience shaped my leadership, discipline, and ability to stay calm and organized in fast-paced environments—qualities I bring into caregiving every day. Professionally, I’m a business owner, which speaks to my reliability, time management, and strong communication skills. Families trust me not only with their children, but also with their homes. I’ve frequently been hired to house sit while families travel, managing everything from daily upkeep to pet care and ensuring everything runs smoothly while they’re away. I have extensive experience tutoring middle and high school students, so I’m very comfortable helping with homework, keeping kids engaged, and supporting their academic growth. I also regularly care for my nephew, which has deepened my ability to connect with children in a patient, attentive, and genuinely caring way. Overall, I’m known for being dependable, trustworthy, and easy to work with. I bring a positive, grounded energy and take pride in creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for both kids and families.

Ellen $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ellen and I would love to offer my services as a patient and nurturing caregiver. I like to think I am attentive, organized, and prioritize the safety of kids always! I can help with homework, engage kids in fun activities, prepare meals, manage bedtime routines, and keep the home clean. I love dogs and cats and am happy to assist with pretty much any household task! Families have described me as dependable, warm, and trustworthy. I truly enjoy building positive relationships with children while providing a structured, caring environment where they feel safe and supported. I’ve worked as a paraeducator in special education classrooms and am currently in the process of becoming an RBT (registered behavior technician). For families looking for household care rather than child care: I'd say I am super detail-oriented when it comes to cleaning. As long as I have the right supplies, I'll do a thorough job for your home! I can also cook most anything with a recipe to follow. On a whim though, I can make simple meals like fried rice, sandwiches, breakfast platter, and more!

Autumn $25 per hour for 1 child

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 am a third year college student at Ca State Dominguez Hills and I’m majoring in Advertising and Public Relations. I have been taking care of kids ages 0-3 for the last 2 years.
