Gwendolyn 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Van Nuys, CA

Hey there! My name is Gwendolyn, and I have over 15 years of babysitting experience. I have cared for children of all ages, including working as a summer nanny and supporting children on the spectrum. I especially enjoy working with creative and imaginative kids, and I love encouraging fun activities, crafts, and play. In addition to childcare, I regularly care for pets and have experience with senior dogs and cats, including administering medication. I am also available to assist as a household helper-whether that’s light cooking, cleaning, running errands, or helping with day-to-day tasks. And a bit about me: I love all things vintage fashion, Disney, and American Girl dolls. I’m really into history, storytelling, and creative hobbies, which is probably why I get along so well with imaginative kids. I’m friendly, reliable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know and build ongoing relationships with the families I work with.

“Gwen was so great. When I asked my 5 year old if he liked her he said “I love her” 🥰 Will definitely be hiring her again!”

Booked by 3 families in Van Nuys, CA

Hi – My name is Jordan. I’m originally from the Midwest, now living in Los Angeles, CA. I love babysitting and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, children and early adolescents since I was 12 years old. I have over 18 years of experience working with children. My mother owned a daycare in my childhood years, so my desire to tend to families developed at an early age from watching my mother. My previous responsibilities have included after school pick up/drop off, cooking, light housekeeping, overnights, running errands and tutoring. My former experience as a Montessori teacher’s assistant allows me to be great assisting with homework help and individualized education needs. I have 5+ references from families that I’ve built strong connections with long after my duties were completed, and I’m hoping to have that same lasting impression with your family as well 🤍 I look forward to letting you learn more about me and connecting you with my references to help you successfully mark one off one less thing on your ‘to-do’ list and provide the best childcare services to you! I will text or email my references to you (since the website does not show phone numbers). Cheers!

Booked by 2 families in Van Nuys, CA

Hi! My name is Isabel, I’m 25 years old and grew up in the Burbank area as part of a close-knit family of five. I’ve been around children for as long as I can remember and have hands-on experience caring for kids between the ages of 1 to 10 years old. I especially enjoy working with children ages 1 to 5, as I believe this is a crucial time in their development—and I love being part of their growth, learning, and joy during these early years. I’m trilingual in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language (ASL), which I’ve found can be a fun and engaging way to help children learn to communicate in different ways. I’m also a recent graduate from California State University, Northridge (CSUN). In addition to childcare, I love staying active, doing arts and crafts, baking, and going on walks. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can express themselves, explore, and thrive.

“Isabel is my son’s best friend! She’s an amazing nanny and i highly recommend her!!! ”

Nicole 4 reviews
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in Van Nuys, CA

Hello, my name is Nicole! I’m 26 years old and originally from Poland. I’m currently living in Los Angeles, Encino and have several years of childcare experience, including working as an Au Pair (live in nanny) where I cared for children of different ages and supported busy families in their everyday routines. I’m CPR certified and have experience with kids from ages 2 to 15. Over time, I’ve learned how to find that sweet spot between fun and structure whether we’re doing crafts, playing outside, helping with homework or just winding down after a busy day. I always want kids to feel safe, comfortable, and free to be themselves, and for you to feel relaxed knowing they’re in good hands. In my free time, I’m very active. I enjoy sports and going to the gym, which helps me stay energetic. I love reading books and cooking, and I often share my passion for learning and healthy meals with the little ones I care for. I am a reliable and a safe driver so transportation and errands are never a problem. I’m responsible, caring, punctual and always ready to create a fun and positive environment for children! I’m more than happy to chat and answer any questions over a phone call, feel free to reach out anytime!

“Nicole was absolutely wonderful. She was prompt and dove into my chaotic house with ease. She kept both my kids off screens and engaged in play and she helped them make healthy fruit smoothies for snack time. Would definitely recommend and will be having her back.”

Alexandra 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Alexandra and I am 27 years old. From a very young age I have attracted and been surrounded by children, but my first paid experience in the US began two years ago, when I decided to travel to this country as an au pair and experienced a cultural exchange. I developed new skills with infants and toddlers, sleep training, meal prep, motor development, crafts, sensory activities, baby milestones and much more (considering I lived with them). I believe that children feed your soul, strengthen your personality, patience, discipline and dedication and that is why I love working with them. I'm CPR and first aid certified. I'd describe my personality as kind, bright and optimistic, and I'm looking for a job that provides me stability and a good atmosphere. I will be available the first week of October and I am located in The Valley.

“Alexa is the best babysitter I have ever had and she is still working with us full-time but we will be with family for holidays so hoping that she could be helpful for another family. I was nervous to leave my 4 month old with someone all day while my husband and I were both at work but Alexa has been so amazing I have no concerns that he is in wonderful hands. She proposed a sleeping and eating schedule and tidies while he sleeps, and is great at keeping him engaged with activities. She is also great with my 3.5 year old who is in preschool but is occasionally around as well. Happy to share more to anyone who is considering booking her!”
