Misty $35 per hour for 1 child

* I have many excellent local referral/recommendations that I’m happy to send you with phone numbers, etc. (not through this platform, so cannot add) I've raised 4 children, three girls and one boy. I have 4 "favorites". I home educated my older two through graduation. It was an awesome experience. I enjoy children of all ages and consider caring for them to be a blessing and high calling. I'm easy-going, smart, kind, intuitive and full of initiative. The glass is half full to me and gratitude is a daily priority. I enjoy making the most of each moment. I enjoy thrifting, estate sales, reading, exploring and being near the water. I was raised in the Midwest, happily lived in Austin for 15 years and newly arrived in Echo Park. Empty nest, new adventure! I have excellent references for childcare, elder care, personal assistant, clear recent background check, excellent driving record. * Especially interested in: one time jobs, recurring jobs with minimal hours per week, travel jobs-domestic or international of two weeks or less

Booked by 1 family in Burbank, CA

Hi! I’m Vitória, and I have over 7 years of experience supporting families throughout Los Angeles as a nanny, household assistant, and personal organizer. I’ve cared for children from 3 months to 13 years old, with most of my experience being with families of three children between the ages of 2 and 9. My responsibilities have included school pick ups and drop offs, meal preparation, daily routines, activities, homework support, and creating a calm, organized home environment. Beyond childcare, I’ve also supported families with household management, running errands and organizing spaces. I’m currently looking for part time nanny or house assistant opportunities while I transition career and continue growing my personal organizing/personal assistant business. I especially enjoy helping families through seasons of change whether you’re relocating, searching for the right long term nanny, or simply need an extra set of hands during a busy chapter. I also love supporting first time moms as they settle into parenthood by creating thoughtful systems, routines, and an organized home that helps their new lifestyle feel a little more manageable. I’m warm, dependable, proactive, and truly enjoy making life easier for the families I work with. I look forward to connecting with you!

Olivia $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I am from New York but have been living in LA for almost 4 years. I have 6-7 years of experience of working with kids from teaching skiing, nannying, and regular babysitting. In the past I would play board games, paint, and anything outdoors. My full time job is as an art director so I lean on the creative side to do painting, drawing, etc with the kiddos. Hope we can connect soon!

Kate $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kate, and I’d love to support your family with reliable, attentive, and engaging part-time childcare, including evenings and weekends. I currently work full-time at a family law center and truly enjoy working with children and families. I’m a Colgate University graduate and an incoming student at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. I have extensive tutoring and babysitting experience, along with a lifetime of hands-on childcare from growing up with three younger siblings. I am also lifeguard certified and have previous experience as a swimming instructor. I’m responsible, patient, and organized, and I prioritize creating a safe, positive environment, whether that means helping with homework, doing crafts, playing outdoors, reading together, or supporting bedtime routines. I also bring strong academic support experience, including homework help, organization, and study skills. I specialize in standardized test preparation and college readiness (177 LSAT, 34 ACT), but always tailor my approach to each child’s age and learning style. Families describe me as dependable, communicative, and calm under pressure. I’m happy to assist with light tidying, simple meal prep, and maintaining household routines. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Elisabeth $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lizzy and I'm offering my services as a creative and arts-focused babysitter. I grew up in an artist family and have a lot of experience with exploring all the arts. I have a knack for inspiring kids to get drawing, painting, singing, sculpture, dancing, and playing. I was raised biculutrally French and American and I can easily adapt to international families. I speak fluent French and I have a B1.3 level in Spanish. I can also speak conversational German. I’ve lived in Germany and France as well, and spent some time in Italy, Mexico, and Portugal. I'm allergic to cats and dogs unfortunately, but can be around hypoallergenic dogs without problems. I'm a tidy person, and good at organising! I can help tidy and organise your house, do shopping, etc. Thank you and hope to hear from you!
