Hi! I’m Dakota, I am a 2025 graduate from Palos Verdes Highschool, now entering my freshman year at Harbor College. I will be 19 years old in January. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I am starting a new job at Creative Brain Learning as an after school teacher at Crestwood Elementary in Rancho Palos Verdes. Dance has always been a passion of mine, in high-school, I was on the song team (dance/pom) so I am very spirited and outgoing. I have extensive experience as a caregiver. I am the oldest of 2 younger siblings that I care for and 5+ years of experience with sitting. I have babysat in the past for neighborhood families through other sitting apps such as Bambino. In the past summers, I would work at La Primera Preschool with all the younger children. I would assist the caregivers and teachers in changing diapers, cleaning, and watching the children play, etc. I can prepare simple meals for your child, help your child with homework, and I am great with pets! I can also do late nights if you need more time while you’re out! I work from a place of empathy and kindness. I would love to hear from you!

Crystal $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Crystal I’m a mother of two teenagers and have always loved working with children. For the past four years, I’ve worked as a paraprofessional in a school, supporting children from kindergarten through third grade. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and understanding each child’s individual needs. I truly enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, caring, and positive environment for them. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, visiting museums, and watching movies. As a babysitter, my goal is not only to care for your children but also to help parents feel confident, comfortable, and reassured while they’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children, and I would treat your family with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
