Renn $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Renn, a caring and reliable sitter with 10+ years of experience working with children of all ages. I have worked in an elementary school setting for the past 5+ years, with children that have learning differences. Over the years, I have been asked by multiple parents of the students I work with to babysit, pet sit, and house sit and can provide amazing references. I love engaging kids in fun activities, whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor play, or reading stories. I’m also happy to help with homework or prepare simple meals. I am a very creative and active person. In my free time, I embroider by hand, make jewelry, rock climb, hike, and swim. I also love playing chess! With the school year approaching, I am ideally looking for a family who needs a little extra help. I have a reliable vehicle and am happy to facilitate rides if needed. Looking forward to meeting you and your little one(s)!

Lara 4 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Culver City, CA

Hello! I am a PhD Student in Sociology, where I focus on the sociology of childhood and education. Beyond my research, I have had lots of experience working with kids - casually as a babysitter, but also more formally at a variety of summer camps. I am new to Los Angeles (from London, England) and have enjoyed exploring all the wonderful parks and enjoying the sun. Hope I can do more with your child(ren) sometime soon :)

“Kids immediately warmed to Lara and had such fun playing with her! Will definitely hire again. ”

Tranell $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tranell. I am caring, reliable, detail oriented, patient loving person, who overall enjoys helping. I recently graduated MRI school. I understand routines, patience, and creating a safe, calm environment for children. I have hands-on experience supporting autistic children, which has taught me the importance of consistency, understanding, and individualized care. I’m very detail-oriented, patient, and compassionate, and I always prioritize safety and clear communication. I’m comfortable with pets. I am also very knowledgeable, wise and helpful in many areas. I would love to be a help to you, as a support system would. I genuinely love being a woman families can rely on. I believe children thrive when they are surrounded by a strong, caring village, and parents do too. I understand how demanding parenthood can be, and I’m passionate about helping create smoother days and a supportive environment for the entire family. I’d love to support your family with reliable, attentive care you can feel confident about.
