"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

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
Lizette $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Culver City, CA
I'm a nurturing and experienced caregiver-and a mother with over 16 years of experience as a nanny, after-school playground worker, site coordinator, volunteer, and teacher's aide. My background has given me a deep understanding of child development and early education. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development from California State University, Northridge, in 2013, and I'm passionate about creating a safe, fun, and enriching environment where children can learn, explore, and grow. I love incorporating outdoor play, creativity, and hands-on learning into daily activities. As both a parent and a dedicated caregiver, I understand the importance of fostering a nurturing and engaging space for little ones. I'm excited to connect with a family looking for a thoughtful, experienced, and compassionate nanny. Let's work together to create a supportive and stimulating environment for your child!
