I’ve been working with children since I was 18 and have several years of experience caring for and supporting young children. I’m patient, nurturing, dependable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs.

Erika $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Erika. I am a mother of three and an educator. I am a former Preschool teacher with 20+ years experience. I have worked with children as young as one, up to school age children. As an educator I believe young children learn positive behavior by watching and interacting with their caregivers every day. When caregivers model kindness, patience, and respect ,children begin to understand how to manage emotions, build healthy relationships, and make good choices.

Talia $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Talia, and I currently work as a pediatric care partner and unit secretary at CHLA. Through my experience in pediatric healthcare, I've developed a calm, patient, and attentive approach to caring for infants, children, and adolescents while supporting both their emotional and daily care needs. My experience includes monitoring vital signs, assisting with feeding and hygiene, maintaining patient safety, and helping care for babies and children with medical and developmental needs, including former preemies/NICU transfers and children with epilepsy, autism, and ADHD. In addition to my pediatric healthcare background, I also have experience providing childcare support for family friends and children within my community. Families would describe me as dependable, compassionate, observant, and nurturing.

Julianna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Julianna! I’m in college, studying to be a teacher, and babysitting because I grew up babysitting family and friends’ kids and love working with them!

I’m great with kids of all ages but especially babies and toddlers :) I can cook simple meals, help with homework, go for walks, and come up with fun and engaging activities the kiddos will love🤗 $20/1 child, $25/2 children, etc.

Daniella $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Daniella. I have almost a year of experience working as an after school teacher with children from first through sixth grade, along with over four years of babysitting and childcare volunteer experience. I’m known in my church community as a “baby and child whisperer” because of how naturally I connect with children and how comfortable they feel around me. I’m very calm, nurturing, and patient, while also being fun, playful, and engaging. I’m highly responsible, organized, and attentive to routines, safety, and each child’s individual needs. I’m comfortable handling all childcare responsibilities, including meals, activities, homework help, and daily routines. I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment where children feel cared for and parents feel confident and at ease. I’m available Monday through Friday at any time, and Saturdays from early morning until 12 PM.
