Hello, my name is Elena. I am 48-years-old Peruvian single mother. I am offering my services as a babysitter because I love taking care of children. I adore painting, drawing, singing, dancing, and teaching new things. I have a great imagination to create fun activities for children and, above all, a lot of energy! I am a very patient person, and I like organizing and keeping play areas clean, safe, and in order.
Hi, my name is Sandra. I am a kind, loving mother of three with a warm, patient heart. I have hands-on experience caring for children, cooking, cleaning, and organizing, and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and happy home environment for families.
I am a dependable, compassionate, and patient caregiver with extensive experience supporting children and families. As an employee of LAUSD, I have been thoroughly vetted through government background checks and professional screening requirements. I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish, allowing me to communicate effectively with diverse families. My experience includes working with children of varying ages and needs, providing academic support, supervision, homework assistance, and emotional encouragement. Families appreciate my reliability, strong communication skills, organization, and commitment to creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. I am trustworthy, adaptable, and dedicated to providing high-quality care tailored to each family’s unique needs.
I’m a warm, creative, playful and dependable caregiver with 15+ years of childcare experience with children of all ages, from newborns and toddlers to teens. I currently babysit for several wonderful families on the Westside and have experience with infant care, diaper changes, bottles, naps, bedtime routines, potty training, light meal prep, swimming and outdoor activities, arts and crafts, and imaginative play. I have a BA in Theatre from UCLA and a background in comedy, so creativity and play come naturally to me! I’m also an animal lover, have a clean driving record and safe car, and am happy to help with light household tasks related to the children. Most importantly, I strive to create an environment where kids feel safe, cared for, comfortable, and have fun!
I am a trained Early Childhood Educator from Switzerland with a professional diploma in childcare and early childhood development. I am fluent in both French and can speak English but still work on it. I have strong experience caring for children of different ages, supporting their emotional, social, and developmental needs in a safe and nurturing environment. I am used to working with routines, preparing meals, organizing activities, and creating a calm and structured space where children feel secure and happy. I am reliable, patient, and attentive, and I take my responsibility as a caregiver very seriously. Families can trust me to provide high-quality care, respect their home, and give their children the attention and care they deserve.
