Evita $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Evita, and I'm a graduate student at USC pursuing my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy after earning my degree in Psychology. I offer babysitting, tutoring, homework help, and light household assistance, and I'm passionate about creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children. I have experience working with children ages 3–5 through a community program where I helped build social-emotional skills, school readiness, healthy routines, and positive learning experiences. In addition to childcare, I enjoy helping with homework, reading, arts and crafts, educational activities, meal preparation, and keeping children engaged in creative play. As a psychology student and former teacher assistent I'm patient, dependable, and comfortable helping children learn while making sure they feel encouraged and cared for. Families can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and communicative. My goal is to provide dependable care that gives parents peace of mind while making sure every child feels safe, happy, and supported.

Vivien $25 per hour for 1 child
I love children! I helped raise my (fraternal twin brothers). I have a reputation for my warm, caring nature, and for being reliable and trustworthy. I have been a nanny (in Nashville) to an infant and to a toddler and school aged child (also in Nashville). I have also been a nanny/tutor to a school-aged girl in Los Angeles, and a special-needs school-aged boy in Los Angeles. My main profession is writing, but I am seeking a side hustle to give me a chance to spend time around kids and also to supplement my writing work income since AI is stealing some of my work. = ) I have GREAT references!
