Lauren $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Lauren. I’m a Los Angeles–based childcare provider currently studying at the LA Film School, offering attentive, l care for children and families. I have been working with children since I was 15 and bring extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I spent three summers as a camp counselor, where I was responsible for large groups of young children, including up to 30 three-year-olds at once. In that role, I led structured programming such as educational music, dance, and beginner swim instruction, while also supporting children with a range of needs, including those on the autism spectrum. This background has made me highly adaptable, calm under pressure, and deeply attentive to each child’s individual personality and needs. I am comfortable managing daily routines, coordinating school drop-offs and pick-ups, and maintaining a well-structured, organized environment. I drive a Honda Pilot and can provide safe, reliable transportation when needed. Alongside childcare, I have experience in education as a Teacher’s Assistant for Film Production at Santa Barbara City College, where I supported and mentored students in a structured academic setting. I bring a creative, thoughtful approach to my work and especially enjoy fostering imagination, confidence, and curiosity through hands-on, screen-free activities. I am reliable and highly respectful of the home environment. I understand the level of trust required in this role and prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication at all times. My goal is to provide a calm, engaging, and supportive presence that families can fully rely on.

Melinda $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Inglewood, CA

Safety is ALWAYS my first priority. My passion lies in providing dependable support to families and your loved ones. I've had the privilege of working with infants to seniors over the past years. I hold a college degree and maintain a current CPR/First Aid certification. Additionally, I am resourceful, creative and calm under pressure, with the ability to think on my feet when challenges arise. A good sense of humor is an approach I use to help navigate various situations with ease. I’m more than happy to help with light housekeeping, driving children to and from school, activities, etc. (I have a safe SUV that holds 2 car seats easily). I'm also very flexible with yours/my schedule. I work hard and always have a smile on my face 😊

Sydney $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Sydney, a recent architecture graduate from USC, and I’m excited to offer childcare, pet care, and household help. I’ve been caring for children since I was 14 and have four years of experience as a summer nanny for two elementary school-aged kids. My responsibilities included picking them up from camp, preparing meals, doing crafts, and keeping them engaged and entertained throughout the day. In addition to babysitting, I’ve coached a young girls’ kickball team, which helped me develop patience, leadership, and a playful spirit that kids respond to. I haven’t worked with newborns or infants, but I’m comfortable and confident working with toddlers and school-age children. I also offer household assistant services like cooking, cleaning, and running errands—whatever helps your family run more smoothly! I grew up with both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable caring for furry family members too. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving them some love and attention, I’m happy to help. Looking forward to connecting!

Amrawit $20 per hour for 1 child

I have a bachelor’s degree in International Affairs, and I’ve been babysitting for the past 3 years. I currently babysit and have experience caring for children of different ages, and I really enjoy keeping them engaged through activities, walks, games, and just having fun together. I love caregiving because I genuinely enjoy being around kids and being someone they can feel comfortable and safe with. A little something about me: I’m a big soccer fan, love being outdoors, and I’m always up for a fun activity or adventure!
