Hi, I’m Shayla! I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, and it’s something I’ve always truly loved. I’m looking for a side job that’s more fulfilling than my current full time position, and caring for kids is exactly that and more. I love doing crafts, helping with homework and tutoring, cooking fun meals, and spending time outside. I also love Zootopia more than I should probably admit. I aim to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where kids feel happy and parents feel confident leaving them in my care.
Hi! My name is Madeline or Maddie. I hold a bachelor’s degree in History with a minor in Education from UCSD. I have worked with newborns as young as 2 months to children as old as 13. I have about six years of babysitting experience, with four of those years being after I turned 18. I have also previously worked as an elementary school tutor for 3 years as well as privately. I have my own transportation. In addition I am also CPR and First Aid Certified with a Covid Vaccination. I am proficient in American Sign and I am fluent in English. I am a very patient and energetic babysitter. I would love to continue expanding my caregiving experience by babysitting for you. Thank you so much!
I’m a parent of 1, my daughter is now an adult. I retired from the Army after 20yrs in 2016. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and have worked(played) in their nursery for over a year in my church. I have also taught in Sunday school 3-5yr olds and 12-15 yr olds. I love babysitting kids because I only had 1 and wanted more. I wouldn't have been able to continue in my career or make it to retirement if it wasn't for the babysitters & family I had for my daughter. I’ve lived in multiple states and 2 other countries as well as visited 19 countries for work. I love “working” with kids because they are nonjudgmental, carefree and a great reminder to slow down and enjoy simple things in life. I'm not looking to start a new career, I believe kids can make life fun and happier than being in a boring corporate office or answering to a boss.
“Jessica took great care of my daughter! She was punctual, very patient and friendly. My daughter loved spending time with her. I would highly recommend her. ”
Hi! My name is Sara, I’m 26 years old. My major is in stem and I graduated cum laude from San Francisco State University. I recently completed the teaching credential program at Cal State LA. I am currently applying to teach high school science (biology/anatomy/earth and space) for next school year. That being said my availability for summer is open! (^: I have work experience in mentoring/tutoring services, summer camp counseling, retail, medical administration at Cedars Sinai, and substitute teaching. Although I do not have formal training caregiving, I have had plenty of experience caregiving for younger family members as well as watching over pets for extended periods of time. I am a kind and caring person and I get along with children and pets very easily. I look forward to working with you! (^:
Hi, I'm Maria! I have 10+ years of experience working with children, starting with family and growing through trusted referrals. I'm warm, patient, and reliable, and I love keeping kids engaged through crafts, outdoor play, reading, and creative activities while maintaining structure with routines like meals, homework, and bedtime. I'm a UCLA graduate and have worked as a behavioral technician with children on the autism spectrum, which has made me adaptable, attentive, and supportive of each child's unique needs. I'm comfortable with school drop-offs/pick-ups, light household tasks, and pets. I have reliable transportation and always prioritize safety, communication, and creating a positive environment for both kids and parents. I am CPR CERTIFIED.
