Christina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Christina, and caring for children has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a family daycare, I was surrounded by the joy and energy of little ones, which inspired me to dedicate my life to early childhood education. With over 15 years of hands-on experience working in our family daycare, I’ve nurtured children of all ages, creating a loving and safe environment where they can learn and grow. I earned my Teacher’s Associate Certificate from UCLA to further my knowledge and skills, and I am currently an infant teacher at a preschool. I truly believe that every child deserves patience, warmth, and encouragement to thrive. My goal is to support families by providing the highest level of care, ensuring that both children and parents feel safe, valued, and supported. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your little ones and be a part of their early learning journey!

Nancy $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lomita, CA

My name is Nancy. I am the first born daughter of 8 children. I’ve been helping my mom take care of my siblings which have built the foundation of my profession. I’m currently a preschool teacher and have previous experience with being a substitute teacher for about 6 years. Through substituting, I was able to obtain a lot of my professional experience. I’ve been to a vast amount of daycares where I got to see and learn different learning styles in children as well as different approaches to learning and teaching children to achieve their milestones. I’ve been in a classroom where I’ve had to potty train and can say I was able to learn a few techniques. I’ve also been “long-term” in some sites where I was able to grow a bond with some of the children and celebrate their success. I do have a sibling with Asperger’s autism who is 15, so I have some experience with children on the spectrum.

Michelle 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have a lot of valuable experience, both with raising 3 children, teaching preschool, babysitting, and helping my 104 year old grandma with technology!

“Michelle (or Mimi as my toddler calls her) is the best. She’s been watching my very active son once a week for over a year, and I cannot emphasize how helpful she is. She’s patient, she focuses all of her attention on him and she makes playing fun. My son is absolutely exhausted after Michelle’s visits. He wakes up some mornings asking to “play date with Mimi” or will sing songs that she has taught him. Now that I have an infant too, she watches both boys with ease. Caretaking is her speciality. She’s very gentle and kind. Michelle is punctual, respectful and dependable. Whenever she comes over, I know I don’t have to worry about anything, she’s got in under control. I can go to work or run errands without hesitation.”

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.
