I am currently available on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday night. Fully vaccinated, covid and flu. I am a PhD candidate at Northwestern in Theatre and Drama. As someone who works in theatre and drama, I appreciate how children know how to have fun and be creative. I am available for occasional jobs and I can be contacted on short notice. Policies: I charge +2 per hour for additional children not included in the original booking. I charge for hours booked + any extra hours, so please think about how much time you actually need.

“Liz is lovely! She was very communicative, reliable, and easygoing. My kids really enjoyed their time with her, and I felt confident leaving them in her care. I would absolutely hire her again!”

Booked by 197 families in Marina Del Rey, CA

I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages, and I specialize in applied behavioral analysis. Currently, I work in a school setting, supporting autistic children and children with disabilities in their development. I create a fun, engaging, and safe environment that fosters both learning and growth. My approach emphasizes structure and developmentally enriching activities, using play-based techniques to make learning enjoyable. For instance, I might turn toys into counting tools or transform everyday moments into skill-building opportunities. I am a compassionate, patient, and dedicated caregiver who genuinely loves working with children. Since the age of 15, I have cared for children, including those with autism, ensuring they feel supported, valued, and empowered. My goal is to provide a nurturing and educational space where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and cognitively in the classroom and at home, ultimately building productive individuals who contribute positively to society.

“Ariana was awesome! She planned a fun day with my two daughters 5 and 2, was communcative, on time, and very sweet and reliable! Highly recommend!”

Booked by 8 families in Marina Del Rey, CA

Hello families! My name is Crystle and I’m a recent graduate from CSU Northridge. A few things I’d be more than delighted to do is childcare, pet care, and household services. I have 7 years of experience through summer camps and caregiving for the elderly. I have worked with multiple wonderful families and their children, with whom I have developed great relationships with and had the most rewarding experiences with them. I’ve cared for beloved pets as well! I would be more than happy to accompany your children and/ or pets, as I have a pet myself, and I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for and loving them. I'd be delighted to complete household services as well, including driving the kids to any extracurricular activities or events they might have, looking after pets or running errands. I take initiative in doing work that may need attending to and will ensure that everything required of me is completed thoroughly and efficiently. I understand that finding the best caregiver or babysitter for your loved ones is a top priority, in which I have made it my priority to ensure that I will provide the best outcome. I take pride in any work I do, and I’d love to have the opportunity to work with you! Please don’t hesitate to reach out for any questions or concerns!
