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.

Booked by 1 family in Maywood, CA
Hey there - I'm Sadi! I started my journey in college with a nanny company, where I cared for little ones as young as a few months old and have worked with children of all ages in a variety of settings. Growing up in Montana, I eventually took my adventures to Washington for college, then spent a year in Germany before landing in LA in 2016. By day, I’m a student affairs advisor for graduate students, but I'm excited to offer my babysitting services for weekends and date nights. I can’t wait to meet you!
“She is incredible, kind, attentive ! We have worked with Sadi probably now about a year and she’s incredibly fantastic. Our toddler 2.5 year old loves her, we couldn’t recommend her more.”
