Booked by 1 family in Mission Hills, CA

I have 10+ years of experience for newborn-11 years old, have a PhD in engineering, tutor/professor experience, and am BLS, CPR, and NREMT certified. I’m a fun, reliable, and caring babysitter who loves working with children of all ages—from tiny tots to teens! Whether it’s bedtime stories, overnights, or busy after-school evenings, I’m here to make your routines smoother and your kids feel safe, happy, and loved. 💕 I’m all about creating engaging educational activities, and am also happy to cook, help tidy up, and keep things running smoothly so parents can relax knowing everything’s taken care of on date nights out of the house!

“Jamie took wonderful care of our toddler. She was able to watch him, take him to the playground, feed him dinner, do bath time and put him to sleep to allow us to have a relaxing date night. She shared pictures during the whole time and sent updates. She is wonderful with kids and we will hire her again! ”

Nia $50 per hour for 1 child

My full birth name is Nia Jade Colbert, but no one calls me Nia—please call me Jade. As an Executive Assistant, it has been a joy and privilege to support, teach, guide, and provide a sense of protection and stability for my executives’ children. Over the years, I’ve managed households, offices, automobiles, travel logistics, and business operations, but nothing has been more fulfilling than being entrusted with helping oversee the well-being of their children and pets. My approach is simple: I see myself as my executives’ children’s Executive Assistant as well. After all, they are the future leaders of our country. I strive to foster creativity, service, support, safety, health, and love while encouraging them to grow into the people they are meant to become. I am a Christian and a Republican, and I respect every person’s God-given free will to seek their own faith and path. I believe in leading by example, treating others with kindness, respect, and integrity. I’m probably transparent to a fault. I live a very structured life, and I find fulfillment in meeting new people, building meaningful connections, and embracing experiences that challenge me to grow. I already have a very reputable top-tier job in finance during the work week and hoping to save money faster to purchase a home to take care of my family. I am also a proud mother of a 22-year-old son with special needs. God bless everyone. 💛🌅🇺🇸

McKenna $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is McKenna, and I have a strong passion for working with children and supporting families. I worked at Build-A-Bear Workshop for a little under a year, gaining hands-on experience creating fun, engaging, and positive experiences for kids of all ages. I love being a positive role model and bringing a warm, encouraging presence into every environment. I am very energetic and naturally adapt to each child's personality and energy level. Whether that means keeping up with active play or creating calm, structured moments, I can meet kids where they are. I am also very patient, understanding, and attentive, which helps me build trust and strong connections with both children and parents. I have experience working with a wide age range, from 1 to 17-year-olds, and I value open communication with families to ensure the best possible care. I am currently in school studying to become a child therapist, so I am especially passionate about emotional support, development, and helping children feel safe and understood. I am very creative and imaginative, and I love coming up with fun activities, games, and ways to keep kids engaged and happy. I am also more than happy to provide a reference from my time at Build-A-Bear Workshop!
