"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Vanessa $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi, my name is Vanessa, and I look forward to meeting you! I recently graduated from UCLA and currently work part-time on weekends. I am interested in providing baby and childcare services, as well as occasional pet care. I have been babysitting since my teenage years. My knowledge of baby care is still fresh, especially since my baby niece is turning two. While it may seem easy, having an extra hand is always helpful. I possess a driver's license and own a car, which has allowed me to commute from residential areas to highways. I am comfortable with pickups and drop-offs, and I'm also okay with running quick, easy errands. NOTE: I am also open to pet and house-sitting
Crystal $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello, I'm Crystal I’m a mother of two teenagers and have always loved working with children. For the past four years, I’ve worked as a paraprofessional in a school, supporting children from kindergarten through third grade. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and understanding each child’s individual needs. I truly enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, caring, and positive environment for them. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, visiting museums, and watching movies. As a babysitter, my goal is not only to care for your children but also to help parents feel confident, comfortable, and reassured while they’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children, and I would treat your family with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

$25 per hour for 1 child
$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.”
