Booked by 1 family in Monrovia, CA

My name is Kam, aged 60, living in Monterey Park. With 2 sons (aged 23 & 21), I was social-work & special education trained teacher in Hong Kong for 10 years, working with special-need children & teenage girls with family, behavioral & emotional problems. After immigrating to USA, I've been serving in church for kids from babies up to elementary schools for over 20 years. I’ve been a paid babysitter for kids from babies to 5-years old for 7 years. With patience, knowledge & skills, caring & loving heart, I love working with kids. I'll strive to provide a safe, fun, enjoyable environment, which your kid will grow happily.

“Wonderful, experienced, and she is just so lovely!!!”

Carolyn $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Carolyn, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping families feel supported. As a responsible, caring, and organized professional, I bring patience, reliability, and a positive attitude to every family I work with. I love engaging kids through reading, arts and crafts, games, outdoor activities, and creative play. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident knowing their little ones are in good hands. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether you need occasional date-night coverage, after-school care, help with homework, or an extra set of hands around the house, I'm here to help!

Carissa $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a responsible and patient caregiver with experience working with children of all ages, from infants to school-age students. I currently attend Liberty University and am majoring in Elementary Education, with a goal to become a teacher somewhere in the range of 1st-3rd grade. As part of my degree, I have completed several practicums in a classroom and several tutoring sessions as well, which included tutoring students in reading, writing, math, social studies, and science. I have also grown up babysitting since around the age of 13, so I am very familiar with creating a positive, fun, and safe environment for kids. I’m organized, reliable, and comfortable managing routines such as meals, homework, and bedtime. I love creating a positive, engaging environment through activities, learning, and play, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and building trust with every family I work with.

Keauntra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello. I have 10+ years working with kids from newborns to teenagers. I am also third oldest of seven kids, so some of that experience did come from watching my siblings growing up. I work in the food industry and have 14years experience. I have 2 elder dogs, they are a terrier mix that I had the opportunity of taking in as puppies (3-4 weeks,) they just turned 15 years, so I have experience with dogs, smaller dogs, but I love all dogs regardless. I mainly love baking and creating fun little treats but I do know my way around a kitchen as well. I’ve been a creative person my whole life, so both visual arts and performing arts are things I’m passionate about. I’m a very neat, organized and detail oriented person, so helping with household chores is something I can assist with as well. My fulltime job was affected by the LA fires (Jan. 2025) and I’ve yet to find another full time job to work in tandem with my part time job. I’m looking for something with a set schedule, and preferably something earlier in the day.
