Hello! My name is Emily and I’m currently a Junior at UCLA. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been caring for others since I was about 10 years old, starting with my younger siblings, and have worked with children of all ages—from infants to teens. I don’t have a specific age preference to work with, as I love caring for all kids, and believe each age brings their own fun adventure. I love getting creative with kids through crafts, games, educational fun, and outdoor play, and I’m happy to help with homework (have experience as a tutor), light cooking, and bedtime routines. I have a Husky of my own named Max and lots of experience with many dog breeds and cats as well. I can assist with walking, feeding, playtime, and giving your furry babies the love and attention they need. I also offer household help such as cleaning, laundry, cooking, organizing, and running errands. I can bring my own cleaning supplies if needed. I’m dependable, upbeat, and passionate about creating a safe, caring environment for every family I work with!
“Emily was great with my toddler! Will be rebooking in the future and would recommend to others. ”
I am a 22-year-old who recently graduated from the University of California, Irvine with a bachelor’s degree in Sociology, and I plan to start a respiratory therapy program this March. I am Mexican American and the youngest of seven siblings. I can cook basic meals, and I have a driver’s license. My interests include reading and trying new coffee shops. I also enjoy arts and crafts.
I’m a nursing student with previous experience working with children at a daycare center. I also have nieces and nephews, so I’m very comfortable caring for kids of different ages. I’m BLS certified, responsible, patient, and focused on creating a safe, caring, and fun environment for every child I care for :)
Hello my name is Priscilla, I have over 9 years of experience working in preschool settings as both a teacher's assistant and a lead teacher. During COVID, I supported families by providing in-home preschool instruction and assisting with virtual learning for kindergarten students. I recently graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, with an emphasis in Child Development, and I am passionate about supporting children as they learn, grow, and thrive. Along with childcare, I'm happy to help with light housekeeping, errands, and meal prep. I also have an 8-seater minivan and a clean driving record, making me available for safe and reliable carpooling when needed. For the past four years, I've been a stay-at-home mom, which has further deepened my understanding of the patience, care, and creativity that young children need. | look forward to partnering with your family and providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your child.
Hi! My name is Kayla. I've spent the last ten years caring for children of all ages. Whether it's infants, toddlers, or teenagers, I'm extremely comfortable around kids and willing to learn and adapt to best care for your child or children! When it comes to taking care of your child, I enjoy outdoor adventures in the park, reading books, and baking sweet treats (with your permission, of course). My goal is to ensure your child stays happy and comfortable while you're away! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. I'm usually available early mornings, midday, and late nights, and I can accept last minute bookings. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones!
“Kayla was early, giving us time to review instructions, answer any questions. Both minis took to her quickly. My 4 year old wanted to give her 100 stars, he looks forward to seeing her again.”
