Although I do not have formal training caregiving, I have had plenty of experience caregiving for younger family members as well as watching over pets for extended periods of time. I am a kind and caring person and I get along with children and pets very easily. I look forward to working with you! (^:

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.”
