Hello my name is Arianna & I am a child development graduate from CSULA. I have experience working with elementary, middle, and high school students primarily in school settings. I’ve worked for after school programming and provided enrichment activities and tutoring. I’m interested in babysitting even though I’ve had no experience. However, being in schools feels very much like it. Thank you for the opportunity!

Emma $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emma, I have earned my Associate degree in Early Childhood Education at Pasadena City College in June 2025. I am currently studying Early Childhood Studies at Cal Poly Pomona, and I am also halfway through my AMI Montessori training program. These experiences are helping me deepen my understanding of child development and early education. I’m offering child care services and have experience working with children from 6 months to 10 years old. I’ve been babysitting since I was 17, and I truly love caring for young children, supporting their development, and creating fun, engaging experiences for them. As the oldest of four sisters, I’ve always been around little ones and naturally took on a caregiving role from a young age. It definitely sparked my love for working with children and helped shape who I am today—patient, nurturing, and always ready to help. I am CPR and First Aid certified (as of January 2025), and I’ve also observed Montessori classrooms, so I’m familiar with child-led learning and respectful caregiving approaches. I’m originally from France and speak both French and English fluently. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include baking, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and helping with homework or reading. I’m creative, patient, and very reliable, and I always aim to create a safe and joyful environment for children to grow. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more or schedule a time to chat. I’d love to meet you and your little one(s)!

Julian $25 per hour for 1 child

I have been a high school English teacher for seven years, serving public and private school communities. I received my education in English Literature from Biola University, with specialized study at Oxford University, and attended Humboldt State University for my teaching credentialing program. While most of my teaching experience is with high school students, I have also been a care taker for younger children as well. Really, I just think all kids are pretty goofy and great! And as a teacher, getting to see their personalities come out and alive has been the best part of my job. I look forward to serving your family!

Stephanie $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant with over 30 years of childcare experience, caring for children from newborns through teens. I’m also certified in CPR, First Aid, and BLS. I’m patient, nurturing, and dependable, and I enjoy helping children learn through reading, singing, games, and creative play. I also have experience caring for elderly women, including those living with dementia and Parkinson’s disease, as well as those receiving hospice care. I believe everyone deserves kindness, dignity, and compassionate attention. I’m happy to help with children’s meals, bottle washing, children’s laundry, and light housekeeping related to their care. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment while giving families peace of mind that their loved ones are well cared for.
