Maya $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maya, and I’m a 20-year-old junior at UCLA, double majoring in Architecture and Geography. I’m originally from San Francisco and currently living in Los Angeles for school. I have several years of experience babysitting and have also worked as a camp counselor at the Bay Club for multiple summers, where I supervised groups of children of different ages, planned activities, handled conflict resolution, and ensured a safe and fun environment. Through this experience, I’ve developed strong skills in communication, patience, organization, creativity, and responsibility. I genuinely love working with kids and enjoy engaging them in games, crafts, outdoor activities, and homework help. I’m calm under pressure, attentive to children’s needs, and always prioritize safety while making sure kids feel supported and happy. I’m also very comfortable with pets and dog sitting, as I love animals and have experience caring for them as well. Whether it’s babysitting, caregiving, or pet sitting, I’m reliable, punctual, and take pride in being someone families can trust. I’d love the opportunity to support your family, feel free to reach out!

Ysabella $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi- My name is Bella. I work Monday- Thursday and am looking for a babysitting job for Fridays. I am the oldest of 3 and started babysitting when I was 15. I have 10+ years of experience with ages 4 months and up. I have 7 yrs of experience working with children with Downs Syndrome as well. I am comfortable with kids going through periods of being fussy or having a hard time being away from their parents. I like to keep them engaged with whatever fits their developmental stage whether that be reading books, singing, going to the park, or playing games around the house. If the kids have chores or responsibilities around the house I will make sure they get done if needed. I am CRP and first aid certified and have had experience with medical emergencies. Those moments showed me the importance of being trained in life saving procedures. I am proud to say in those moments my training helped me stay calm and take appropriate action. I have a Honda Civic and don’t mind taking kids places or running errands. I am open to light house keeping like dishes, laundry, and cooking. I grew up in Petaluma and am very close with my family. In my free time I enjoy exploring the city, hiking, and hanging out with friends.
