“Kia immediately felt like a great match for our family. Our daughters enjoyed playing with her and said she was kind and fun. They are excited to have her back. She was communicative and flexible. I would enthusiastically recommend her to others. Thanks, Kia! ”
I’m a very empathetic, patient, and playful person who truly enjoys spending time with children. I love teaching, creating activities, and helping them learn and grow. I have 7 years of babysitting experience with kids from 1 month old to 16 years old, and I’ve also taught ballet and Spanish. I hold a Degree in Social Communication and another in Acting, and I’m certified in First Aid and CPR by the Red Cross. I lead a healthy, active lifestyle and value nature, creativity, gratitude, and keeping a positive environment for kids. I love babysitting because children are naturally imaginative, curious, and full of joy, I love being part of that.
“Natasha was punctual and immediately fell into step trying to help and be thoughtful . Easy to trust and loved having her in our home . A+ ”
Hello! I'm Maya. I have over 13 years of experience working with children of all ages. I am punctual, caring, patient, energetic, clean, and organized. I enjoy spending time with kids outdoors, whether it's taking them to the park or going for walks. Thank you for your time and consideration! :)
Unavailable for full-time nanny positions Hi! I’m a dependable, warm, and experienced caregiver with over 15 years of childcare experience and 67 repeat families since joining this platform in 2016. I work full-time as an HR Generalist in Los Angeles during the week and provide babysitting support for families seeking consistent, reliable care from someone they can truly trust. As the second oldest of seven siblings, caring for children has always been second nature to me. While I have experience with children ranging from 6 weeks through 15 years old, I especially enjoy working with toddlers and preschool-aged children (approximately 1–5 years old). I’m patient, attentive, and nurturing, and I focus on creating a calm, structured, and engaging environment through age-appropriate play, outdoor time, routines, and gentle guidance. Families often describe me as dependable, communicative, and easy to work with. I’m comfortable managing bedtime routines, light meal prep, transitions, and following household preferences to ensure continuity of care. Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering in the community, traveling, hiking, Olympic weightlifting (which emphasizes focus, discipline, and safety), running, and unwinding with a good book. I typically respond to booking requests within a couple of hours during the workweek. I look forward to building long-term relationships with families and being a trusted part of your child’s care team. Important note: At the time of booking, please let me know if your child is currently ill, recovering from an illness, has special needs, diabetes, or requires any specific care considerations. This helps ensure I can provide the best care possible and avoid any last-minute misunderstandings.
“Susanna was great with my 2yr old daughter! She was warm and friendly. I look forward to hiring her again!”
Hello Parents, my name is Deanna. I am a certified postpartum doula and childcare professional with over 10 years of experience caring for children from infancy through elementary school age. Families trust me because I combine expertise, patience, and a warm, dependable presence. I specialize in newborn and infant care—supporting feeding, sleep routines, and early development—but I also love engaging with toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. Whether it’s creating structured play for little ones, helping with homework, or keeping kids active and entertained, I tailor my approach to meet each child’s needs. What I provide: • Safe, nurturing care for infants with focus on early milestones • Creative and educational play for toddlers and preschoolers • Homework help and after-school support for elementary-age children • Calm, reliable presence that gives parents peace of mind • Household support to ease busy family routines Parents often describe me as professional, patient, and someone their children connect with right away. I understand the trust it takes to invite someone into your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. If you’re looking for a caregiver who can grow with your family—supporting your little one from the baby stage all the way through the school years—I’d love to connect. If your interested in booking me, please read my policy. Once you have scheduled a job with me, I assume you agree to the terms of this agreement. I look forward to meeting your family! Payment Policy: I plan my time and budget according to hours booked, so I require that I am paid for the entire booking regardless of hours actually worked. Booking Policy: If your looking to book me, I have a 4 hour minimum. (except for interviews) Cancellation Policy: Since I am requested by a lot of parents, I need a 24 to 48 hour notice of cancellation so I can book another family. If you do not cancel within that time frame, I request half payment of what would have made during the original booking. If I must cancel because I am either sick or have an emergency. I will make every effort to find you a replacement sitter. Additionally, on the next job, I will babysit an hour for free since I know cancelling can be an inconvenience.
“Deanna is amazing and we couldn't recommend her more highly. She has saved the day on more than one occasion, is super friendly, always comes up with fun things to do with the kids, and most importantly, our kids love her. She's also fun to have around the house. Five sparkly stars.”
