Booked by 3 families in North Hills, CA

I have worked in a school setting for 9 years now working as a teacher assistant, a behavior therapist one on one for children with Autism, and providing services in home settings in addition to school settings. I also babysat for over a year full time while going to university. I graduated with my bachelors in psychology and my masters in counseling/clinical counseling. At this time, I am currently a high school counselor working full-time and have some time during the week in the evenings or on some weekends to babysit. I prefer picking up shifts occasionally. I am organized, responsible, trustworthy, punctual, empathetic, loving, friendly, and extremely playful. My empathetic nature has always benefited me when working with kids because they always gravitate towards me. I’m the oldest cousin in the family, so I was always in charge of taking care of my cousins when they were little. I’m a great caregiver because I like to ensure that everyone is safe.

“Zulma was fantastic! She was punctual, attentive, and followed all instructions perfectly. She was amazing with our 4-month-old son and even engaged wonderfully with our 5-year-old daughter, who she wasn’t there to watch. Highly recommend her!”

Alexandra 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Alexandra and I am 27 years old. From a very young age I have attracted and been surrounded by children, but my first paid experience in the US began two years ago, when I decided to travel to this country as an au pair and experienced a cultural exchange. I developed new skills with infants and toddlers, sleep training, meal prep, motor development, crafts, sensory activities, baby milestones and much more (considering I lived with them). I believe that children feed your soul, strengthen your personality, patience, discipline and dedication and that is why I love working with them. I'm CPR and first aid certified. I'd describe my personality as kind, bright and optimistic, and I'm looking for a job that provides me stability and a good atmosphere. I will be available the first week of October and I am located in The Valley.

“Alexa is the best babysitter I have ever had and she is still working with us full-time but we will be with family for holidays so hoping that she could be helpful for another family. I was nervous to leave my 4 month old with someone all day while my husband and I were both at work but Alexa has been so amazing I have no concerns that he is in wonderful hands. She proposed a sleeping and eating schedule and tidies while he sleeps, and is great at keeping him engaged with activities. She is also great with my 3.5 year old who is in preschool but is occasionally around as well. Happy to share more to anyone who is considering booking her!”

Bianca $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Bianca. I am 23 years old from the SFV area. I’ve been around kids my whole life. Starting since elementary school in 5th grade I was a “buddy” for the younger students because of my love and attention for children. I’ve worked with the City of LA for a couple of years now working at Canoga Park Youth Art Center for kids as well as Reseda Park recreation in the past as a CIT for the summer camp. I occasionally baby sit family members/friends kids. I love spending time the future generation and kids tend to warm up to me quickly. I’m responsible, have a 4 seater car and valid CA DL. I also love animals like of all kinds I have 3 of my own 2 dogs and a cat. I also love to clean and organize.

Booked by 3 families in North Hills, CA

Hi – My name is Jordan. I’m originally from the Midwest, now living in Los Angeles, CA. I love babysitting and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, children and early adolescents since I was 12 years old. I have over 18 years of experience working with children. My mother owned a daycare in my childhood years, so my desire to tend to families developed at an early age from watching my mother. My previous responsibilities have included after school pick up/drop off, cooking, light housekeeping, overnights, running errands and tutoring. My former experience as a Montessori teacher’s assistant allows me to be great assisting with homework help and individualized education needs. I have 5+ references from families that I’ve built strong connections with long after my duties were completed, and I’m hoping to have that same lasting impression with your family as well 🤍 I look forward to letting you learn more about me and connecting you with my references to help you successfully mark one off one less thing on your ‘to-do’ list and provide the best childcare services to you! I will text or email my references to you (since the website does not show phone numbers). Cheers!

Gwendolyn 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in North Hills, CA

Hey there! My name is Gwendolyn, and I have over 15 years of babysitting experience. I have cared for children of all ages, including working as a summer nanny and supporting children on the spectrum. I especially enjoy working with creative and imaginative kids, and I love encouraging fun activities, crafts, and play. In addition to childcare, I regularly care for pets and have experience with senior dogs and cats, including administering medication. I am also available to assist as a household helper-whether that’s light cooking, cleaning, running errands, or helping with day-to-day tasks. And a bit about me: I love all things vintage fashion, Disney, and American Girl dolls. I’m really into history, storytelling, and creative hobbies, which is probably why I get along so well with imaginative kids. I’m friendly, reliable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know and build ongoing relationships with the families I work with.

“Gwen was so great. When I asked my 5 year old if he liked her he said “I love her” 🥰 Will definitely be hiring her again!”
