Booked by 1 family in North Hills, CA

I have years of experience babysitting kids, from babies through 12 years old, and I raised two puppies until their old age, so I’m comfortable with dogs. I feel my greatest strengths are love for children, being trustworthy, reliable, and safety-minded, which includes CPR training. I can also do overnight babysitting or housesitting.

Alex $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Alex. I am 26, and offering child care, senior care, pet care, household & prep/ cooking services. I love kids, as my sister has a 1 year old, and I am a godparent to my aunts 7 year old. I am vegan for 9 years now, but that does not stop me; I have cooked for friends and families who majority eat regular foods. Also looking if anyone wants a chef, I love to cook. Currently with 1 family on Monday & Wednesday. I used to be in camp during the summers/winters when i was young. Then I became a camp counselor at the same camps that I went, when I was allowed and of age. I realized I love taking care of kids and did that for a couple years. I also used to volunteer at an elderly home for Alzheimer’s and retired patients during high school. I am familiar with more of being a friend, company while engaging with them, and playing games like bingo. Those were more my duties there. I’m fantastic at games, even blackjack and card games. I can drive to/from school, homework, crafts, tutoring, errands, clean/tidy up. I have a dog of mine, and used to have a cat with an ex partner, so very familiar with pets as well. I love both very much.

Xenia $22 per hour for 1 child

My name is Xenia. I believe in catering to a child's emotional and intellectual needs. I believe in explaining the reason for things versus telling a child "No". Instead, I will tell a child, "That's not something we put in our mouth because it's not food. We only put food and medicine in our mouth." In that way, the child is able to make the connection in its brain in a healthy and productive manner instead of bringing fear and rejection to the child. I love cats and dogs. I am open to babysit children, your fur babies, and perform light domestic work.
