I am only looking for Babysitting jobs. No Nanny jobs. I prefer children 3 plus years old. I have 2 grown boys who played a lot of sports. I can play with your kids outside. I have dogs.I have had cats and a horse. I can run errands with my own car.
Background: I have taught in preschool settings all around the LA/Ventura area for about 9 years now with primarily the 2-5 age range. My background is in child development which I’ve studied in college. I got into the field when I interned at a local family resource center where I organized lesson plans and play groups for infants and toddlers. I consider myself a lifelong learner and study the Reggio Emilia approach and RIE philosophy with a passion as it tends to inspire my provocations. I was a full time teacher at a child development center in Ventura, California - its focus was on nature-based learning, also known as the outdoor classroom approach. I stepped away from that career path in early June 2026 to explore creative paths. Please note I do have some previous full/part-time nannying experience (with infants/toddlers). About Me: I like to go by Andi and I enjoy attempting latte art at home, hitting the gym, lap swimming, walking my dog wherever there’s an ocean view, baking and traveling to tropical places! I speak fluent English and Spanish Fine Print: •4 hour minimum per booking •Short Notice Cancellation Fee: 50% of booking total if cancelled within 24hrs of start time. •If anyone in your household has been sick within 72 hours of booking, please cancel said booking. I do not consent to working with sick children. I work with multiple families, including infants, and I want to ensure the health and well-being of everyone involved. I will also be transparent about my own health status. •All hours booked are considered “guaranteed hours” in terms of pay, even if I am relieved early or for any other reason. •Cash, Zelle and Venmo preferred! 😊
Hello! I am currently a grad student in School Psychology looking to earn some income. I have 5 years experience in working with kids. I worked at the YMCA in their after school and summer programs.

Hello, my name is Karen. I'm a mother of two boys, 9 and 11. I currently work at a school with visually impaired kids and kids with disabilities for the past 11 years. I have experience working with infants through teenagers.
