I am a compassionate and dependable caregiver with extensive experience supporting children, and pets. Over the years, I have helped families with childcare, and pet care, always focusing on creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. With children, I bring patience, creativity, and consistency, helping with daily routines, homework, and activities that keep them engaged and learning. In addition to direct care, I am highly organized and detail-oriented, assisting with household needs, errands, and keeping things running smoothly.

Eden $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am an LA transplant from the Washington, DC area. I have years of experience working with children of busy corporate and government employees during the summers when school is out. I'm a big kid myself--I love video games and outdoor activities! I am a former cheerleader and gymnast and love playing sports with little ones. One of my first jobs was at a sports complex where I taught children from 18 months-5 years old motor skills playing soccer! Working with children is a joy for me. I also have lots of experience with cats, bigger dogs, and turtles! (Fun fact: I grew up with a turtle that is now 25 years old) I am open to the opportunity to care for alternative pets as well.

Sophia $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Pacoima, CA

Hi! I’m Sophia 🌿 I have twenty years of experience working with children in a variety of settings—supporting kids on the autism spectrum (ages 2–18), working as a summer camp counselor teaching kayaking, and spending summers working at a beach camp in Santa Monica with kids ages 3–13. As well as an away camp working with kids of all ages for a summer when I was 18. I’ve also assisted in a Montessori classroom for ages 3–6 and have two sweet nephews (Ray Ray, 12, and Theo, 8) whom I adore and have helped care for regularly. I have been babysitting for different families since I was 12 years old. I studied psychology at the University of Colorado Boulder, where I developed a deep love for the outdoors. Whether I’m hiking, biking, or surfing, being in nature is a big part of my life. I love working with children because it brings out my playful and nurturing side. I’m known for being calm, kind, and grounded, and I bring a lot of presence and care into the spaces I hold with kids. Friends and colleagues often describe me as genuine, patient, and full of heart. Fun facts about me: I love swing dancing, singing circles, and playing the ukulele. I’m also a certified Reiki Master and integrative health coach and run a coaching business focused on healing and personal growth. I bring emotional attunement, nervous system regulation and loving presence into my childcare. I’m currently looking for a summer position and am available until mid-September. Looking forward to connecting with you and your family!
