Find a last-minute babysitter in Panorama City, CA

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.

Hi, I’m Lauren. I’m a Los Angeles–based childcare provider currently studying at the LA Film School, offering attentive, l care for children and families. I have been working with children since I was 15 and bring extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I spent three summers as a camp counselor, where I was responsible for large groups of young children, including up to 30 three-year-olds at once. In that role, I led structured programming such as educational music, dance, and beginner swim instruction, while also supporting children with a range of needs, including those on the autism spectrum. This background has made me highly adaptable, calm under pressure, and deeply attentive to each child’s individual personality and needs. I am comfortable managing daily routines, coordinating school drop-offs and pick-ups, and maintaining a well-structured, organized environment. I drive a Honda Pilot and can provide safe, reliable transportation when needed. Alongside childcare, I have experience in education as a Teacher’s Assistant for Film Production at Santa Barbara City College, where I supported and mentored students in a structured academic setting. I bring a creative, thoughtful approach to my work and especially enjoy fostering imagination, confidence, and curiosity through hands-on, screen-free activities. I am reliable and highly respectful of the home environment. I understand the level of trust required in this role and prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication at all times. My goal is to provide a calm, engaging, and supportive presence that families can fully rely on.

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!

AVAILABLE FOR BACKUP CARE TRUSTLINE REGISTERED Not too long ago it was a tradition for an extended family member to step in as a caregiver for working parents. Now, there are many families who have moved to a new city for a career without a family member nearby. I specialize in taking loving care of children in my role as caregiver. I strive to prepare healthy kid-friendly meals and snacks for children. And I make use of other sites to find activities for little learners. I can keep your child engaged with reading books aloud and other fun and educational activities. I am very resourceful and patient with a sense of humor! For the past couple of years, I have worked as a nanny in share, and with one child alone. Those parents are very willing to be a reference for me. And I had a very successful run in Washington DC with many families from the region. Maybe I have cared for your family or friends in DC; I have more than 400 bookings there. I really look forward to working with your family!
