Jacqueline V 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jacqueline, but you can call me Jackie or Jax. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I consider it my backyard and love exploring its ever-changing face. I have been a mother's helper since I was 12, and at 16, I had the honor of babysitting and nannying alone. People may call me a people pleaser, but I truly enjoy being part of the village and helping people and animals, any which way. It has always been fulfilling to me. Life gets super busy, so an extra helping hand doesn't hurt anyone. I am currently at Santa Monica College pursuing a nursing degree. Thanks for taking the time to read about me, and I look forward to working with you.

“Jax has been an incredible person to have around my son. She has such positive energy and is so creative with activities. I would recommend her to any friend or stranger. She is always reliable and easy to communicate with. In addition, she is always great around our dog. My son has so much fun with her and she really encourages him to be independent and try things.”

Booked by 1 family in Panorama City, CA

I aim to bring a sense of calm to busy families and always look for ways to ease parents' mental load by helping around the house. I've cared for kids of all ages from infants to teenagers and love finding fun and creative ways to engage kids in imaginative play. Whether your kids love sports, science, art, music, or maybe a cool niche hobby I've never heard of, I'm ready to meet them where they're at offering my full presence and attention.

“Our daughter absolutely loves Kat!! We feel so grateful and lucky!!! Kat has such great energy and presence! She’s completely engaged with our daughter and a wonderful person too! Reliable, sweet and a natural with kids! We couldn’t ask for anything more in a babysitter!! Beyond happy and thank you sooo much!! ”

Xitlali $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Xitlali, and I’m a current student at USC studying neuroscience. I’ve always enjoyed working with children and hope to continue working with kids in my future career. I have experience caring for children ages 3–9 through both babysitting and tutoring. I’m patient, attentive, and love creating a fun and comfortable environment where kids can learn, play, and be themselves. Outside of school and babysitting, I enjoy knitting, crocheting, cooking, and reading. I also absolutely love animals and would be happy to help care for pets as part of my time with your family! I’m excited to provide dependable, caring support for your little ones. :)

Shannan $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Shannan, an artistpreneuer, here to help you relieve any scheduling pressure. I was a reading interventionist for 5 years for Marietta School System in Atlanta. I've also remotely tutored elementary age students with Reading Partners LA . If your child needs help reading, I'd love to get them on their reading level. During my busy season, I facilitate youth workshops for churches, schools and youth programs to show them the importance of being a servant leader. I was a caretaker for about 2 years as a companion for Seniors doing private duty care. My heart is soft for elders and children. Kindness is what I lead with so I'm dependable and patient. I am a humble servant leader. Careful. I value respect. Transparency, cleanliness, honesty and integrity are traits of my "ideal" clients' family. While I don't have any children of my own, I love the 13 neices and nephews I've been blessed with. Your loved one will be in good hands with me. I love music and marketing. Occasionally, I produce poetry events and I like watching documentaries on PBS. Im a life learner. I love the Lord and I work for him. Hoping to hear from you soon! Shannan
