Hulya $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hulya, and I am a caring, responsible, and dependable person who enjoys spending time with children. I am a former dentist, which has given me strong skills in patience, communication, attention to detail, and maintaining a safe and healthy environment. Throughout my life, I have had experience caring for children, starting with my younger brother. I helped take care of him when he was a baby and continued to support and look after him as he grew older. This experience taught me the importance of responsibility, empathy, and creating a nurturing atmosphere. Since moving to the United States, I have also been doing occasional babysitting for families in my community. Through these experiences, I have cared for children of different ages, helping with playtime, meals, homework, bedtime routines, and ensuring they feel comfortable and secure while their parents are away. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to provide attentive, patient, and individualized care. My goal is to create a positive, safe, and engaging environment where children can have fun, learn, and feel supported. I would be honored to help your family and provide reliable childcare you can trust.

Olivia $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I am from New York but have been living in LA for almost 4 years. I have 6-7 years of experience of working with kids from teaching skiing, nannying, and regular babysitting. In the past I would play board games, paint, and anything outdoors. My full time job is as an art director so I lean on the creative side to do painting, drawing, etc with the kiddos. Hope we can connect soon!

Kate $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kate, and I’d love to support your family with reliable, attentive, and engaging part-time childcare, including evenings and weekends. I currently work full-time at a family law center and truly enjoy working with children and families. I’m a Colgate University graduate and an incoming student at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. I have extensive tutoring and babysitting experience, along with a lifetime of hands-on childcare from growing up with three younger siblings. I am also lifeguard certified and have previous experience as a swimming instructor. I’m responsible, patient, and organized, and I prioritize creating a safe, positive environment, whether that means helping with homework, doing crafts, playing outdoors, reading together, or supporting bedtime routines. I also bring strong academic support experience, including homework help, organization, and study skills. I specialize in standardized test preparation and college readiness (177 LSAT, 34 ACT), but always tailor my approach to each child’s age and learning style. Families describe me as dependable, communicative, and calm under pressure. I’m happy to assist with light tidying, simple meal prep, and maintaining household routines. I look forward to connecting with your family!

I love planning fun activities, reading stories, doing arts and crafts, playing outdoors, and encouraging creativity while maintaining routines and structure. I can help with meal preparation, light housekeeping related to the children, school or activity drop-offs and pick-ups, bedtime routines, and keeping play areas clean and organized.

Deborah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Deborah Cohen and I would be happy to help out childcare and pet care. I have over 8 years experience taking care of children. I started off volunteering in my teens at my local church, taking care of multiple children of all ages. I eventually took care of a sweet little girl until she was 5 years old. I currently help out a family taking care of two boys. I enjoy being outside with kids, reading with them and playing games. I have experience with homework help, meal planning, baking, and doing crafts. I enjoy interacting with kids and I’m very patient. I also have experience with taking care of cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with animals and then was a pet sitter for my sister. I’ve done pet sitting for several years and have experience with dog walking, distributing medication, and feeding. I’m also open to house sitting. I look forward to helping out in any way
