Booked by 2 families in Reseda, CA

Hi! My name is Isabel, I’m 25 years old and grew up in the Burbank area as part of a close-knit family of five. I’ve been around children for as long as I can remember and have hands-on experience caring for kids between the ages of 1 to 10 years old. I especially enjoy working with children ages 1 to 5, as I believe this is a crucial time in their development—and I love being part of their growth, learning, and joy during these early years. I’m trilingual in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language (ASL), which I’ve found can be a fun and engaging way to help children learn to communicate in different ways. I’m also a recent graduate from California State University, Northridge (CSUN). In addition to childcare, I love staying active, doing arts and crafts, baking, and going on walks. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can express themselves, explore, and thrive.

Tashionna 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, my name is Tashi, I’ve been working with children and seniors for about a decade. I’m a total people’s person so I absolutely love what I do. I know that it is imperative to help the children are seniors that I’m working with to challenge themselves every day. I can help with a variety of things, cooking, cleaning and errands.

“We've met a number of different childcare providers, but no one like Tashionna. Our kids LOVE her! She is so good with them, our youngest always asks "when is Tashionna coming back?!" As parents, we appreciate that she is always reliable and professional. She also helps us out when we need a little extra flexibility. Every parent knows the value of that! Tashionna is bilingual and has been teaching our kids some Spanish. That was something we hadn't thought about, but the educational value of it was a nice surprise. Our oldest is in high school now and he really excels in his foreign language class, I know she was a big influence. She's a fantastic care-giver, we highly recommend her. - Claire”

Booked by 1 family in Reseda, CA

Hey there! My name is Gwendolyn, and I have over 15 years of babysitting experience. I have cared for children of all ages, including working as a summer nanny and supporting children on the spectrum. I especially enjoy working with creative and imaginative kids, and I love encouraging fun activities, crafts, and play. In addition to childcare, I regularly care for pets and have experience with senior dogs and cats, including administering medication. I am also available to assist as a household helper-whether that’s light cooking, cleaning, running errands, or helping with day-to-day tasks. And a bit about me: I love all things vintage fashion, Disney, and American Girl dolls. I’m really into history, storytelling, and creative hobbies, which is probably why I get along so well with imaginative kids. I’m friendly, reliable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know and build ongoing relationships with the families I work with.

“Gwen was so great. When I asked my 5 year old if he liked her he said “I love her” 🥰 Will definitely be hiring her again!”

Booked by 3 families in Reseda, CA

Hi – My name is Jordan. I’m originally from the Midwest, now living in Los Angeles, CA. I love babysitting and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, children and early adolescents since I was 12 years old. I have over 18 years of experience working with children. My mother owned a daycare in my childhood years, so my desire to tend to families developed at an early age from watching my mother. My previous responsibilities have included after school pick up/drop off, cooking, light housekeeping, overnights, running errands and tutoring. My former experience as a Montessori teacher’s assistant allows me to be great assisting with homework help and individualized education needs. I have 5+ references from families that I’ve built strong connections with long after my duties were completed, and I’m hoping to have that same lasting impression with your family as well 🤍 I look forward to letting you learn more about me and connecting you with my references to help you successfully mark one off one less thing on your ‘to-do’ list and provide the best childcare services to you! I will text or email my references to you (since the website does not show phone numbers). Cheers!

Juliette $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Juliette, and I’m a Psychology major at Boston College. I am originally from California. I’ve always loved working with children. I grew up babysitting for my neighbors. In high school, I ran an afterschool art program for 1st–4th graders, helping students express themselves and build confidence through creativity was a truly rewarding experience. I’m patient, dependable, and active, and I enjoy engaging kids through play, crafts, and reading. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and positive environment where children can thrive. I also love to cook and bake, am happy to help with homework and household tasks, and I’m comfortable caring for pets as well.
