Courtney $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a strong background in childcare, newborn support, and family care. I spent 3 years working as a preschool teacher, where I developed a love for creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments for children to learn and grow. In addition to teaching, I have over 5 years of nanny experience working closely with multiple families and supporting children through different stages of development. I am also a trained birth and postpartum doula as well as a newborn care specialist, which has allowed me to support families during some of the most important and vulnerable moments of their lives. My approach is calm, patient, attentive, and family-centered, with a focus on providing both emotional and practical support. Beyond childcare, I previously worked as a certified nurse’s assistant in senior living and rehabilitation centers, where I gained valuable hands-on caregiving experience and strengthened my ability to provide compassionate care to individuals of all ages. Outside of work, I’m a fur mom to two cats and recently said goodbye to my sweet senior dog who passed from old age.

Maria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Maria! I have 10+ years of experience working with children, starting with family and growing through trusted referrals. I'm warm, patient, and reliable, and I love keeping kids engaged through crafts, outdoor play, reading, and creative activities while maintaining structure with routines like meals, homework, and bedtime. I'm a UCLA graduate and have worked as a behavioral technician with children on the autism spectrum, which has made me adaptable, attentive, and supportive of each child's unique needs. I'm comfortable with school drop-offs/pick-ups, light household tasks, and pets. I have reliable transportation and always prioritize safety, communication, and creating a positive environment for both kids and parents. I am CPR CERTIFIED.

Sara $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sara, I’m 26 years old. My major is in stem and I graduated cum laude from San Francisco State University. I recently completed the teaching credential program at Cal State LA. I am currently applying to teach high school science (biology/anatomy/earth and space) for next school year. That being said my availability for summer is open! (^: I have work experience in mentoring/tutoring services, summer camp counseling, retail, medical administration at Cedars Sinai, and substitute teaching. Although I do not have formal training caregiving, I have had plenty of experience caregiving for younger family members as well as watching over pets for extended periods of time. I am a kind and caring person and I get along with children and pets very easily. I look forward to working with you! (^:
