"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Hi, I'm a college student who loves to help others! When I’m not working with children at a museum, I’m looking after families like yours. I use empathy, patience, and years of experience to care for your loved ones. I have reliable transportation and am always ready on short notice. I’d love to meet and assist you in any way possible!
“Ruby is a wonderful babysitter—calm, intelligent, and compassionate. She quickly understands what needs to be done, takes initiative without being asked, and is always ready to help in any situation. Her thoughtful and gentle approach creates a safe, happy environment for children, and her quick thinking gives parents peace of mind. Highly recommended. ”

Catherine $24 per hour for 1 child
Hello, and thank you for connecting. My name is Catherine, and I am a Los Angeles Native. I have my Master's degree in Educational Counseling and my B.S. in Rehabilitation Counseling. I have functioned as a professional advocate for 30 years. I have had the privilege of serving individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families throughout Southern California. My experience working with children began in parks and recreation, and lastly as a school counselor in the public school system. Throughout the years, I have been around children with and without developmental barriers to learning and physical challenges. I enjoy being around young-hearted people as they learn about life and themselves. Serving adults with various abilities to be as independent as possible is fantastic because, just like me, everyone wants to be the king/queen of their castle. I appreciate life and all that it offers, learning and being active on my bicycle, walking, playing catch with another, and going to the library are how I enjoy my precious time. I am here to be of service. Please feel free to contact me with any specific questions to help me best meet your child's and or adult care needs. Current Virtus (Protecting God's Children). C.E.R.T.
