Gigi $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! I’m Gigi and I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting since high school and worked at a daycare throughout college, giving me experience caring for children of all ages with most of my time being spent with toddlers! I’m also a dog owner to a boxer and a bulldog/pit mix, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets. I’m responsible, patient, and reliable, and am happy to help with activities, homework, meals, daily routines, bedtime, and household tasks. Heads up- I do work full time so my availability is early mornings during the week, late nights, and free all weekends! Excited to work with you and your family! :)

Elizabeth $23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Topanga, CA

Hello! My name is Elizabeth and I'm currently entering my third year of college at Pepperdine University. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love working with kids and have been responsible for toddlers and kids of all ages since I was 13 years old. My responsibilities include driving to/from school, tutoring, as well as tidying up and run errands. I have had a few dogs myself and am experienced with feeding and walking but am open to learn to working with any pet! I have acquired my experience through being an older sister to my three younger siblings, a summer camp counselor since 8th grade for ages K-9th as well as a girls club counselor.

Carly $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Carly, and I’m an 18-year-old high school senior graduating in 2026. I’m looking to gain more babysitting experience as I prepare to pursue a nanny career this summer. I’ve been around children my entire life. I come from a big family and helped care for my younger cousins from a young age. I also helped care for my best friend Ned for four years, which taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness early on. Growing up in after-school programs further helped me learn how to interact with children of all ages, play fairly, and understand right from wrong. Since age 16, I’ve worked in restaurants, including Shake Shack and currently as a Starbucks barista. These roles strengthened my communication skills, punctuality, honesty, and cleanliness. I interact with children daily and genuinely enjoy helping them. Kids naturally gravitate toward me, and I love supporting families. I’m hardworking, reliable, and ready to adapt to your family’s needs. While I’m not currently CPR/First Aid certified, I have hands-on experience and am happy to get certified if required. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Amrawit $20 per hour for 1 child

I have a bachelor’s degree in International Affairs, and I’ve been babysitting for the past 3 years. I currently babysit and have experience caring for children of different ages, and I really enjoy keeping them engaged through activities, walks, games, and just having fun together. I love caregiving because I genuinely enjoy being around kids and being someone they can feel comfortable and safe with. A little something about me: I’m a big soccer fan, love being outdoors, and I’m always up for a fun activity or adventure!

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.
