Gabriela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi – my name is Gabriela. I’m a college graduate and currently work part-time. I’m offering child care, senior care, and household support services. I’ve worked with toddlers and school-aged children through babysitting jobs, as an activities coordinator, after-school coach and as a Teacher’s Assistant. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing snacks, organizing fun activities, or handling school pick-ups, I love creating a safe and engaging environment where kids feel supported and cared for. In addition to child care, I’m experienced with household tasks like cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I’m organized, dependable, and happy to help make your daily routine a little easier. Please let me know if you'd think we would be a good fit or if you have any questions!

Giselle $27 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced educator with 5 years of working with children, including 2 years as a teacher, 1 year as a substitute teacher, and 2 years as a teacher assistant. I primarily work with children ages 6–8 but have experience supporting students from TK through 12th grade. Before my professional career, I regularly babysat younger cousins, helping me develop patience, responsibility, and strong caregiving skills. I also earned my CNA and Home Health Aide certifications in 2022 and gained hands-on experience providing care and support to seniors. I am nurturing, dependable, energetic, and highly disciplined. My commitment to fitness has strengthened my consistency, time management, and responsibility, which I carry into all areas of my life through habits like meal prepping, staying organized, and planning ahead. I enjoy connecting with children through activities like soccer, crafts, and creative play, and my background in education and caregiving allows me to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for those in my care.

Lizette $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Tujunga, CA

I'm a nurturing and experienced caregiver-and a mother with over 16 years of experience as a nanny, after-school playground worker, site coordinator, volunteer, and teacher's aide. My background has given me a deep understanding of child development and early education. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development from California State University, Northridge, in 2013, and I'm passionate about creating a safe, fun, and enriching environment where children can learn, explore, and grow. I love incorporating outdoor play, creativity, and hands-on learning into daily activities. As both a parent and a dedicated caregiver, I understand the importance of fostering a nurturing and engaging space for little ones. I'm excited to connect with a family looking for a thoughtful, experienced, and compassionate nanny. Let's work together to create a supportive and stimulating environment for your child!
