Booked by 3 families in Tujunga, CA

I have worked in a school setting for 9 years now working as a teacher assistant, a behavior therapist one on one for children with Autism, and providing services in home settings in addition to school settings. I also babysat for over a year full time while going to university. I graduated with my bachelors in psychology and my masters in counseling/clinical counseling. At this time, I am currently a high school counselor working full-time and have some time during the week in the evenings or on some weekends to babysit. I prefer picking up shifts occasionally. I am organized, responsible, trustworthy, punctual, empathetic, loving, friendly, and extremely playful. My empathetic nature has always benefited me when working with kids because they always gravitate towards me. I’m the oldest cousin in the family, so I was always in charge of taking care of my cousins when they were little. I’m a great caregiver because I like to ensure that everyone is safe.

“Zulma was fantastic! She was punctual, attentive, and followed all instructions perfectly. She was amazing with our 4-month-old son and even engaged wonderfully with our 5-year-old daughter, who she wasn’t there to watch. Highly recommend her!”

I'm only looking for occasional jobs because I have kids myself! Available on short notice! I was born in Russia, then moved to Finland at a young age . I have traveled a lot and lived in many countries. I speak 3 languages: English, Russian and Finnish. Russian is my native language. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in International Sales and Marketing from Haaga-Helia University in Finland. I love babysitting, teaching children something new and exploring the world with them. P.S. Please call me Kate :)

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!

$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”
