Hello! - I’m khya! A 27 year old San Antonio native residing in Hollywood! I’ve been an LA resident for over 5 years now and came to the area through a film and music scholarship. I graduated from UT-Austin with a B.S. in Communications and media studies. Now I work as a coach for an after school program, teaching kids 12-18 tech-design skills. Music production, film, robotics, programming, and game development to name a few. I’ve been a babysitter since high school and has volunteered with children learning the arts, since college. I’m comfortable with caring for 3 kiddos max and as a daughter of a nurse, I can assist with senior care! I am also available for house sits, light household responsibilities, appointment assistance, tutoring, and crafts. Currently I am open for Part-time work only. For date nights specifically, but can work for day time care if scheduled ahead of time. If you can not communicate timely, I am not the sitter for you. My pricing is also FINAL. I’m with my students Tuesday after 3pm and Sats. before 2:30pm. I have no problem being scheduled after or before these shifts as well. Availability is open but will temp close off in Oct.. Please message me for any questions about my skills and availability!
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!
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!
Hi! My name is Olivia, and I am from New York but have been living in LA for almost 4 years. I have 6-7 years of experience of working with kids from teaching skiing, nannying, and regular babysitting. In the past I would play board games, paint, and anything outdoors. My full time job is as an art director so I lean on the creative side to do painting, drawing, etc with the kiddos. Hope we can connect soon!
Hi! My name is Kate, and I’d love to support your family with reliable, attentive, and engaging part-time childcare, including evenings and weekends. I currently work full-time at a family law center and truly enjoy working with children and families. I’m a Colgate University graduate and an incoming student at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. I have extensive tutoring and babysitting experience, along with a lifetime of hands-on childcare from growing up with three younger siblings. I am also lifeguard certified and have previous experience as a swimming instructor. I’m responsible, patient, and organized, and I prioritize creating a safe, positive environment, whether that means helping with homework, doing crafts, playing outdoors, reading together, or supporting bedtime routines. I also bring strong academic support experience, including homework help, organization, and study skills. I specialize in standardized test preparation and college readiness (177 LSAT, 34 ACT), but always tailor my approach to each child’s age and learning style. Families describe me as dependable, communicative, and calm under pressure. I’m happy to assist with light tidying, simple meal prep, and maintaining household routines. I look forward to connecting with your family!
