Hi! My name is Kayla. I've spent the last ten years caring for children of all ages. Whether it's infants, toddlers, or teenagers, I'm extremely comfortable around kids and willing to learn and adapt to best care for your child or children! When it comes to taking care of your child, I enjoy outdoor adventures in the park, reading books, and baking sweet treats (with your permission, of course). My goal is to ensure your child stays happy and comfortable while you're away! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. I'm usually available early mornings, midday, and late nights, and I can accept last minute bookings. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones!

“Kayla was early, giving us time to review instructions, answer any questions. Both minis took to her quickly. My 4 year old wanted to give her 100 stars, he looks forward to seeing her again.”

Hello! My name is Emily and I’m currently a Junior at UCLA. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been caring for others since I was about 10 years old, starting with my younger siblings, and have worked with children of all ages—from infants to teens. I don’t have a specific age preference to work with, as I love caring for all kids, and believe each age brings their own fun adventure. I love getting creative with kids through crafts, games, educational fun, and outdoor play, and I’m happy to help with homework (have experience as a tutor), light cooking, and bedtime routines. I have a Husky of my own named Max and lots of experience with many dog breeds and cats as well. I can assist with walking, feeding, playtime, and giving your furry babies the love and attention they need. I also offer household help such as cleaning, laundry, cooking, organizing, and running errands. I can bring my own cleaning supplies if needed. I’m dependable, upbeat, and passionate about creating a safe, caring environment for every family I work with!

“Emily was great with my toddler! Will be rebooking in the future and would recommend to others. ”

Leila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have been babysitting since I was 10 years old as I am the oldest of 5 children. I currently work at Stanford Children’s Hospital as a Patient Companion and my duties were similar to babysitting duties and much more. I have worked at Stanford Children’s Hospital for nearly 4 years and previous to that I worked in senior homes as a CNA. I also have my CPR/BLS certification in pediatrics and adults. I have also volunteered to provide companionship to seniors in hospice care! My experience at Stanford has taught me so much about children such as how to promote developmental skills, newborn care, or even keep kids entertained while maintaining a safe environment. I have a bachelors in public health and a minor in women’s health issues and I am currently pursuing nursing school! I am relocating from the Bay Area which is why I have to resign from my job at Stanford Children’s, but I look forward to sitting for you!!
