Amairani $25 per hour for 1 child

I have nearly three years of babysitting experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. (Im currently working in Hospitality in Marina Del Rey as Front desk) I’m a patient, dependable, and caring person who truly enjoys spending time with kids and supporting their growth in a safe and nurturing environment. I’m knowledgeable about basic child safety practices and CPR/first aid awareness, and I always prioritize children’s well-being and comfort. I keep kids engaged with creative play, reading, outdoor time (if parents allow it) , and simple learning activities. Happy to help with simple meal prep for children, homework support, and light tidying related to the kids. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and believe communication with parents is very important. I make sure families feel comfortable and confident knowing their children are being cared for. Happy to work with you.

Azalia $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Azalia and I am currently in my last semester of school. I am offering babysitting and dog-sitting services. I believe that I am great with kids and I enjoy creating a fun space for them. I have experience caring for toddlers between the ages of 3 and 6 years old and limited experience with caring for infants. I eventually want to become a child therapist after graduating from college, so having more experience with children would be amazing for me. I like to create fun activities for kids like creating art, playing games, just activities that would keep them busy! I have a BLS certification as well. I am very patient with kids, so I think my personality is perfect for babysitting!
