Hi, I’m Izzy! I recently moved to LA from Northern California, where I was born and raised. I’m an actor who loves working with kids and bringing creativity, patience, and care into everything I do. I graduated from UC Berkeley in Spring 2024 with a degree in Theater and Performance Studies and a minor in Dance, which really shows up in how I connect with kids through movement, imagination, and play. Over the years, I’ve worked with numerous families, caring for children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers. I also spent several summers working at my former preschool during high school, which gave me early hands-on experience in a nurturing and structured environment. I’ve often helped with pet care too, including walking dogs, feeding pets, and keeping them happy and safe while families are out or busy. I have a background check, I’m CPR certified, and I’m currently in the process of getting my substitute teaching license. I genuinely love spending time with kids. Whether we’re dancing, dressing up, coloring, reading stories, going on walks, running errands, or just using our imaginations—I always aim to make our time together fun and meaningful. I’m also great at helping with schoolwork and love creating a calm, safe space where kids feel encouraged to be themselves. I can’t wait to get to know your family and spend time with your amazing kid(s)!

“Izzy is both professional and super fun with our kids. She is communicative, energetic and fun-loving. We feel very lucky that she is working with our family. She bonded with our kids quickly and they are excited to see her. And she is respectful of our way of being. Izzy is a gem. ”

I love taking care of children and grew up babysitting my cousins and nieces. I've been a sitter for 4 years and mostly do occasional and part time sitting for various families. I have taught Sunday school to kids aged 3 - 10 for 5 years, for which I'm a mandatory reporter and trained in child CPR. My highest education is a master's degree in film and media production. Please feel free to reach out if you have a job in mind!

Hello! I am Los Angeles based, working part time in advertising and looking for a regular part time or occasional childcare position, ideally 10-15 hours a week. I am one of six kids and began working with children at the age of 13. I'm now in my thirties, with many years of nannying behind me. I have taken care of children of all ages and stages of childhood. I have been certified in CPR in the past, and would be willing to update that certification if needed. I am fun, present, and engaging with children. I believe in the importance of enjoying nature, and will often take children on hikes or other outdoor excursions. As a former ballet dancer, I have taught children's dance classes and encourage creative expression in whichever form it might appear. In prior nanny positions I've offered tutoring/homework help with elementary and high school courses. I'm happy to cook, have no problem dropping off/picking up at school, and do have my own vehicle if any transportation is needed. I am also willing to do light house cleaning. I encourage creativity and growth with the children and allow for a fun and safe environment to learn and play, while being sensitive to each little one's individual needs. Thank you for your interest and I look forward to getting to know you and your family!

“Fantastic, highly recommend. Punctual, communicative, and attentive!”

Hello everyone reading this! About me: I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and absolutely love children! Whether it was for the neighbors next door, at the church nursery or for some of my high school teachers, I grew up watching kids! Although I'm more familiar with children from infancy to 6 years of age, I don't shy away from kids who are older. I am a very upbeat and outgoing person so I'm always getting down on the floor and playing with children and helping them expand their imagination! If you have any questions or want to know anything else about my experience, please don't hesitate to ask! :)

“Kaci was wonderful! She arrived on time and was personable and professional. My kid had a hard time when we left but she stayed calm and sent a picture of him happily playing after we left. It’s intimidating hiring someone you’ve never met before to watch your beloved child. I’m happy to endorse Kaci for any caregiving responsibility and I look forward to working with her again! Thank yoj for everything, Kaci.”
