Hi! My name is Amanda and I am a college student at CSUN. I am 21 years old and I began babysitting at 13 years old. I strive for long-term connections with the families I help and I am CPR and first-aid certified by The Red Cross. I have been a youth club volleyball coach for 3 seasons now so I feel I have great experience with kids and teens with different personalities.

Hi there! I'm studying psychology at UC Berkeley but am currently taking some time off. My experience in childcare comes from five years of working alongside my mom, who owns an at-home daycare, helping to look after both infants and toddlers throughout the workday. I adore working with kids and have been blessed to have been able to help care for such wonderful children for the past few years.

Kathleen $20 per hour for 1 child

I truly love kids and have been a nanny for over 3 years. I've cared for children from ages 10 months to 7years. Toddlers are my jam, as I am patient and great a redirection. My strong points are that I respect the parents I work with and always honor their parenting style, and I love to give children space to explore and learn, but stay close enough to keep them safe, which is my number one priority.
