Alex $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Alex. I am 26, and offering child care, senior care, pet care, household & prep/ cooking services. I love kids, as my sister has a 1 year old, and I am a godparent to my aunts 7 year old. I am vegan for 9 years now, but that does not stop me; I have cooked for friends and families who majority eat regular foods. Also looking if anyone wants a chef, I love to cook. Currently with 1 family on Monday & Wednesday. I used to be in camp during the summers/winters when i was young. Then I became a camp counselor at the same camps that I went, when I was allowed and of age. I realized I love taking care of kids and did that for a couple years. I also used to volunteer at an elderly home for Alzheimer’s and retired patients during high school. I am familiar with more of being a friend, company while engaging with them, and playing games like bingo. Those were more my duties there. I’m fantastic at games, even blackjack and card games. I can drive to/from school, homework, crafts, tutoring, errands, clean/tidy up. I have a dog of mine, and used to have a cat with an ex partner, so very familiar with pets as well. I love both very much.

Isabella $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Isabella. I have extensive experience working with children of different ages, including working as a preschool teacher. I studied Early Childhood Development at Santa Monica College and have additional training in Child Development and care. I'm responsible, attentive, and respectful with children. I believe each child has their own personality, needs, and way of communicating, and I pay attention to that when caring for them. In my free time I enjoy reading, spending time in nature, baking, meditating, and being around the people I love. I'm fluent in English and Portuguese and highly proficient in Spanish.

Xenia $22 per hour for 1 child

My name is Xenia. I believe in catering to a child's emotional and intellectual needs. I believe in explaining the reason for things versus telling a child "No". Instead, I will tell a child, "That's not something we put in our mouth because it's not food. We only put food and medicine in our mouth." In that way, the child is able to make the connection in its brain in a healthy and productive manner instead of bringing fear and rejection to the child. I love cats and dogs. I am open to babysit children, your fur babies, and perform light domestic work.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Woodland Hills, CA

Hello, my name is Kathy. I am a proud mother of four adult children and have extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I am patient, honest, and highly organized, with a genuine love for working with kids. I offer attentive childcare, light cooking, help with organization, and can run errands as needed. In addition to raising my own children, I regularly babysit for friends and family, which has further strengthened my skills in nurturing and managing children in a variety of settings. I would be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to discuss your needs and see if we are a good fit. References are available upon request. Thank you!

Devon $27 per hour for 1 child

I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to hang out with your kiddos for occasional nights out, adult weekends away, or busy days to get errands done. I spent almost 5 years teaching toddlers and preschoolers, ages 18-months to five-years-old, before becoming a full-time nanny for a four-month-old and a five-year-old. When the infant was old enough to attend school, I stepped into an assistant director role at a preschool in my hometown, which is my current full time position. I am CPR and first aid trained, mandated reporter certified, and I obtained a teaching certificate along with 30 child development units, and a degree in social and behavioral sciences. Early childhood education is my passion and I would love the opportunity to help your young ones on their social and emotional development and academic growth!
