Hi, I’m Justine (Jeemin is my Korean name). I’ve spent many years living and working inside family homes—as a nanny, a mother’s helper, a household manager, and a personal chef. My love for children has always felt very natural to me, and I followed my passion by studying Early Childhood Education while earning my B.A. in Psychobiology at UC San Diego. During that time, I lived with a professional athlete and cared for his family and baby girl who was born at just 27 weeks. For almost 5 years, I was by her side after she faced six strokes and many developmental challenges. I learned, in a very real and personal way, what it means to show up every day with patience, curiosity, and love—and how constant learning, training and devoted care can help a child grow and thrive. I view my true value as providing full family support. I’m very comfortable stepping into the real, everyday rhythm of a household: early mornings, laundry, dishes, AM/PM routines, last-minute changes, and everything in between. I take a kind, clear approach to childcare: safety first, connection over correction and empathy always. I stay current on modern child development practices and am especially interested in music therapy, physiotherapy, emotional literacy, and play-based learning. In simple terms, I care about how a child feels in their body and heart, not just what they “do” in a day. I'm also a Naturopathic Cook and have been entrusted to prepare nutritious meals for children & entire households.

I am currently a 4th grade teacher at an elementary school. Last year I taught 5th grade and 1st grade in the summer. I have also been a substitute teacher for grades TK-12th grade and have taught all grades. I did tutoring at high schools and middle schools as well. 😇 I am also a mother of a 13 year old with autism. I have experience with students with IEPs and 504 plans. I have my bachelors in Social work and I am a school counseling student currently. Have passed a recent TB test and Live scan.

Hello there parents of LA and OC! I am Isis, I have been a professional babysitter/nanny for seven years now. Throughout the years I have learned so much about children and babies! I have taken care of as young as a three week old baby to Young teens. My greatest qualities as a babysitter/ nanny is that l am super playful with a good imagination coming up with arts and crafts, activities and games. I am always on the go whether it's going to the park or to the library. Things always come up on the road such as traffic, accidents, and inconvenience but l'm always on time for my families.To conclude I am always there for the kids that I care for and love and care for them as if they were my own. I'm always loving, kind and patient. I hope to hear from you soon and can't wait to meet you and your family. Best Regards, Isis

Hi families! My name is Marlen Gonzalez, and I’m a 21 year old senior at the University of Southern California (USC), double majoring in Legal Studies and Spanish. I enjoy cooking, baking, painting, hiking and learning new things! I’ve been caring for kids of all ages—from newborns to pre-teens—for 7+ years, and I truly love working with children. I’m looking to help part-time or one-time depending on your needs and I’m flexible. Beyond babysitting, I have experience tutoring and mentoring elementary and middle school students in South LA through USC programs. I’ve also had experience as a summer camp counselor for 3rd-5th graders. I enjoy spending time with children and engaging them with crafts, reading, and outdoor play. I’ve taken early childhood development courses and understand the patience, safety, and trust required in childcare. Parents can count on me to be reliable, caring, and attentive. I’m also happy to help with cleaning around the house and homework if needed. I would not be able to drive children anywhere however I am happy to watch over them either at your home or my own home. Lastly, I am bilingual and fully fluent in English and Spanish. I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family! Thank you!

Hello! My name is Isabella and I am a 18 year old part time college student at cal poly Pomona. I have 6 younger siblings so i definitely know how kids can be and I do have babysitting experience. I have 5 dogs who are my absolute joy. I am the child of a single father so I am responsible for cooking and cleaning meaning I do also have experience in those departments (I absolutely love cooking!). I have a lot of patience due to having many siblings , I’m always kind, I always have an upbeat attitude and even when something is wrong I always see the bright side in things, I do have work experience in Amazon which requires me to work at a fast pace in case I’m needed to. I hope you consider me because I do love taking care of children, pets, etc. I do hope to gain a career in the future that has something to do with being there for children so I really want to expand my resume :)
