Booked by 3 families in Manhattan Beach, CA

Hello! My name is Nia and I have 15 years babysitting newborns, infants and children. I have professional experience at a daycare for ages 1-4 as well as in my 6th year working through a private babysitting company. I also have experience coaching 6 year old basketball I am also comfortable watching and helping the elderly with basic tasks such as cooking, cleaning around the house and also just providing company. I can keep them quite entertained with my stories. I used to work at the local animal shelter and prior to that was a successful dog walker so I am very comfortable with all animals. I’m very energetic and nurturing so I do really well entertaining my 3 year old perfect nephew when I babysit him weekly.

“Nia was great! She was very cool, down to earth, and our girls really liked her - we would totally have her back!”

Hi, my name is Madison and I just graduated from American University. I was in Girl Scouts for all of my K-12 education, volunteered at a preschool, and also worked at a ballet studio for younger kids so I'm very comfortable working with children. I also worked as a tutor/mentor at a middle school in D.C. I also love animals. I have a dog of my own and this past summer I also helped nurse kittens at Best Friends Animal Society!

Hi there, I'm Alexis! I've cared for children in both home and camp/school settings for over 10 years. I'd love to meet your family! With experience as an art teacher, a volleyball coach, a babysitter, and a tutor, I have a wide range of experience working with kids! I'm excited to meet you!

“Alexis has been watching my 2 year old since he was around 6 months, and has been a staple for our family. She is responsive, reliable and always punctual. Alexis is so great with our son, and he really looks forward to their time together. Leaving him with her is never a concern, and something our whole family looks forward to. I cannot recommend Alexis highly enough.”

Amelia 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

As the oldest of eight cousins on my mom’s side, I’ve been looking after younger kids since I was young. I’ve babysat children of all ages and even ran a kids’ softball camp where I made sure everyone felt included, had fun, and learned new skills in a safe environment. I’m CPR certified and comfortable helping with homework, preparing meals, and planning creative or active playtime. In addition to childcare, I have a big heart for animals. I have my own dog and have also been dog-sitting for over 7 years—feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets are well cared for while their owners are away. I’m familiar with different breeds and comfortable around large animals and pets that shed. When it comes to household services, I’m happy to help with anything that makes your life easier—cleaning, laundry, running errands, organizing, whatever you need! Whether it’s kids, pets, or general help around the house, I’m here to help however I can!

“Amelia arrived early which is always refreshing. She was so sweet and proactive about wanting to find what interests my kids have. She was so hands on with play, followed my guidelines/rules of the house, and tidied up as requested. She stayed a little later because we were running late. My kids raved all the next day what a fun time they had with her. She is professional yet fun, responsible and trustworthy. We would very highly recommend Amelia.”
