I'm only looking for occasional jobs because I have kids myself! Available on short notice! I was born in Russia, then moved to Finland at a young age . I have traveled a lot and lived in many countries. I speak 3 languages: English, Russian and Finnish. Russian is my native language. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in International Sales and Marketing from Haaga-Helia University in Finland. I love babysitting, teaching children something new and exploring the world with them. P.S. Please call me Kate :)

Hi! I’m a developmental therapist with a genuine passion for working with children and supporting their growth, confidence, and emotional well-being. I currently work with children ages 3–10 while pursuing my Master’s in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Development, with a concentration in Youth Work and Out-of-School Time. I’ve spent over six years working with children in a variety of settings, including schools, preschools, camps, and families’ homes. I’ve worked in special education with LAUSD, taught preschool in both San Francisco and Portland, and spent four years as a camp counselor with Camp Galileo. These experiences have given me the opportunity to work with children of different ages, personalities, and needs, and have taught me how important it is to meet each child where they are. I also have several years of nannying experience and have worked with around seven different families. I’ve helped with everything from weekly childcare and school pickups to overnight trips, meal preparation, bedtime routines, arts and crafts, homework, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I really enjoy creating a balance between structure and fun—whether that means getting creative with an activity, heading outside to play, helping with homework, or simply being a caring and dependable presence for a child. Outside of my professional work, I’ve always been passionate about giving back to children and families. I’ve volunteered with organizations such as Safe & Sound, where I provided peer counseling and support, and Reading Partners, where I tutored elementary school children who were working to improve their reading skills. I would describe myself as warm, patient, responsible, and easygoing. I truly enjoy getting to know each child as an individual and creating a relationship where they feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can be a helpful part of your child’s life!

“Janie was an excellent sitter for our two young children (4 and 6). She is warm and calm, listens carefully and responds thoughtfully to our children. She provides constructive guidance to them, helps them stay organized, encourages them to use words to talk out their disputes, and makes them feel safe. She was always on time, and proactive in planning. She helped with school pick-up and prepped dinner and fed our children on some evenings. I would definitely hire Janie again, and recommend her highly for your family.”

Booked by 2 families in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hello my name is Reina. I have a BA in Psychology. I have close to 10 years of working experience with children ranging from infants to school-aged children. I am currently an educator who teaches different ages in elementary schools. I was also a behavior technician who worked with children with different developmental disabilities. I enjoy teaching and seeing children succeed.

“Reina was super friendly, great with the kids, and so kind! I appreciated how flexible she was with our ever-changing schedule. I have a neurodivergent child, and she got along with him so well! She played games with them, helped my son build a cardboard house...she engaged them in fun activities and ensured they went to bed on time and with a nice reading session. Our boys loved her and wanted to know when she would be back!”

Aside from having taken care of my four daughters and nieces over the years, I most recently helped my daughter adjust back to her work routine and cared for my granddaughter on a regular basis, both day and nights. I am great with children and see each as my own, and am open to rules set by the parents and abide by them. I have pets at home, so caring for pets is nothing new to me, as well as seniors. I also take care of all of our household chores, so that's also something I can do if requested.

“Wonderful experience, she’s cared for my 15 month old and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s attentive, and my daughter adores her. My daughter is a picky eater, so its been tough, but her patience has been key. She’s helped with chores around the house too.”
