Hello - My name is Alexis. I have seven years of experience as a babysitter and nanny and have cared for children of all ages — from infants to preteens. I love to do arts and crafts, drawing, painting, and coloring with the kids. I also love board games, lego, hide and seek, and reading stories. I was a volunteer at a Waldorf summer camp for four years, where I worked with children in early childhood. Then I was a nanny for a wonderful family with two children who were seven and ten at the time. I worked at a Waldorf school as the Aftercare teacher and program director for almost two years. I was also a sub for the teachers and their assistants. I supervised children of all temperaments and ages as aftercare was offered to kindergarten through fifth grade. On a typical day I usually watched about 15+ children, while cleaning the yard, helping the older children with homework, coordinate with the parents and teachers, and getting the children signed out for the day. I have two associates degrees from Pierce College. I have a degree in Elementary Teacher Education and a degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences. I currently attend CSUN, where I am getting my teaching credential and bachelors in Liberal Studies. I genuinely love working with kids and plan on becoming an elementary teacher. Specifically, I would like to teach kindergarten or first grade. I am patient, calm, and caring. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified. I have no criminal record whatsoever and can provide a full background along with references.
“Alexis was immediately polite and willing to play with our girls. She listened to our routines and worked with them. The girls warmed up to her and even felt comfortable doing imaginary play and books together. She was a great sport about going with it too. She also was respectful and put things away.”
Hi! I'm Abra. I have experience as a nanny, resort children's program director, and instructor for maritime/marine biology camps. I have experience as a private chef during covid as well as private deckhand/stew. I enjoy cooking. I loved having the opportunity to be a stay at home mom for many years to my daughter, who is now 19, and in college. I currently work part time as a marine surveyor on container ships and oil tankers. In my free time I love to go tidepooling, and I have a native wildflower project I've been working on by myself for several years in Laurel Canyon. I can make an art, craft or science project out of just about anything. I have a ton of silly songs I know by heart, and still love to play. I also have experience with volunteer hospice care and limited mobility care.

Hi, I’m Kaylee! I would love to be your fun and nurturing babysitter. Some of my favorite things are cats, dancing, acting, baking, and reading. My first professional experience in childcare was as a daycare caregiver for three years, helping create a safe environment for babies to school aged children. From there I transitioned to private nannying for two wonderful children. We spent our days adventuring outside, making arts and crafts, having dance parties, and playing make believe. I had the privilege of many Los Angeles families entrusting me to care for their little ones. I am now offering my services as an occasional and part time babysitter for date nights, school pickups, backup care, or just when you’re needing a little break! 🔤 Native English speaker ⛑️ First aid and CPR certificatied (baby, child, and adult) 🚙 Valid drivers license and safe vehicle ✅ Clean background check through Urbansitter ✍️ Five star reviews on Urbansitter ☺️ Patience and empathy - practicing gentle parenting 🍼 Eight years of childcare experience ages newborn to high school 🖍️ Activity and craft planning 📚 Homework help 🛝 Active play and exercise 🍽️ Meal and snack preparation 🐈⬛ Pet friendly 💉 Fully vaccinated 🤟 Novice ASL - I know basic signs and practice new ones everyday!
