Booked by 4 families in Venice, CA

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.”

Leah $18 per hour for 1 child

hi - i am currently a student at santa monica college and i am offering child care as well as pet care services. I have always enjoyed babysitting and watching children. I love how their creative minds work and think. I find children to be an important part of society. Through every mess and mistake , i will be patient and gentle with them. Children respond well with kindness and being well understood. I would watch two children from time to time and they were four and seven. They enjoyed how i had interacted with them as i was constantly playing with them whether it was barbie or if we were mermaids in the ocean. When you are a child your mind will believe anything and i want to help be the magic in your childs life. I am a very sweet and kind individual who cares for all and is very empathetic I have had two pugs so i have some experience with caring with smaller dogs but larger dogs i do not have experience. I also am allergic to cats

Kennedy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello!!! My name is Kennedy, and I'm a 22-year-old College student. I've received my AA in Communications from SMC and will be receiving my B. A. in Communications from Loyola Marymount University in December. I'm fluent in Spanish, love working out, wellness, being active, reading, and exploring this world! I absolutely love children and have a huge respect for them, as I think they're the smartest and greatest humans :) I'd describe my personality as kind, empathetic, and gregarious. I like working with kids because they are infectious! This job provides such a rewarding experience of being a part of a child's development, and it really doesn't get more rewarding! I started working with kids when I was 17 years old. In my spare time, I like to do Pilates, hike, read, watch movies, spend time with family and friends, or anything self-care related! One thing you should know about me is that I'm very flexible! My skills include being patient, a problem solver, and creative.

Sasha $21 per hour for 1 child

I’m a recent college graduate who recently moved to Los Angeles. I’ve spent my summers at camp, first as a camper and later as a counselor, where I loved helping create the same meaningful experiences I had as a camper. I also have experience tutoring students throughout high school. In my senior year of college, I took an elective that partnered us with a local school, meeting weekly with a small group of students — it quickly became one of my favorite classes, and solidified my passion for working with kids in educational settings.
