❤️ Your children are a new Universe in which everything is beautiful. They just need a little of our attention and help, and a lot of care and protection so that they can grow their own unique world. And then they will invite you to it when they grow up a little. ❤️ And while you are away, with great patience and love I can be with your angel, protect him, help him in everything and take care of him while he creates his beautiful world. ☀️ I love to read, sing, to go on walks and do yoga. I have 2 very cool kids, one is my 10 year old son and 20 year old daughter. I love to cook. I spend a lot of time with children in my life. ❤️ You will always make sure I leave your home clean before my departure. I am able to find a balance between the wishes of the child, their safety and your requirements. I have very big experience of taking care of a lot of kids maybe because I love children very much.❤️

Hi there! My name is Lisa and I'm an experienced babysitter with a passion for working with children. I've been caring for children since I was a teen, when I worked at an after-school program where I tutored kids, did art activities, and helped with their reading. It was an amazing and unforgettable experience that inspired me to pursue a career as an elementary school teacher in the future. In addition to my work at the after-school program, I've also babysat my cousin since she was 1 year old. She's almost 3 now and seeing her grow and develop into a wonderful child has been very rewarding. When you hire me as your babysitter, you can rest assured that your children will be in safe and capable hands. I am committed to providing the best possible care. I'm also experienced with meal prep and baking, and I love to work with fresh produce. After COVID hit, I spent a lot of time learning new recipes and exploring the benefits of fruits and greens. I would be happy to make your kids healthy meals and delicious smoothies. Lastly, I used to volunteer at a K9 program training dogs, so I'm comfortable with pets and would be happy to help take care of yours.

Hi, I'm Rakia, and I love spending time with kids. I recently spent a year as an au pair in Australia, caring for children and supporting their daily routines, which strengthened my confidence, patience, and ability to connect with kids of different ages. Before that, I worked as a Teacher's Assistant at my school daycare center, where I had the joy of playing with, feeding, and putting infants to sleep. With CPR and Stop the Wound certifications, safety is always my top priority. I'm passionate about helping children learn and grow, and I'm pursuing a career in pediatrics so I can continue making a positive impact in their lives.

Hi, I’m Kelley! I’ve been babysitting for over 12 years, starting when I began watching my next-door neighbors at the beginning of high school. Since then, I’ve nannied for families, worked as a second grade classroom assistant, been a camp counselor, and done just about everything in between when it comes to working with kids of all ages. My mom is a first-grade teacher, so I’ve picked up plenty of fun games, crafts, and creative activities to keep kids engaged. I’m also comfortable with any animals (we have dogs, a cat, goats and horses at my family’s house in Maryland!) I’m currently based in Santa Monica. Please reach out if it sounds like a good match - always happy to chat over a phone or zoom call first!

Hi there, I’m Emma! I’m from Denver, but I moved to LA about 4 years ago and have been loving every minute of it! I’ve always had a big place in my heart for kids and love to babysit whenever I get the chance. I have over 15 years of experience working with children (newborn-13 yrs) as a sitter, nanny, counselor, etc. I have extensive experience with infant care and have been certified in infant CPR. I’ve also worked with children with severe allergies, disabilities, special needs, and health issues. While studying at the University of Colorado at Boulder, I worked as the Lead Childcare Associate at the Colorado Athletic Club and helped run their daycare for 3 years. I work in the entertainment industry and am pursuing a career in Film and Television. I’m currently in between jobs so I have a lot of availability at the moment. I love to cook, braid hair, do crafts, sing & dance, and I have quite the knack for obstacles courses and scavenger hunts! If I sound like the right fit for your family, then I’m happy to provide references or more information on my previous experience/training. 😊

Review of Oxana D.
★★★★★

Oxana was great with our twin two year old boys. They spent the whole day outside at the park save for lunch and their nap. When she left the boys were content from a day of great play. She cleaned up nicely after their lunch too

★★★★★

Such a great experience! My son took to Rakia immediately and was laughing and goofing around with her within minutes. Once he went down for his nap she kept an eye on him and sent me updates so I got to take my call totally stress free. Her energy is wonderful. Can't wait to have her back!

Rakia was wonderful! She was so patient with our son and jumped right in to action upon arrival. She was also flexible with her time as we made some last minute changes to the booking. We would love to have her again!!!!
