🌸My name is Alexandra and I'm interested in providing care for your family! 🌸I am transitioning out of my current childcare position so I currently I have availability on Thursdays and Fridays, am available to work November 20-30, and will be available 24-30 hours per week starting December 18. 🧡 I am loving, patient, and highly attentive to the needs of infants and know how make them feel comfortable and safe. I am proactive and attuned to when a baby needs feeding, sleep, a diaper change, a change of clothes, or a change in their environment. 🧡 I am passionate about child development and offer age-appropriate engagement and activities to stimulate their minds and help them develop healthy, secure attachments to caregivers so they can develop confidence and self-esteem. I empathize with children's feelings while upholding boundaries and rules. 🧡 My go-to activities are playing games, singing songs, and being silly. I allow children to naturally warm up to me, but ultimately I know how to connect and relate to them and allow them to feel seen and heard. 🌻 I received my Bachelor's Degree in 2014 from San Diego State University with a B.A. in Pscyhology. I have my Early Childhood Education (ECE) credentials that certify me as a licensed care-giver and pre-school teacher by the state of California. 🌻 I have a car, am a non-smoker, comfortable with pets, and am also okay with taking care of sick children and helping potty train. 🌻 I charge $30/hour and have many references that I am willing to provide. I am vaccinated and willing to run a background check. 🌻 Please message me if you'd like to chat and see how I can offer care for your family!

I simply enjoy the innocent energy of infants, babies, toddlers, children, pre-teens and teenagers. They are like precious battery chargers to me. I will care for your children/children as if they are my own. I have 40 years of sitting experience and tons of references. I recently moved to L.A. from FL, for my last employment I was with a family for 6 years until both children were school age. I stay in communication with almost all of the families over the years. Amazing to watch them grow into adults with careers. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I'm a divorced empty-nester, so my schedule is wide-open for your convenience. My 21 yr old daughter lives in my bldg. which shows just how loving my maternal instincts are. I have a car and am willing to babysit up to 10 miles from Miracle Mile LA. I am also available days and/or evenings on the weekend. Please note - I have a 4 hour minimum. I am willing to travel on family vacations upon request.

** 20 Years Experience (coach, mentor and child care/companion) Hi! I’m a mature and experienced male caregiver offering an alternative to the traditional sitter. Still youthful but in my 50s now, I bring the reliability of a seasoned adult with the energy and playfulness of a “fun uncle” who keeps kids safe, engaged, and genuinely enjoying their time. Ideally, I'd like to find a family that I can work with long-term... but I'm also available for short-term or immediate needs. I’m patient, dependable, kid-friendly and educated at UCLA, with a 30-year career in I.T. (now semi-retired) and more than 20 years of coaching and mentoring experience. I’ve worked with nearly 750 children (primarily boys ages 5–12, though I enjoy supporting kids of all ages.) Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, taking the kids on outings or just being a steady, positive presence, I balance fun with responsibility. When I’m with your child, I’m not just supervising — I’m fully engaged. I listen, encourage, and tailor activities based on their interests. In the home, we can study, relax or play board games. If we have an outside adventure, it can be to a park, the beach, or to explore museums or other venues to have fun & educational experiences. I'm happy to take the kids to/from school and activities, too. I believe in clear communication with parents, so that my care follows your expectations and routines, making sure we’re aligned as a team. For your peace of mind, I have: • Live Scan (fingerprints) and background-checks through AYSO, YMCA, and other organizations • Safe driving record • Local references available • 20+ hours of child-safety training completed through various programs If you’re open to a dependable, mature male sitter who brings both structure and playfulness, I’d love to support your family. How can I help make your kids’ day a little brighter?

Learning about your children and family is major for me and building a community around the child.

Hi families! I’m Allie — a warm, reliable, and deeply experienced caregiver with over 15+ years of supporting children and families. I’ve been caring for kids for as long as I can remember. As the oldest of four, (with my youngest sibling being 12 years younger than me) I naturally stepped into the role of helper, nurturer, and playful guide from a young age. Caring for children has always felt like second nature to me - it’s where I learned patience, intuition, and the quiet art of tuning into what a child needs...whether comfort, structure, play, or simply someone to be fully present with them. Over the years I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to teens, and families often describe me as calming, creative, and someone they and their kids can rely on. I love the power of imagination and play, and I genuinely enjoy getting on a child’s level - creating worlds, exploring ideas, and helping them feel safe to be themselves. Creativity is a big part of my career as well, and I find childcare to be beautifully symbiotic: kids expand my imagination just as much as I support theirs. Outside of caregiving, I’m a former corporate marketing lead, turned feminine leadership and mindset coach, so I bring emotional intelligence, grounded communication, structure, and a steady, supportive presence into every environment I enter. And as someone who hopes to have children of my own in the next few years, I take this work to heart. I treat every child with the same care, attention, and respect I’d want for my own. I can support your family with: • Part-time care (up to 25 hours/week) • Before or After-school help • Creative activities + outdoor play • Meal prep • Homework guidance • Morning and/or Bedtime routines • Light household support • School pickups/drop-offs If you’re looking for someone warm, trustworthy, and deeply committed to your children’s wellbeing, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit. Looking forward to meeting your family 🤍
