I Ain't Afraid of No .... Diaper! .....or Toddler! .....or Teenager! Bonjour Parents. My name is Karen. I am originally from Toronto, Canada and have been living in LA for 8 years now. I have been a professional, stay home mom with 3 grown, wonderful, successful teenagers. My children are bilingual in French and my eldest daughter graduated in June 2024 as Valedictorian. The teens have fledged now so I have a flexible schedule to provide occasional or part-time sitting for you. I live in Valley Village and service the San Fernando Valley. I have been with Sitter City for almost 2 years and have been very fortunate to provide my services to many incredible families whose children I just adore! In August 2024, I held a substitute position at a daycare, helping to care for 12 little ones under 2 years old. I do children and pets well. I love playing traditional board games, doing puzzles, reading stories - Dr. Seuss is my best friend! Singing songs, going out for walks, playing in the park and creating fun adventures. I genuinely enjoy being a sitter and love to help, teach, play with the children I care for. I am also 100% animal friendly. You name it - I've either owned it or experienced it. I am trustworthy, responsible, punctual, kind and patient. I offer 19 years of hands-on experience, maturity and knowledge to keep your child(ren) safe, happy and entertained when you need to be away. I do not have a criminal record and I have my own vehicle, with a clear driving record of 44 years! I do not smoke, vape or use any recreational drugs (never have!) I am certified with The Red Cross Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED, CDSS Child Abuse & Neglect Reporter and my immunizations are up-to-date. Merci. Who Ya Gonna Call?!! Karen @ (818) 579-3081

Karen has been the best babysitter for our 15 month old boy! First and foremost, she makes me feel so comfortable when we leave because safety is her number one priority. Second to that, she is always making our boy laugh and have the best time. She is very reliable and punctual and brings our baby boy different toys to play with each visit. She is also so helpful in tidying up the house when we are out. We couldn’t recommend her more!

Hi there! My name is Liscia and I’m an experienced, reliable, and caring nanny based in the valley, currently available for new opportunities. I’m CPR certified, have a clean driving record, and bring over 10 years of babysitting experience, including 5 years as a nanny/household assistant! As the oldest sibling to three younger brothers (ages 5, 8, and 13), I’ve been helping raise kids practically my whole life—and I absolutely love it! I enjoy nannying because I get to build meaningful connections with kids and create a fun, safe, and supportive environment where they can grow and thrive. In my free time, I love to spend time outdoors, be active, and bake desserts! I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Liscia was great to work with! She was very easy to communicate with and arrived right on time. She connected with my almost-2 year old instantly. She took great care of him and we came home to a happy boy. I would highly recommend Liscia!

I have 10 years of experience working with children, ranging from infants as young as one week to young adults up to 20. For 7 years, I worked in a daycare setting, where I gained valuable hands-on experience in managing multiple children and fostering their problem-solving skills. Currently, I have been working in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for the past 3 years providing direct support to children on the autism spectrum and those with behavioral disorders. In addition to my professional background, I have personal experience as the oldest of five siblings, which has further enriched my understanding of child development and care. Children are my passion, and I believe that investing in their growth is vital for our future. My goal is to support children and their families in any way I can. Please note that my hourly rate will not change based on how many children you have. Hourly rate can also be negotiated for long term opportunities.

We've been fortunate to have her as our babysitter for the past nine months, and she has been nothing short of amazing with our family. She has cared for our 4-year-old, 9-year-old, and 10-year-old, and from day one she has shown an incredible amount of patience, kindness, and genuine care. Our two sons are autistic, and she has consistently met them with compassion, understanding, and unwavering support. She has built meaningful relationships with them in a way that I've honestly never seen another babysitter do. She takes the time to understand each child's unique needs, communicates with them respectfully, and has even helped us as parents learn new ways to better support and connect with our boys. One of the things we appreciate most is how intentional she is about making sure all three of our children feel included. She creates activities that everyone can participate in, encourages teamwork, and helps each child feel valued. She also empowers our kids to advocate for themselves, develop confidence, and practice important life skills in age-appropriate ways. Knowing our children are in her care gives us complete peace of mind. She is dependable, knowledgeable, nurturing, and truly invested in the well-being of the children she works with. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done for our family, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for an exceptional babysitter. She would be an amazing addition to any home.

Hi! I'm a caring, energetic, and dependable sitter who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and have fun. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, including children with autism, and I strive to create a safe, patient, and supportive environment where every child feels comfortable and understood. I am CPR certified and have experience tutoring as well as teaching swimming, tennis, and beach volleyball. I love staying active and enjoy creating engaging activities that build confidence, encourage learning, and keep kids entertained. Whether it's helping with homework, playing outside, doing arts and crafts, or supporting bedtime routines, I aim to make every child feel cared for and every parent feel at ease. Professionally, I have spent over 10 years in project management and operations roles, which has made me highly organized, reliable, and calm under pressure. I have my own transportation and understand the importance of punctuality, communication, and trust when caring for your children. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a fun, nurturing, and dependable childcare experience!

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Dina for years, and I can’t recommend her enough. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and communicative, which are exactly the qualities you want in someone caring for your children. She’s warm, patient, and genuinely loves spending time with kids. She also adores dogs, so she’s a great fit for families with pets. Dina is responsible, kind, and has a calm, positive presence that makes both kids and parents feel comfortable. She’s the type of person who shows up when she says she will, keeps you informed, and always goes the extra mile. Any family would be lucky to have her, and I would trust her without hesitation with the people I care about most.

I simply enjoy the innocent energy of infants, babies, toddlers and children. They are like precious battery chargers to me. I will care for your child/children as if they are my own. I have 40 years of sitting experience, personal 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 from newborn age 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 22 yr old daughter lives in my bldg. in Hollywood, which shows just how loving my maternal instincts are. I have a car and am willing to babysit up to 10 miles from Hollywood LA. I am also available days and/or evenings on the weekend. Please note - I have a 4 hour minimum per sitting. I am also willing to travel with families on vacations upon request.

Melissa is absolutely wonderful. She is extremely easy to communicate with, was very understanding with all of our requests for the care of our child, and most importantly, our child absolutely loved her right away and continues to. From the first moment she walked in, my normally shy child was happy to see me walk away. Melissa has come over a few times now, and is always on time, a great communicator, and follows our instructions. Couldn’t recommend her more!
