I have about 27 yrs of experience. I just love, love, love, babies and children, and have worked with all ages, from newborns to teenagers! I have 15 units of Child Development. I have worked at a daycare and for LA and Pasadena Unified School Districts and because of this, I consider myself an infant and toddler teacher because I gained a lot of experience as one. I have a lot of fun and exciting age-appropriate learning activities that the children enjoy! I know and teach some baby signs and Spanish to the children that I work with. I also teach phonics and other pre-reading/reading skills along with sight words, digraphs, and blends. I also teach beginners addition and subtraction in a fun way! So the children that I work with are always smarter and ready for preschool and/or kindergarten.

I can't recommend Wendy enough! She is amazing with our now 8-month-old son and has been a huge help to our family. She knows babies and is such a calm, loving presence. We love that she does a lot of early language development activities with him-- lots of books, phonics, songs, etc. and he is always really stimulated and engaged during his time with her. We feel so lucky we found her! Highly recommend!!

We were looking for a babysitter for our 2 year old while visiting our family in LA and reached out to Wendy because of her glowing reviews. I cannot say enough good things about her. Her warmth, sparkling personality and genuine love for children is evident from the start. She connected with my son within minutes of meeting him and he was in heaven for her entire stay. He hasn't stopped talking about her since. Her experience as a teacher and seasoned caregiver set her apart. Wendy took the time to ask detailed questions about my son's preferences, dislikes, and concerns to provide him the most engaging and comforting care possible. We feel so lucky to have found her!

Over the last few months Wendy's been occasionally sitting for our 7 month old son, with responsibilities including feeding, naps, bedtime, and playtime of course. At each visit she has comes prepared, with books and music, and having brushed up on his current developmental stage. She's knowledgable, comfortable, and able to handle challenging situations. Wendy's clearly loves children and seeing her face light up when she sees our son is very comforting.

Wendy is an incredible babysitter. We love her!!! She watches my 16 month old daughter. Wendy brings bags full of books, toys, CDs, and DVDs each week. She even bought a book on vacation that she thought my daughter would like. She is very professional, loving and fun!!!

Wendy started babysitting our daughter when she was 9 months old. We are new parents and were a little nervous to leave our baby with a sitter for the first time. However, from the very first visit, I knew everything would work out well. Wendy is very personable, confident, knowledgeable, and experienced. She brings toys and music CDs and is very good at playing with our daughter. Wendy now comes once a week during the day and for occasional date nights. When she arrives, our now one-year-old daughter smiles, waves, and goes right up to her. She loves the toys Wendy brings and has learned new skills with Wendy's help. I feel very comfortable leaving our daughter with her.

Wendy is an excellent babysitter for our 2 and 5 year old children. She is prompt, responsible, and thoughtful. She always brings something fun for the children to do and they look forward to her coming over. I leave knowing that my children are well cared for. I would recommend her to anyone.

Wendy recently worked for our family caring for our 18 month old son. She is a sweet, friendly person who committed to caring for our son in an educational manner. She always brought cds and books with her that would teach him things like colors and baby signs. I think our son really appreciated that about her coming, so he wasn’t just playing with his same old toys. Wendy watched our son while I worked from home, did chores or ran errands. She fed him, changed him, played with him, sang to him, taught him motions to songs, helped him identify new things, and was attentive to his likes and dislikes. When she saw us signing with our son she asked a lot of questions and eventually started looking into it on her own and started signing songs to our son, too! If my work hours hadn’t conflicted with our babysitting schedule Wendy would still be watching our son! Thanks, Wendy!

We are so glad to have Wendy babysit our daughter. She can be sensitive to strangers but Wendy is able to connect with her so naturally that we can tell she is a happy girl each time we came home. Wendy is always prompt in communications and on-time for our appointments. It has been a pleasure to work with her!!

My daughter loves Wendy. She asks me often when Wendy can come back and play. She is very easy to work with, great with kids and super responsive. We are very lucky to have found her!!

Wendy has proven to be a treasure for our family. She is always cheerful, on time and she pays 100% attention to the girls. My girls love her because she always brings something interesting for them to play with or read together, and they always have fun with her.

My husband and I moved to Los Angeles last year and knew no one. We wanted to find a date night babysitter for our 2 year-old daughter, so I turned to sittercity. What first attracted me to Wendy's profile was not only her extensive childcare experience, but her sparkling smile. Her picture does not lie. She has an equally sparkling personality to match her smile. My daughter was immediately taken with her. Wendy brings age-appropriate toys, games and movies that gets my daughter interested and engaged as we are leaving. Wendy will send occasional text updates to let me know everything is going fine. When my daughter hasn't seen her for a while, she asks about her and wonders what Wendy has been doing. Overall, Wendy is very professional, prepared, cheerful and pleasant to be around. I give her my highest recommendation as a babysitter.

I highly recommend Wendy to anyone who is looking for someone who is always prompt, thoughtful, patient, courteous and readily communicates with you about your child. She started babysitting my 10 month old son a few months ago and he thoroughly enjoys her company. From the moment they met, he was comfortable with her. I truly appreciate the fact that she is always prepared with age-appropriate materials but remains flexible to do whatever activity interests my son. Also, I am glad that she provides updates or ask questions via text about my son on an as needed basis. She has been great about encouraging my son through a few milestones (crawling, standing, etc.) and it is clear that she is both good at and passionate about her ability to care for children.

Wendy is an excellent babysitter for our almost 2 year old son. She's always on time and brings fun books and games for them to play with. I appreciate that she texts to let us know when he's fallen asleep or if she has any questions. She's extremely responsible and our son really enjoys spending time with her.
