Karen I., Babysitter in San Fernando, CA 91340 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Karen, and I am a caring, dependable, and experienced childcare provider with both personal and professional experience working with children. As a mother of four children—now ages 26, 22, 19, and 14—I have spent many years raising and caring for children through every stage of development. This hands-on parenting experience has given me patience, strong instincts, and a deep understanding of children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs. In addition to being a parent, I am also an experienced educator. I worked as an Early Education Center Aide with LAUSD from 2018 to 2020. From February 2022 to January 2025, I worked as a Floating Teacher at La Crescenta Montessori, where I supported multiple classrooms and cared for children of various ages. I then worked as a Teacher Aide at Poverello of Assisi, a Catholic preschool, from January 2025 to June 2026. I am currently working part-time at Montessori of North Park in Santa Clarita. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have extensive experience working with toddlers and school-age children, which are the age groups I most enjoy caring for. I understand the importance of creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and feel secure. I am patient, attentive, reliable, and committed to supporting each child’s individual needs. I can help with educational activities, playtime, homework support, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and light household tasks related to childcare. I am currently available for early morning weekday care and weekends. Beginning after August 14, I will have expanded weekday availability and can take on more babysitting hours. I can provide strong professional references upon request and would love the opportunity to support your family with dependable, loving care.

Jeanine S., Babysitter in San Fernando, CA 91340 with 10 years of paid experience

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.

Liscia H., Babysitter in San Fernando, CA 91340 with 6 years of paid experience

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!

Kat is a great sitter, and my wife & I are lucky when she watches our son. She has a great energy that all children would connect with, plus she has a focused mindset that puts any parent’s minds at ease. She fits as either a date-night sitter or a regular addition to a family routine. She’s a hard worker, good communicator,, and legitimately the funniest sitter we’ve ever had. (I think her voice even popped up in some of our son’s cartoons too!) Kat is at the top of our list for sitters, so as long as you don’t book her for a night we’d like, then I’d highly recommend!

Melissa Y., Babysitter in San Fernando, CA 91340 with 40 years of paid experience

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!

Hi! I'm Lexy! I have been an animal lover my whole life and have my own pet family. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets when they go on vacation or they are a little too busy. I have had dogs and cats my whole life and have about 3 years of experience working as a pet sitter! Although my main speciality is pet care for dogs and cats, I am also available to help with babysitting, household assistant tasks such as running errands, groceries, laundry, dishes, cleaning, helping with meal prep, etc., senior care such as driving to appointments, running errands, prescription pick up, keeping them company, etc. I have minimal experience working with children through my seasonal full time job as a school yearbook photographer. Although I do not have much experience working with children, I am reliable, responsible, and a quick learner. I don't drink alcohol, do drugs (including weed), and I don't smoke. I have a valid driver's license.
