April S., Babysitter in Silver Lake, CA 90026 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm new to Sittercity, but not to childcare. I'm a warm, responsible, and fun caregiver with 3 years of experience working with toddlers, children, tweens, and teens. I’ve provided care for families privately as well as through KiddieCorp. I’m German-English bilingual and hold a Master’s degree. Currently, I work part-time as a foreign language instructor and a test developer, and I’ll be starting graduate studies in clinical psychology this fall at Pepperdine University. I genuinely love being a sitter because time with children is time well spent. I enjoy supporting their emotional and developmental growth in meaningful ways. I know how important it is for parents to feel at ease when they’re away, and I’m proud to offer parents peace of mind. My childcare background includes not just babysitting, but also K–12 substitute teaching. I am also a storytime volunteer at the Los Angeles Ronald McDonald House. These experiences have helped me respond with patience, insight, and calm in high-stress or emotional moments—while still keeping things fun, silly, and creative when the time is right! Whether we’re reading books, doing crafts, playing games (I love games!), or simply talking about a child’s day, I focus on being present (which includes being *phone free*), kind, and age-appropriate in everything I do. I’m dependable, respectful of family routines, and happy to help with light household tasks or homework help when needed. I am certified in First Aid and CPR. Minimum Hourly Rate: $25 (applies to all bookings, including recurring jobs) Minimum Booking Time: 3 hours Let me know what questions you have—I look forward to talking with you about your childcare needs! In the meantime, here’s a quick recap: ✅ 3 years of experience with toddlers, children, tweens & teens 🎓 Master’s degree; starting graduate school in clinical psychology (Pepperdine, Fall 2025) 🗣️ Bilingual: English & German 🧑‍🏫 Background in K–12 teaching, language instruction & test development 🧸 Experience in home & event settings, including with KiddieCorp (nationally recognized childcare company) 📚 Storytime volunteer at the Los Angeles Ronald McDonald House 🧘 Phone-free, calm, emotionally attuned, fun, and creative 🧩 Loves games, books, crafts & meaningful conversation with kids 🕒 Available weekday afternoons/evenings & weekends 💵 $25–30/hr (flexible for the right fit) 🚨 Certified CPR & First Aid

Alexandra H., Babysitter in Silver Lake, CA 90026 with 15 years of paid experience

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 🤍

Kharisma S., Babysitter in Silver Lake, CA 90026 with 8 years of paid experience

My name is Kharisma and i am originally from Denver, Colorado. I moved to Houston, TX about 3 years ago and have since then worked with many children in education environments, which includes being a lead teacher and assistant first at a Guidepost Montessori school and also daycares. I graduated in dental assisting and also worked as a pediatrics dental assistant. In that environment i had to learn how to comfort children in a time of confusion, or fright! Because the dentist was always scary to me as a kid. I am proficient in childcare including creating extracurricular activities, engaging with children, Taking walks outside is my favorite, being active, and building connection. I also strongly believe that i am good at my job because it isn't just a job to me its a passion. I adore children, I have always had a passion for watching children grow and develop their own little personalities. Now i am new to los angeles, ca and i am looking for new families to build connections with as i did in houston! I am so excited to meet and to be a comfort space for your children. What makes me a good role model? I am a good role model because every choice i make is intentional. I put thought and strategy into everything i do to produce good outcomes. I am a very understanding individual and courteous. I am confident in myself and everything i do. A good role model, not just for children but can be a great role model for adults as well, by showing them the knowledge if grown to understand about children over the years. I take my time, i am patient and respectful. I treat others how i would like to be treated and take everyone into consideration. I am a social butterfly and love to meet new people!
