Kat P., Babysitter in South Pasadena, CA 91030 with 22 years of paid experience

Heyyyyyy :) I'm a credentialed teacher in Arts, Media and Entertainment, as well as a Certified Sub for K-12 Gen Ed and SPED. I've worked with kids for 20+ years as a sitter/nanny, piano-guitar-vocal-acting-comedy coach, camp instructor, after-school hw helper/tutor, choir teacher, choreographer, and overall playmate. I'm looking to expand my childcare to include more of my additional skills like music, comedy, acting, tutoring, or small-group and camp-style enrichment. Additional fun facts: I have a Cheweenie and love dogs! I've worked as a Zumba instructor for adults and kids. I'm 1/4th French Canadian and can help with French hw. My passion is where music and comedy collide. I grew up in the Boston area and played lots of sports as well including varsity lacrosse and field hockey- Go Panthers!

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!

Jeanine S., Babysitter in South Pasadena, CA 91030 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.

Sabre S., Babysitter in South Pasadena, CA 91030 with 11 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm Sabre. I'm 29 years old, based in Inglewood, and I genuinely love working with children. For the past 11+ years, I've had the privilege of caring for kids in a variety of settings. From babysitting and daycare to my current career in ABA therapy, where I work with children on the autism spectrum. Working with children isn't just something I do, it's what I've built my career around. I'm patient, dependable, playful when it's time to be, and calm when things get a little chaotic. Whether your child needs someone to keep up with their endless energy, help stick to a routine, or simply provide a safe, caring environment while you're away, I'm someone you can trust to treat them with kindness and genuine care. I know how important it is to leave your child with someone who feels like more than just a babysitter or nanny. My goal is always to give parents peace of mind while making sure the kids have a fun, engaging, and positive experience. I'm fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and happy to answer any questions you have. I'd love the chance to meet you and your family and see if we're a great fit. I hope to chat with you soon!

Melissa Y., Babysitter in South Pasadena, CA 91030 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 21 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.

Sara E., Babysitter in South Pasadena, CA 91030 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Sara, and it's so lovely to (virtually) meet you! I grew up in Orange County but recently moved to the Los Angeles area, and I am loving it so far. I’ve been babysitting since my late teens for the mothers in my neighborhood, and it helped me realize that I absolutely adore working with children and want a career in pediatrics. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan, and I’m currently taking a gap year and applying to graduate schools to become a pediatric speech language pathologist. In pursuit of future graduate programs, I recently collected over 30 clinical observation hours alongside ASHA licensed speech language pathologists. I also spent the summer of 2024 working as a behavioral technician at Creative Solutions for Hope, which helped me gain experience working with special needs children. I’m also very passionate about working with the Deaf community, and I’ve been learning ASL for the past 6 years.
