Find experienced babysitters in Topanga, CA

Greetings!  My name is Lisa Coombs and I am currently seeking part-time work as a babysitter or mother's helper in the West Hollywood area.  I am thirty-nine years old and I have been babysitting since I was thirteen, so you might say I've been doing this for a while!  In addition to working for many individual families I have also worked as a drama teacher and daycamp counselor.  I love kids and I'm great at connecting with them and developing a rapport very quickly.  I have experience with all age groups and temperaments so I'm ready to handle just about anything.  My favorite kids' activities are playing board games, reading books and doing arts and crafts- but I'm happy to join them in any activity they like (unless it's drawing on the walls of course!)  I've got the energy to run around with them but I can also calm them down when it's time for bed (I sing lullabies!).  As an actor I am naturally entertaining and creative as well as warm, caring and nurturing.  If these are the qualities you are looking for in a sitter then you should give me a call!

With a passion for nurturing and education, I gained valuable experience as a nanny through Cultural Care, where I had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of families. My most enriching experience was caring for a lively 3-year-old boy, where I focused on fostering his creativity and development through engaging activities. I created a safe and stimulating environment, encouraging exploration and learning. My approach emphasizes patience, communication, and understanding, ensuring that each child feels supported and cherished. My time with Cultural Care has equipped me with the skills to adapt to different family dynamics and meet the unique needs of each child I care for.

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 am a young, energetic, genuine and affectionate man. My biggest strengths are my emotional intelligence, my kindness, creativity & being an effective communicator. I have over half a decade of multifaceted childcare experience including jobs like on-call babysitting, teacher's assistant, daycare and preschool floater, and assistant P.E teacher. I currently do on call nannying for five different families, one of which I've known for six years. I am looking to add more families and gain more experience. I think choosing to hire me means that in return you get someone who is dependable, someone you can trust, someone who takes initiative and goes the extra mile, and most importantly, someone your child gets excited about spending time with.

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 🤍
