April S., Babysitter in Universal City, CA 91608 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

Ariana L., Babysitter in Universal City, CA 91608 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Ariana, I’m 32 years old, and I’m an experienced nanny and babysitter currently based in Los Angeles for the past 3 years (previously was in NYC). I have over six years of childcare experience working with children ages 5–15, alongside seven years of professional experience in the tech industry. While I've only professionally worked with children from the ages of 5-15, I would still love the opportunity to support a family with a child under the age of 5! In addition to my childcare experience, I hold a Bachelor of Music degree with a minor in English Literature from Loyola University New Orleans, and I work as a professional vocalist and songwriter. My passion for childcare was inspired by my mother, who has dedicated over 30 years to the field in early childcare and childhood education. My most recent nanny positions were in New York City (2016–2018), where I cared for two families: one with three children (ages 5, 8, and 10) and another with two children (ages 7 and 11). I do own a car and can drive my car or a family car. I'm a very confident, reliable and safe driver and in NYC, I would haul around 3-5 kids every day after school to various after school programs or to family around the city! I’m energetic, fun, warm, patient, light-hearted and responsible, and highly reliable. I enjoy engaging kids in creative and enriching activities such as games, arts and crafts, music, imaginative play, baking, and cooking. I’m equally comfortable helping with homework, managing schedules, driving to activities, and keeping the household running smoothly with cleaning, meal prep, and organization. I truly love working with children and teenagers and take pride in creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to learn and grow. Thank you so much for considering my application!
