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

April is professional, dependable, and exceptionally caring. Her experience really shows in the way she engages with the children—she’s patient, attentive, and always finds creative ways to keep our child entertained. We appreciate her strong communication skills (text updates and photos) and the calm, confident manner she brings to every situation. She’s adaptable, thoughtful, and takes initiative, which gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. Our child absolutely adores her, and we always return to a happy home. We truly couldn’t ask for a better babysitter and highly recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy and experienced.

Roxana is an amazing sitter! We had her watch our little guy and I could tell she had lots of experience with kids. I was pleased with her knowledge of how to handle infants and she was able to get him down for a nap with ease. Definitely recommend!

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 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 5-8 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.

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!

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 🤍
