Hi Parents! 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 moved to L.A. from FL in 2025. In FL 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 that I’ve nurtured over the years. Amazing to watch them grow into adults with careers. I have 8 LA area references, which I can provide you with their contact info. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I'm a divorced empty-nester, so my schedule is wide-open for your convenience. My 22 yr old daughter also lives in Hollywood, we get together a few times a week. 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.

Melissa watched our 19 month old and he had a blast. She took her time letting him get comfortable with her and then helped him enjoy all his favorite things all day long. We've already booked her for more time and we just know she's going to be one of our boy's favorite sitters in no time!

A hard-working babysitter that’s willing to pick your kids up from school. Stay overnight if needed, I also work weekends,/during the week. And I’m also willing to do a little extra to do house chores including washing dishes, cleaning the house, doing laundry, grocery shopping, and occasionally clean the refrigerator. I have experience with all ages I’ve been babysitting since I was in middle school my first official babysitting job with my next-door neighbor growing up.

Wendy was lovely! She was extremely engaging with my three-year-old, which was refreshing. She was patient and checked in with me the first time sitting to make sure I was comfortable with activities, foods, etc. for my daughter. She was respectful and kind.

Lupita has been such an incredible part of our family for nearly two years, and it is hard to put into words how much she means to us. She has cared for my oldest son since he was just 10 months old and has loved my youngest from the very day he was born. She has a true gift with children. Every day she finds creative, engaging ways to keep them learning and having fun, from thoughtful crafts to educational activities that spark their curiosity. My boys absolutely adore her. Their faces light up with excitement every morning when she walks through the door, and that says everything about the love and care she gives them. Lupita is incredibly dependable, trustworthy, and always punctual. Knowing my children were with her gave me complete peace of mind. She has loved and cared for my boys as if they were her own, and we will miss her more than words can express.

I have about 27 yrs of experience. I just love, love, love, babies and children, and have worked with all ages, from newborns to teenagers! I have 15 units of Child Development. I have worked at a daycare and for LA and Pasadena Unified School Districts and because of this, I consider myself an infant and toddler teacher because I gained a lot of experience as one. I have a lot of fun and exciting age-appropriate learning activities that the children enjoy! I know and teach some baby signs and Spanish to the children that I work with. I also teach phonics and other pre-reading/reading skills along with sight words, digraphs, and blends. I also teach beginners addition and subtraction in a fun way! So the children that I work with are always smarter and ready for preschool and/or kindergarten.

I can't recommend Wendy enough! She is amazing with our now 8-month-old son and has been a huge help to our family. She knows babies and is such a calm, loving presence. We love that she does a lot of early language development activities with him-- lots of books, phonics, songs, etc. and he is always really stimulated and engaged during his time with her. We feel so lucky we found her! Highly recommend!!

We were very happy to find Kiera! She came for a meet & greet and our 2 young kids were immediately drawn to her. We are looking for some occasional help for date nights and school breaks for our oldest. She's been very quick to respond and easy to schedule with. She is very kind and easy going and the kids had a great time with her. Our youngest can sometimes be difficult to warm up to new people and have a hard time when I leave but she enjoyed her time with Kiera and both kids have asked for her to come back. We look forward to seeing her again, it's nice to have people that your kids are happy to spend time with!

Hello! My name is Hye , and I have over 15 years of professional nanny experience. Throughout my career, I have cared for many newborns and infants and have extensive experience supporting babies through their early stages of growth and development. I am also a mother of two, bringing both professional experience and a mother's warmth and understanding to my work. I especially enjoy infant care and preparing nutritious, high-quality homemade solid foods using fresh, wholesome ingredients. I create a warm, safe, and loving environment where children can feel secure, happy, and comfortable while learning and growing. I enjoy reading, playing, drawing, going to the library and park, and helping children explore with curiosity and joy. I can also teach children Korean, and it is incredibly rewarding and fun when they quickly begin to understand and communicate with me in Korean. I am loving, patient, dependable, and dedicated, and I would be happy to become a trusted part of your family.

Hye was with our family for a year and a half and she was nothing short of exceptional. She became a part of our family and really kept the ship afloat. She loved our daughter and expertly raised her from three months old. Hye made her food, established a schedule, took care of all her clothes and room, and went above and beyond in taking initiative to promote our daughter's intellectual development. She was easy to work with and made communication very easy. As both my husband and I had extensive travel, Hye was integral to allowing us to pursue our careers by being flexible with her schedule and able to accommodate odd hours. We were very sad to leave LA and Hye, and miss her deeply. I give her my highest recommendation.

I’m a full-time nanny with a Master’s degree in Psychology open for babysitting! I’ve been with my current family for 3 1/2 years, taking care of their oldest from 6mos-2years and their youngest from 3mos-20mos. I have really loved working with them and they have truly become family. I have nannied and babysat for infants as young as 7 weeks to children as old as 11 years, with my most extensive experience being in baby and toddler care. I am very familiar and comfortable with the newborn eat/sleep/play cycle, as well as sleep training and bottle weaning. I have worked for families with up to 3 kids, and previously worked at a daycare where I took care of up to 8 children at once, all under 3 years old. I have been working with children since I took the Red Cross Babysitter’s course at age 12 (16 years ago!), and I’ve been to luck to form really amazing relationships with my nanny families over the years. Originally from North Carolina, I’ve been out in LA for 6 years now and love it! I'm located in the Beachwood Canyon area, have a reliable car (2019 Volvo), and I love animals (I have a cat myself!). In my spare time, I love baking, hiking, going to concerts, and traveling. I also plan to eventually pursue a PhD in psychology! I look forward to seeing if we are a match! :)

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Phoebe as our nanny for the past 3.5 years. She has cared for both of our children from infancy through toddlerhood, and has been such a dependable, positive presence in our family's life. She is consistently reliable and respectful of our parenting style, as well as our requests and routines.What we've appreciated most is how genuinely engaged she's been with our children. It's obvious that she truly cares about them, and they absolutely adore her. I can't recommend her highly enough and any family would be lucky to have her.

Hi! My name is Sandy, and I have a heartfelt passion for working with children that began when I volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House Charities. That experience inspired me to continue serving kids and families, which led to my current role as a Kids Ministry teacher at my church. I’m also a babysitter for a wonderful family, and while I continue to enjoy that position, I’m currently looking for a full time opportunity to expand my work with children. I’m CPR certified and committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for kids. In addition to childcare, I have a strong creative side, I'm an event planner and event stylist, which means I love bringing joy to families through thoughtful details and memorable experiences. I’m also a foodie who enjoys cooking (especially with little helpers!) and an outdoor enthusiast who loves hiking and staying active. With a blend of creativity, care, and hands-on experience, I bring a well-rounded and joyful approach to every family I work with.

Hello, my name is Kuei Mei Chen (I go by Carol Chen). A little about me: I moved here from Taiwan in 1998, and I have five years of experience working as a nanny/caregiver, 3 of which includes experience caring for an infant. I truly enjoy caring for young children. Accompanying them as they grow, watching them from crawling to learning how to walk, to guiding them in discovering the world around them and helping them learn to communicate and speak, I deeply enjoy every part of the process.
