Arlene P., Child Care in Altadena, CA 91001 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Arlene, although most of the children I care for know me as Leni. What makes my childcare experience a little unique is my background in veterinary nursing, which has given me a strong level of preparedness, medical awareness, and confidence when handling situations that require extra care or attention. I feel that experience has significantly supported my work throughout the past 6 years of part-time childcare. I have experience caring for infants through 12-year-olds, including nanny shares, siblings, and multiples. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, CPR certified, and background checked. I enjoy keeping children active and engaged through outdoor play, reading, crafts, library visits, educational outings, museums, and activities centered around history and learning. I aim to create a safe, dependable, and nurturing environment where children can have fun, explore, and feel comfortable in my care.

Good communicator, and super friendly to the children. You know they've had a good time when they want to hug their sitter goodbye :)

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!

Melissa Y., Child Care in Altadena, CA 91001 with 40 years of paid experience

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.

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!!

Jeanine S., Child Care in Altadena, CA 91001 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.

Sandy M., Child Care in Altadena, CA 91001 with 7 years of paid experience

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.
