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!!

Hi y’all! I’m Maddrey (lovingly nicknamed Maddrey Poppins) a college-educated, fully vaccinated, career nanny with over 10 years of experience as a babysitter, teacher (PK2-8th grade), tutor (elementary school), and nursery/daycare supervisor ready for work in the Glendale and East Los Angeles area. I've worked with children as young as 8 weeks up to young teens and I'm CPR, AED, and First Aid Certified from infant through adult. When I work with kids I enjoy creating fun snacks, playing games (just taught a children’s Dungeons and Dragon’s course) goofing around, and being outside on a beautiful day! I have an arts background that provides me with a creativity that can support any child’s strengths. My care style boils down to the idea that any activity or experience is a teaching opportunity and that’s there’s always a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. I think emotional literacy, empathy, and the comfort to feel big feelings is one of the most important parts of raising a child. I have a dog and cat so I get along with any furry friend you may have! I have a reliable car and a clean driving record (except a parking meter ticket in West Hollywood from 2017 that I’m still bitter about!). Most recently I nannied for a trio of kids 7,10, and 13 with tons of extracurricular activities. The only reason I left this family is because I had to move. Previously I’ve nannied a two year old girl, brothers ages 2 and 3, a 15 month old girl, a pair of sisters 10 and 6, boy/girl 7 year old twins, another 15 month old girl, and twin 9 year old girls. All of whose families would absolutely love to provide references. I'm looking for part time work but my hours are flexible. My rate is negotiable but I have a long-standing background in childcare with unbeatable references and that’s just the tip of the iceberg of what I bring to your families! I can’t wait to meet you and make your lives easier in any way I can!

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 from newborn age 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.

Hi! My name is Bertha Sanchez, I’m currently a nursing student at Fullerton with ambitions of becoming a RN Pediatric Nurse. I love kids and want to provide better care for kids of all backgrounds with care and understanding. I’m offering child care and light household services while kids are asleep. I love all animals, personally I have 2 cats and 1dog. I love being a babysitter, I’ve been watching babies and toddlers since I was 15! I enjoy activities with kids like coloring, playing outside, reading and singing. With infants I love to put on music, and talking to them is essential for their development as well as plenty of love and attention. I’m always up for a challenge and to try new things! As of now I’m a pharmacy technician and a CNA(certified nursing assistant) although I’m still furthering my nursing career. -Basic Life Support provider certified through the American Heart Association -Hospital Fire and Life Safety certified through SureFire -CPR certified through SureFire

Bertha watched our 6 week old for 3 days, about 6hr each day. She was easy to communicate with. The most responsive person I have worked with. She is thorough and thoughtful. She is clearly very bright and has a great future ahead of her.

Additional fun facts: I have a Cheweenie and love dogs! I've worked as a Zumba instructor for adults and kids. I'm 1/4th French Canadian and can help with French hw. My passion is where music and comedy collide. I grew up in the Boston area and played lots of sports as well including varsity lacrosse and field hockey- Go Panthers!

Kat is a great sitter, and my wife & I are lucky when she watches our son. She has a great energy that all children would connect with, plus she has a focused mindset that puts any parent’s minds at ease. She fits as either a date-night sitter or a regular addition to a family routine. She’s a hard worker, good communicator,, and legitimately the funniest sitter we’ve ever had. (I think her voice even popped up in some of our son’s cartoons too!) Kat is at the top of our list for sitters, so as long as you don’t book her for a night we’d like, then I’d highly recommend!

Evelyn is an absolute gem! She has cared for our 4 and 6-year-old for over a year and treats them like her own. Our boys adore her, and it's easy to see why — she's warm, reliable, and consistently goes above and beyond. As parents, trust means everything, and Evelyn has earned ours completely. We highly recommend her!
