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

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.

Marlene G., Child Care in Altadena, CA 91001 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Marlene and I have over 20 years of childcare experience and I would love to watch and play with your child or children for your next date night, important meeting, event, or for any reason at all! I, myself, am a mother of four adult children who I raised -- all of whom are successful young adults pursuing their careers and academics. It is always my honor and privilege to care for children by helping and supporting their parents when childcare is needed. I am used to watching single or multiple children at a time ranging from newborns to the teenage years and children of all needs. I am responsible, fun, caring, and most importantly I always have the safety and well-being of your child or children at the forefront of my childcare responsibility. Having raised four children of my own, two of them being less than 18 months apart, I know firsthand the responsibility, care, and work required to ensure a safe, age appropriate, engaging environment for children. I am your person! So many of the families I have cared for over the years have always told me they see me as an extension of their own family, like an aunt, grandma, an older sister, and to this day I still am in contact with many of those families, with some of them grown up themselves. I would be happy to provide those references for you. I can do it all, from crafts, coloring, and activities, homework help, reading to them, preparing meals for the children, clean up together, engaging with the children with games, putting them to sleep, and following any specific routine you have in mind for your children. Think of me as an extension of you! I would be honored to watch your child. I know finding and trusting someone to watch your child is not easy, but I promise you that with me, you will feel at ease and I will make sure you feel comfortable and great about your decision in hiring me for your next outing!

Marlene is by far the finest Nanny we have ever had. Being a mother of 3 adult children herself she was a "super nanny" to our 3 children, ubering them around busy schedules, preparing food and developing wonderful relationships with each child. She would be an asset to any family and is also a wonderful sitter, always entertaining, engaging the kids and above giving us all peace if mind.

Bertha S., Child Care in Altadena, CA 91001 with 4 years of paid experience

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 has watched my daughter a few times now and I think she's a fabulous caregiver. She is great with my daughter. She's fed her meals, taken care of her when sick, and put her down for naps. She stepped into babysitting for us so seamlessly. I can't say enough good things about her!

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!

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!

Hi, I'm Hailey! I’m a Los Angeles native and a creative, hands-on nanny who truly loves working with children of all ages. Outside of childcare, I enjoy going to the beach, riding my bike, writing, reading, knitting and volunteering. I’m energetic, reliable, and deeply committed to helping children grow through play, creativity, and meaningful engagement with the world around them. I believe children thrive in environments that balance structure with creativity and independence. I prioritize hands-on engagement, outdoor play, and curiosity-driven learning while maintaining clear boundaries and routines.
