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!

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!

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.

I have so much experience when it comes to kids. I have been told by so many parents that I am great with kids. Parents have hired me right off the bat from just seeing me interact with their kids. I have always given them the sense of security. I am a honest, loving, loyal person and trusty worthy with children. I am currently working full time in healthcare for one of the biggest hospitals in Southern California for almost 10 yrs. I am looking for something part time. I will be starting the RN program soon as well as part of a reason I am looking for a part time job.
