Sittercity helps Marina del Rey families find the best child care providers

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!

Hi my name is Leticia. I have many years of experience in childcare. I babysat while in jr high and high school and have many nieces and nephews I sat for along the years. I was a stay at home mom for my two children, who are now grown. Later, I worked in an office for 15 years. I am now happy to be back doing what I am most passionate about. I am certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid and CPR. Currently I am caring part time for two young boys ages 5 and 8, but would like something more consistent. I love being around kids and teaching them about the world around us. Their curiosity excites me and their love for learning keeps me on my toes. I enjoy cooking, arts and crafts, playing board games, and being active outdoors. I am a reliable, kind, and trustworthy person. I can’t wait to meet your little ones.

I’m Harrison im from Los Angeles, I have 5+ years of child care experience with children that are nuero divergent (autism, cerebral palsy) specifically as well as non nuero divergent children, I’m an aspiring chef and in my spare time I work on a food pop up that I run with my girlfriend, I got into child care because I have younger sister with cerebral palsy and when I was younger we had a nanny that was the absolute best she was such an amazing help with me and my sister I really recognize her impact on my household and how much it helped us out, and It motivated me to want to do childcare because I thought i could hopefully be that positive impact as well, I am also very good with dogs of all sizes and breed I have 3 dogs a Doberman and 2 belgion malenois and me and my girlfriend and have rescued 2 Additional malenois in the past 6 months.

As a 36 year old Aunt of four children, I rarely get to see them as they live in Chicago. I do not have children of my own and it's difficult to fill that void. I have spent the last decade of my career in Corporate America and my moral compass has started to guide me in a different direction that better aligns with my skillset. Children and animals alike have the purest of hearts and as someone who is equal parts "girly girl" and an athletic Tomboy, I'm unique in that I can relate to just about any child and their interests. When I was living in Chicago, I cared for my sister's kids ~4days/week which included playing, helping with homework, tidying up, guiding, teaching and spreading laughter in the home. My Mother is a retired Oncology Nurse of 42 years and i'm grateful to have gotten her compassionate qualities. I've played nearly every sport, excelling in basketball, volleyball and soccer. I am a graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne and was our head social chair. I have an insatiable zest for life, love to be of service and have patience to boot. I would love to work with a family that is in need of someone like me throughout the course of the week. I'm very easy going, dynamic and flexible. Please feel free to reach out at any time to learn more!

Hi! I’m Melissa, a USC graduate based in Santa Monica with a lifelong love for working with kids and supporting families. Before starting my career in the media and entertainment industry, I spent several years working closely with children as a tutor, mentor, after-school program leader, and summer camp counselor. One of my most meaningful experiences was running an enrichment program for a local elementary school during college. Those early experiences shaped my values and continue to guide me today. Recently, I stepped away from full-time work in media to focus on more community-centered opportunities and reconnect with the kind of work that has always brought me the most joy—supporting kids as they grow, learn, and thrive. I also come from a big family and helped care for my younger brothers growing up, including one with an intellectual disability. I bring a nurturing, creative, and responsible approach to every family I work with. Whether your child needs tutoring, enrichment, or simply a warm and dependable presence, I’d love to support your family. Looking forward to connecting, Melissa
