I Ain't Afraid of No .... Diaper! .....or Toddler! .....or Teenager! Bonjour Parents. My name is Karen. I am originally from Toronto, Canada and have been living in LA for 8 years now. I have been a professional, stay home mom with 3 grown, wonderful, successful teenagers. My children are bilingual in French and my eldest daughter graduated in June 2024 as Valedictorian. The teens have fledged now so I have a flexible schedule to provide occasional or part-time sitting for you. I live in Valley Village and service the San Fernando Valley. I have been with Sitter City for almost 2 years and have been very fortunate to provide my services to many incredible families whose children I just adore! In August 2024, I held a substitute position at a daycare, helping to care for 12 little ones under 2 years old. I do children and pets well. I love playing traditional board games, doing puzzles, reading stories - Dr. Seuss is my best friend! Singing songs, going out for walks, playing in the park and creating fun adventures. I genuinely enjoy being a sitter and love to help, teach, play with the children I care for. I am also 100% animal friendly. You name it - I've either owned it or experienced it. I am trustworthy, responsible, punctual, kind and patient. I offer 19 years of hands-on experience, maturity and knowledge to keep your child(ren) safe, happy and entertained when you need to be away. I do not have a criminal record and I have my own vehicle, with a clear driving record of 44 years! I do not smoke, vape or use any recreational drugs (never have!) I am certified with The Red Cross Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED, CDSS Child Abuse & Neglect Reporter and my immunizations are up-to-date. Merci. Who Ya Gonna Call?!! Karen @ (818) 579-3081

I am a young, energetic, genuine and affectionate man. My biggest strengths are my emotional intelligence, my kindness, creativity & being an effective communicator. I have over half a decade of multifaceted childcare experience including jobs like on-call babysitting, teacher's assistant, daycare and preschool floater, and assistant P.E teacher. I currently do on call nannying for five different families, one of which I've known for six years. I am looking to add more families and gain more experience. I think choosing to hire me means that in return you get someone who is dependable, someone you can trust, someone who takes initiative and goes the extra mile, and most importantly, someone your child gets excited about spending time with.

Professionally, I have spent over 10 years in project management and operations roles, which has made me highly organized, reliable, and calm under pressure.

Hi families! I’m Allie — a warm, reliable, and deeply experienced caregiver with over 15+ years of supporting children and families. I’ve been caring for kids for as long as I can remember. As the oldest of four, (with my youngest sibling being 12 years younger than me) I naturally stepped into the role of helper, nurturer, and playful guide from a young age. Caring for children has always felt like second nature to me - it’s where I learned patience, intuition, and the quiet art of tuning into what a child needs...whether comfort, structure, play, or simply someone to be fully present with them. Over the years I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to teens, and families often describe me as calming, creative, and someone they and their kids can rely on. I love the power of imagination and play, and I genuinely enjoy getting on a child’s level - creating worlds, exploring ideas, and helping them feel safe to be themselves. Creativity is a big part of my career as well, and I find childcare to be beautifully symbiotic: kids expand my imagination just as much as I support theirs. Outside of caregiving, I’m a former corporate marketing lead, turned feminine leadership and mindset coach, so I bring emotional intelligence, grounded communication, structure, and a steady, supportive presence into every environment I enter. And as someone who hopes to have children of my own in the next few years, I take this work to heart. I treat every child with the same care, attention, and respect I’d want for my own. I can support your family with: • Part-time care (up to 25 hours/week) • Before or After-school help • Creative activities + outdoor play • Meal prep • Homework guidance • Morning and/or Bedtime routines • Light household support • School pickups/drop-offs If you’re looking for someone warm, trustworthy, and deeply committed to your children’s wellbeing, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit. Looking forward to meeting your family 🤍
