Lupita has been such an incredible part of our family for nearly two years, and it is hard to put into words how much she means to us. She has cared for my oldest son since he was just 10 months old and has loved my youngest from the very day he was born. She has a true gift with children. Every day she finds creative, engaging ways to keep them learning and having fun, from thoughtful crafts to educational activities that spark their curiosity. My boys absolutely adore her. Their faces light up with excitement every morning when she walks through the door, and that says everything about the love and care she gives them. Lupita is incredibly dependable, trustworthy, and always punctual. Knowing my children were with her gave me complete peace of mind. She has loved and cared for my boys as if they were her own, and we will miss her more than words can express.

Hi! I’m Arlene, although most of the children I care for know me as Leni. What makes my childcare experience a little unique is my background in veterinary nursing, which has given me a strong level of preparedness, medical awareness, and confidence when handling situations that require extra care or attention. I feel that experience has significantly supported my work throughout the past 6 years of part-time childcare. I have experience caring for infants through 12-year-olds, including nanny shares, siblings, and multiples. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, CPR certified, and background checked. I enjoy keeping children active and engaged through outdoor play, reading, crafts, library visits, educational outings, museums, and activities centered around history and learning. I aim to create a safe, dependable, and nurturing environment where children can have fun, explore, and feel comfortable in my care.

Good communicator, and super friendly to the children. You know they've had a good time when they want to hug their sitter goodbye :)

Hello! My name is Lyle and I can't wait to meet you! I have nannied young infants as early as 3 months and have worked as a preschool teacher for ages 2-4 years. My primary form of work is in dance and yoga so I have a big love of movement and the arts! When babysitting I enjoy taking children outdoors to run around, creating indoor crafts, as well as homework help and more. I see myself as more than just a “sitter” but a true lending hand in the upbringing of your children, so please feel free to ask me as many questions as you wish. *I also have experience watching children with T1 and other physical/mental specialties.

Lyle was extremely responsive, professional, punctual, and our daughter had a great time with her! However, her rates are a little too high for us to use as consistently as we’d like.

Hey there! I'm Paralee and I am a childcare professional in Los Angeles. My personality is upbeat and loving; I have been successfully providing exceptional care for children and families for over 10 years in the Los Angeles area. I am most experienced caring for children from ages 15 months to 16 years. Some of my most notable experiences include being a site director for a reputable Los Angeles based summer camp for 3 years and teaching 12th grade at an LA charter school. I love creating engaging activities and helping children set healthy daily habits. I am very meticulous in following the details parents have laid out for their children to follow. Helping families thrive is very rewarding. I can help with meal preparation, children’s laundry, light housekeeping, school pickups/drop offs and homework help. I am reliable and down-to-Earth. I would love to tell you more about my experience as a babysitter/nanny in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas. If you are looking for reliable support, I would love to hear from you! Warm Regards, Paralee

My kids loved having Paralee watch them while my husband and I were out for the night. She took the time to get to know my kids and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she was prepared for the job. The kids had a great time with her. They said she was very kind and makes excellent paper airplanes. She was great with our dog, too. I would definitely recommend Paralee and look forward to booking her again soon.

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 22 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 10 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.

Melissa is absolutely wonderful. She is extremely easy to communicate with, was very understanding with all of our requests for the care of our child, and most importantly, our child absolutely loved her right away and continues to. From the first moment she walked in, my normally shy child was happy to see me walk away. Melissa has come over a few times now, and is always on time, a great communicator, and follows our instructions. Couldn’t recommend her more!

I have 10 years of experience working with children, ranging from infants as young as one week to young adults up to 20. For 7 years, I worked in a daycare setting, where I gained valuable hands-on experience in managing multiple children and fostering their problem-solving skills. Currently, I have been working in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for the past 3 years providing direct support to children on the autism spectrum and those with behavioral disorders. In addition to my professional background, I have personal experience as the oldest of five siblings, which has further enriched my understanding of child development and care. Children are my passion, and I believe that investing in their growth is vital for our future. My goal is to support children and their families in any way I can. Please note that my hourly rate will not change based on how many children you have. Hourly rate can also be negotiated for long term opportunities.

Magdalena N.
We've been fortunate to have her as our babysitter for the past nine months, and she has been nothing short of amazing with our family. She has cared for our 4-year-old, 9-year-old, and 10-year-old, and from day one she has shown an incredible amount of patience, kindness, and genuine care. Our two sons are autistic, and she has consistently met them with compassion, understanding, and unwavering support. She has built meaningful relationships with them in a way that I've honestly never seen another babysitter do. She takes the time to understand each child's unique needs, communicates with them respectfully, and has even helped us as parents learn new ways to better support and connect with our boys. One of the things we appreciate most is how intentional she is about making sure all three of our children feel included. She creates activities that everyone can participate in, encourages teamwork, and helps each child feel valued. She also empowers our kids to advocate for themselves, develop confidence, and practice important life skills in age-appropriate ways. Knowing our children are in her care gives us complete peace of mind. She is dependable, knowledgeable, nurturing, and truly invested in the well-being of the children she works with. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done for our family, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for an exceptional babysitter. She would be an amazing addition to any home.

Hello, my name is Kuei Mei Chen (I go by Carol Chen). A little about me: I moved here from Taiwan in 1998, and I have five years of experience working as a nanny/caregiver, 3 of which includes experience caring for an infant. I truly enjoy caring for young children. Accompanying them as they grow, watching them from crawling to learning how to walk, to guiding them in discovering the world around them and helping them learn to communicate and speak, I deeply enjoy every part of the process.
