Babysitter Lead - Valley
I rec'd this from a friend of mine:
"I have a babysitter that has been working for us for over four years. She has a friend that is just as realiable, drives her own car, is a senior at El Camino High and is available immediately for babysitting. She has accompanied our sitter on many occassions and we trust her as much as we do our current sitter. Her name is Tanya and she also happens to have a cousin who is autistic and has some knowledge about children with special needs.  She is open to babysitting weekends or weekdays after school. I have found it helpful to have a schedule set for our sitter that is fairly consistent on a weekly basis and we pay our sitter a weekly salary not to exceed a certain amount of hours. Tanya her friend is looking for a similar situation... . although not limited to that type of thing... Tanya gets out of school at 3:15pm and would be available at appproximately 3:30pm weekdays. Again, she is also available weekends... and could easily handle more than one child. She has a 11yr old sister and 13 yr old brother who she has babysat since she was young. Tanya lives on White Oak and Victory.. however attends El Camino in Woodland Hills and can drive so she is flexible regarding the area of the valley that she can babysit. We pay our sitter, $10 per hour regardless of how many kids she is watching.. but we treat her well and pay her consistently so she can depend on the money. Again, Tanya would welcome the same type of treatment. If you are interested in meeting or hiring Tanya please feel free to contact me directly and I will provide you with her information. I can be reached at lena_la2000 at yahoo.com"
