Hello! I'm Ivonne, a professional nanny with about nine years of paid experience caring for children from newborns through preschool age. I've worked with families of all sizes, including caring for five children under the age of five, and I'm confident managing multiple children while providing attentive, individualized care. My priority is creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I respect each family's routines, household rules, and parenting preferences, and I strive to provide reliable, consistent care. I have reliable transportation, communicate well with both parents and children, and am comfortable administering prescribed medications when needed. My experience also includes caring for children with eczema, sensory processing disorders, allergies, and supporting sleep training. I value professionalism, dependability, and building trusting relationships with the families I work with. References are available upon request. I look forward to learning more about your family's childcare needs and seeing if we'd be a great fit. Side note I don’t travel on vacation with families.

I want to give a huge thank you to Ivonne for taking care of my baby twice a week for the past six months. She is an amazing caregiver who went above and beyond to keep my baby happy, comfortable, and engaged. Whether it was taking her to the park, drawing pictures, or reading to her, Ivonne always found ways to make my baby smile. I appreciated her reliability and knowledge of toddlers, which gave me peace of mind while I was working. I highly recommend Ivonne to any parent looking for a loving and trustworthy babysitter.

Hello, my name is Alex, and I am a fun-loving caregiver with 8 years of experience across all age groups. I have a very flexible schedule, and I can often work last minute if needed! I am currently completing a master's in Counseling Psychology to become a marriage and family therapist, and I recently concluded nannying for 3 wonderful siblings aged 3, 6, and 8. I have two younger brothers whom I babysat for years, alongside various other preschool, elementary, and middle school-aged children. I have a BA in psychology and was fortunate to learn a great deal about child development during my education. I love art, music, and sports, so I can help keep your youngster entertained! I am also an experienced cook and am happy to take on household tasks such as meal preparation, cleaning, laundry, transportation, and animal care. I can also help with bedtime routines and stay late or overnight if needed. Whether you are looking for occasional or long-term care, I look forward to hearing from you!

Alex worked for us part time for a year and helped our household function. You would be lucky to hire Alex for any childcare needs. She has a great approach with the kids and is very flexible to help out with whatever you need. My 3 kids loved spending time with Alex (as did we!) and we would not hesitate to hire her for any childcare moving forward. She is amazing with young kids (our son was 3) as well as older (6-9) and lovingly holds boundaries while being very fun. We wish she could be part of our family for longer!

Great with the kiddos. Was fun and speaks right away to the kiddos. Also clear and firm with boundaries, so they know she’s the one in charge. Great at keeping them on track for the evening and guiding the course of their time together!

We have been beyond blessed having Erica take care of our 19-month-old son for the last 6 weeks. She reads him book after book, she plays with blocks and cars and chases him around until they are both cracking up laughing. She handles his lunch, bath time, and nap time every day (and he is not an easy one to nap for most people). What I was really amazed with was her level of engagement with him. My husband and I work from home and we could hear her talking to him and laughing with him all day. He asks for her and talks about her constantly when she's not here and we were heartbroken when our local daycare had a spot open up for him. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their child.

Very happy with Jessica. She was very good with our toddler and it was clear she has a LOT of experience dealing with them and independently supervising them. Highly recommend and would hire her again. She communicates well, was always punctual and respectful.

I am a 47 year old mom to a 15 year old wonderful young man. I started taking care of children when I was 13 years old. I love children and want them to have a positive healthy atmosphere and good nutrition. I think structure is important like having a consistent routine for sleep and eating. I feel that music should be on most of the time. I was born in New York to immigrant parents from Greece. I speak Greek fluently and have studied other languages including French and Spanish. I love to cook, bake, go fishing and garden. I have experience with children with special needs and understand the challenges and joys that come from them.

Hello I'm Camilla, I am not your average nanny. I am a nurturing musical nanny who prioritizes safety and communication with parents. When it comes to infants, I provide helpful tips for first time parents, from baby proofing to using music from the newborn stage to support comfort, learning, and early development. Research and KTLA News have shown how infants respond to music and its benefits for early brain activity, attention, and engagement. I have seen first hand how, right before my eyes, music promotes early speech and curiosity. Infants often sing or vocalize along with music before they can fully articulate words, helping them connect sounds to language and tasks, even venturing into math. As a responsive and listening nanny, I have great success communicating with toddlers. I anticipate outcomes and help them navigate moments of frustration. As early as nine months, I teach rhythm, movement, rhyming, and how syllables connect in children as young as two. These patterns support early reading skills and encourage critical thinking. With a background in nursing and music, it is incredibly rewarding to see babies recognize my songs, then hear toddlers sing them and become engaged when I read to them. In my spare time I enjoy writing stories and composing songs that support developmental milestones. Music is one of my tools to soothe and stimulate infants while helping toddlers and young children navigate boundaries, new skills, potty training, and challenging moments. I compose songs that meet children's needs, bring enjoyment, and promote self esteem while encouraging them to keep trying. I also apply principles from Music Therapy and Occupational Therapy to support learning and development. Including children's individual interests helps build strong connections and spark curiosity. I am confident providing homework support and engaging children in creative arts activities. I bring a strong work ethic and can be counted on to be reliable and dedicated. I studied Music at UCLA and have a passion for teaching. I promote healthy snacks, stay up to date on vaccinations, and follow hygiene guidelines. I am available full or part time, for date nights, and as a mothers helper. I am comfortable around pets and have plenty of energy to keep up with growing little ones. Thank you for reading.

Nanette is the best sitter we've ever had!! She is the only person outside of my family that I have felt 100% comfortable leaving my daughter with. She always knows what to do and you can tell that she's a great mom, which is very important in my opinion! Nanette also looks after our dog when we're out of town, and every time she comes to pick her up, our dog gets overly excited. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nanette to anyone!
