Hi! I’m a mom of two boys who are in elementary school and have been a step mom to tween and a teenager. I enjoy staying and keeping the little ones active and miss helping them reach their milestones. I have my own transportation, can cook, help around the house if need be. I feel being a loving mother to my own is helpful to caring for someone else’s. I am however allergic to cats but don’t have any issues with any other pets. I look forward to joining your team and helping out wherever it’s needed.

Yessenia is responsible, trustworthy and fun! She was always upfront about everything going on with my 3 and 6 year olds… the good, bad and ugly lol. I fully recommend her. She is a great person and hard worker. She worked with us for almost a year and was always on time and reliable. My boys love her. They are now in school or we would continue.

I really like Susana. My daughter loved her! You can really tell she enjoys babysitting and takes pride in being a good baby sitter. My daughter has a food allergy and she asked alot of questions about to make sure she knew what do to do if she had a reaction. It is also nice you find someone you can trust and your child likes. I would recommend her to anyone! She is awesome. Also you know she is good when she shows up with coloring books, a Disney movie for her and your child to play with!

My named is Rachel, I am a mother of 2 adult children and Oma to 1 grandson. I have worked with developmental disable/non-disable children/adults for over 25 years. *18 years as an F/T Asst. Supervisor/Direct Care/Behavioral Specialist. *8 years as a P/T Direct Support Professional for a private residence with 1 1/2 years of rehabilitation/speech for a 2 different young men injured in automobile accidents. *8 years as a P/T/and currently as a sub contractor Community Integration Specialist. In 2011 I retired to take care of my then soon to be grandson who was born with Hypohdrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia. He lived with me and I was his F/T care-provider for 6 1/2 years, also home schooled him pre-k though kindergarten. Last summer he moved away and I have found I have a lot of free time. So in October I started working again and was employed as a P/T nanny for a 4-year-old boy that I had care for occasionally since birth, but in December his grandmother was lucky enough to move closer and now takes care of him. I am a nurturer by nature. I love children, animals, mother nature and being able to maybe make a difference no matter how small.

Rachel just started looking in on my puppy (Dodge) recently to make sure he is a happy camper. So far Rachel has been reliable, affectionate towards Dodge and would recommend to others seeking similar help.

I have had the privilege of working closely with Akiah, and I can confidently say that she is an exceptional candidate for a nanny position. Akiah has a gentle spirit and caring nature that allows children to feel safe and comfortable under her care. She instinctively builds trust with children, offering them the comfort they need while providing consistent and reliable support. Akiah’s loving heart and empathetic demeanor make her an ideal caretaker for children of all ages. In addition to her compassionate approach, Akiah is extremely well-organized and is able to handle multiple tasks and responsibilities without feeling overwhelmed. She is thorough in following instructions and is always prepared to adjust to the needs of the children in her care. Akiah is also patient and considerate when interacting with children, parents, and co-workers. Her ability to communicate effectively and maintain a calm demeanor, even in challenging situations, speaks to her professionalism and maturity. I am confident that Akiah will be a wonderful asset to any family fortunate enough to have her as a nanny. Her dedication, kindness, and strong work ethic will make her an invaluable caregiver. I highly recommend her for this position, knowing she will provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for children. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for further information. Sincerely, Kimberly Paniccia Lead Children’s Volunteer at Calvary Nexus Church

I have been a babysitter (more times than I can count), a nanny for several families in the Ventura area through the years, and I'm a mom to three of my own (17-26). So I have experience with every age of childhood. Since my children are grown I really miss the baby/toddler years and would love to be of help to you while yours are growing up. I'm interested in a part-time position.
