Joseph took care of my two year old son full time for 5 months and then occasionally thereafter once my son transitioned to Pre-K. I can't say enough positive things about Joseph. Joseph took the time to model empathy and patience for my son and he understands how to deal with challenging behaviors in a gentle way. My son felt very comfortable around Joseph and always looked forward to when he could see him next. Joseph kept my son engaged in educational activities with a play-based learning style. His knowledge and expertise from his education as an Early Childhood Education specialist shows in the care he provided for my son. Joseph was very flexible with pick up/drop off times and he was always open to taking my son on excursions to the museum or park. Highly recommend Joseph for your childcare needs!

Hello, I'm Jessica. I'm the oldest of 5 kids and have 2 adult kids of my own. I love working with children of all ages and have experience with special needs children and adults as well. I'm honest and trustworthy and children seem to love me as well. My friends call me the "Baby Whisperer" and say that I have a way with kids that is rare. I've worked with children for over 25 years and its the most rewarding work for me. I am CPR/First Aid certified and have been completely vaccinated against COVID-19. I'm looking forward to working with children of all ages and backgrounds. We'll have a fun loving time and lots of smiles and giggles.

Jessica is fantastic. She’s always on time and has been available even with short notice, which we really appreciate. My daughter felt comfortable with her immediately, even though Jessica was the first person outside our family to care for her. She has such a calm, reassuring energy and a very poised personality. I would definitely work with her again.

Hello! My name is Hye , and I have over 15 years of professional nanny experience. Throughout my career, I have cared for many newborns and infants and have extensive experience supporting babies through their early stages of growth and development. I am also a mother of two, bringing both professional experience and a mother's warmth and understanding to my work. I especially enjoy infant care and preparing nutritious, high-quality homemade solid foods using fresh, wholesome ingredients. I create a warm, safe, and loving environment where children can feel secure, happy, and comfortable while learning and growing. I enjoy reading, playing, drawing, going to the library and park, and helping children explore with curiosity and joy. I can also teach children Korean, and it is incredibly rewarding and fun when they quickly begin to understand and communicate with me in Korean. I am loving, patient, dependable, and dedicated, and I would be happy to become a trusted part of your family.

Hye was with our family for a year and a half and she was nothing short of exceptional. She became a part of our family and really kept the ship afloat. She loved our daughter and expertly raised her from three months old. Hye made her food, established a schedule, took care of all her clothes and room, and went above and beyond in taking initiative to promote our daughter's intellectual development. She was easy to work with and made communication very easy. As both my husband and I had extensive travel, Hye was integral to allowing us to pursue our careers by being flexible with her schedule and able to accommodate odd hours. We were very sad to leave LA and Hye, and miss her deeply. I give her my highest recommendation.

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!

I’m a college student studying health sciences with a genuine love for working with kids and creating a safe, positive environment for them. I have several years of babysitting experience caring for my 8 nieces and nephews, with ages ranging from toddlers to preteens, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs—whether that’s playtime, helping with homework, or keeping things on schedule. I’m CPR and First Aid trained, reliable, patient, and attentive, and I always aim to make both kids and parents feel comfortable, supported, and confident in my care. Some of my hobbies include cooking, baking, playing games, and spending time with animals, so I’m happy to help in homes with pets. I have open availability that can meet your desired needs.

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.

Our family, especially my three children, absolutely adored “Argi.” She introduced all of us to new cultural aspects and ways of life. She taught my children with passion, care, patience, humor, and she’s an amazing cook as well. She put strong emphasis on healthy choices and nutrition in every meal and does it with endless amounts of love and care. She is respectful of other cultures and traditions. She knows how to get my kids to open up and share their concerns with her. For example, my daughter who was going through some tough times with school so Argi would always make it a point to do special little things for her and constantly reminding her how strong and resilient she is, giving her confidence to overcome anything that got in her way. My son who does not like to try new food now discovers that he likes Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. She’s the biggest cheerleader and supporter to all three kids with their sports and always shows up to support them.At times when I find myself at odds with my children lol, Argi becomes the peacemaker middleman trying to help us understand each other’s perspectives. She brings a lifetime of experience rich with diversity, intellect, and human decency. Anyone who is lucky enough to have her in their homes will absolutely value her.

Megan is great with our 1 year old son! Our son went right to her and they played the whole time she was watching him, you can tell he had fun! She is very responsive and showed great care for our son. We’re looking forward to having Megan watch him again.

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.
