My son loves her (he is soon to be 2) my older son likes her and talking to her (he is 8) we love working with Breana! Now or in the future if I need someone to watch my boys I will chose her.

I am currently a part-time care giver. I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old, about 14 years now. I have worked with kids of all ages, from newborn to teenagers, including special needs. I have a few cousins that have special needs including Autism, Asperger's, and medical needs that include being hearing impaired, allergies, diabetes, and cancer. I can prepare meals, provide transportation, do house cleaning and laundry, provide tutoring, and assist in anything a parent will need. I am very patient, have good time management, and try to closely follow the same parental structure as the parents do. I am fun, active, but can also provide structure and discipline when necessary. I have my own transportation, drivers license, and full-coverage insurance. I am CPR and First-Aid Certified and I also have my Life Guard Certification. I love to work out, do fun activities like art, visiting local parks, museums, and festivals. I enjoy being able to do things with the family I work for, including traveling local or non-local. My perfect job setting would be being able to be part of the family I work for!

It's been almost 3 months since Samara started babysitting my kid, and so far it's been awesome. At first I was very worried about finding the right sitter because many people warned me that it won't be easy and I may have to try out multiple people, but I lucked out big time. Samara is great at taking directions/feedback, very observant, and respects my parenting style/priorities, and most of all, my kid loves her, even my dog. I appreciate how she always keeps me posted with big and small milestones my kid achieves while I'm not there. When she's around, I know that my kid will be safe and have a wonderful time so I'm very happy that I found her and have no doubts that others will have a similar experience working with her.

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!

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!

Hi! My name is Isabel and I have been doing caretaking as a part time job for over 5 years now. I have experience from all age ranges and multiple kiddos at a time. I genuinely love to do this every so often as a way to connect with myself. It helps me be creative and kind, I appreciate that feeling the most. I understand the needs of a family very early on and am able to connect with children almost immediately. I am trustworthy, kind spirited, and approach things from a nurturing perspective. I have CPR training and worked as a RBT, I sometimes like to implement that training when it comes to behaviors. Overall, I believe in patience and love to take care of kids!

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.

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.
