I Ain't Afraid of No .... Diaper! .....or Toddler! .....or Teenager! Bonjour Parents. My name is Karen. I am originally from Toronto, Canada and have been living in LA for 8 years now. I have been a professional, stay home mom with 3 grown, wonderful, successful teenagers. My children are bilingual in French and my eldest daughter graduated in June 2024 as Valedictorian.

I have been with Sitter City for almost 2 years and have been very fortunate to provide my services to many incredible families whose children I just adore!

Hi there! My name is Liscia and I’m an experienced, reliable, and caring nanny based in the valley, currently available for new opportunities. I’m CPR certified, have a clean driving record, and bring over 10 years of babysitting experience, including 5 years as a nanny/household assistant! As the oldest sibling to three younger brothers (ages 5, 8, and 13), I’ve been helping raise kids practically my whole life—and I absolutely love it! I enjoy nannying because I get to build meaningful connections with kids and create a fun, safe, and supportive environment where they can grow and thrive. In my free time, I love to spend time outdoors, be active, and bake desserts! I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. Looking forward to connecting with you!

I have 10 years of experience working with children, ranging from infants as young as one week to young adults up to 20. For 7 years, I worked in a daycare setting, where I gained valuable hands-on experience in managing multiple children and fostering their problem-solving skills. Currently, I have been working in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for the past 3 years providing direct support to children on the autism spectrum and those with behavioral disorders. In addition to my professional background, I have personal experience as the oldest of five siblings, which has further enriched my understanding of child development and care. Children are my passion, and I believe that investing in their growth is vital for our future. My goal is to support children and their families in any way I can. Please note that my hourly rate will not change based on how many children you have. Hourly rate can also be negotiated for long term opportunities.
