We had the pleasure of working with Nedy from when our daughter was 4 months old until she turned 1 year old. Nedy is warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. She engaged our daughter with songs, books, and toys. She spoke to her in Spanish as well! She never relied on screens, and we could tell she truly enjoyed her role and spending time with our daughter. Communication was very clear, and she consistently arrived on time. We would not hesitate to recommend her!

She came early to make sure she was on time, which we really appreciated. When our daughter saw Marisol, she immediately asked her to play, and Marisol jumped right in and made her feel comfortable. She also proactively sent us updates throughout the evening, which gave us peace of mind. Our daughter is a very picky eater and can sometimes have difficulty going to bed, but Marisol was able to successfully feed her and get her to bed at a reasonable time. We were very happy with the experience and would definitely recommend her.

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!

Liscia was great to work with! She was very easy to communicate with and arrived right on time. She connected with my almost-2 year old instantly. She took great care of him and we came home to a happy boy. I would highly recommend Liscia!
Marlene G.
- 20 years paid experience
- 15 miles
Hello! My name is Marlene and I have over 20 years of childcare experience and I would love to watch and play with your child or children for your next date night, important meeting, event, or for any reason at all! I, myself, am a mother of four adult children who I raised -- all of whom are successful young adults pursuing their careers and academics. It is always my honor and privilege to care for children by helping and supporting their parents when childcare is needed. I am used to watching single or multiple children at a time ranging from newborns to the teenage years and children of all needs. I am responsible, fun, caring, and most importantly I always have the safety and well-being of your child or children at the forefront of my childcare responsibility. Having raised four children of my own, two of them being less than 18 months apart, I know firsthand the responsibility, care, and work required to ensure a safe, age appropriate, engaging environment for children. I am your person! So many of the families I have cared for over the years have always told me they see me as an extension of their own family, like an aunt, grandma, an older sister, and to this day I still am in contact with many of those families, with some of them grown up themselves. I would be happy to provide those references for you. I can do it all, from crafts, coloring, and activities, homework help, reading to them, preparing meals for the children, clean up together, engaging with the children with games, putting them to sleep, and following any specific routine you have in mind for your children. Think of me as an extension of you! I would be honored to watch your child. I know finding and trusting someone to watch your child is not easy, but I promise you that with me, you will feel at ease and I will make sure you feel comfortable and great about your decision in hiring me for your next outing!

Marlene is by far the finest Nanny we have ever had. Being a mother of 3 adult children herself she was a "super nanny" to our 3 children, ubering them around busy schedules, preparing food and developing wonderful relationships with each child. She would be an asset to any family and is also a wonderful sitter, always entertaining, engaging the kids and above giving us all peace if mind.

Evelyn is an absolute gem! She has cared for our 4 and 6-year-old for over a year and treats them like her own. Our boys adore her, and it's easy to see why — she's warm, reliable, and consistently goes above and beyond. As parents, trust means everything, and Evelyn has earned ours completely. We highly recommend her!
Ariana L.
- 6 years paid experience
- 14 miles
Hello! My name is Ariana, I’m 32 years old, and I’m an experienced nanny and babysitter currently based in Los Angeles for the past 3 years (previously was in NYC). I have over six years of childcare experience working with children ages 5–15, alongside seven years of professional experience in the tech industry. While I've only professionally worked with children from the ages of 5-15, I would still love the opportunity to support a family with a child under the age of 5! In addition to my childcare experience, I hold a Bachelor of Music degree with a minor in English Literature from Loyola University New Orleans, and I work as a professional vocalist and songwriter. My passion for childcare was inspired by my mother, who has dedicated over 30 years to the field in early childcare and childhood education. My most recent nanny positions were in New York City (2016–2018), where I cared for two families: one with three children (ages 5, 8, and 10) and another with two children (ages 7 and 11). I do own a car and can drive my car or a family car. I'm a very confident, reliable and safe driver and in NYC, I would haul around 3-5 kids every day after school to various after school programs or to family around the city! I’m energetic, fun, warm, patient, light-hearted and responsible, and highly reliable. I enjoy engaging kids in creative and enriching activities such as games, arts and crafts, music, imaginative play, baking, and cooking. I’m equally comfortable helping with homework, managing schedules, driving to activities, and keeping the household running smoothly with cleaning, meal prep, and organization. I truly love working with children and teenagers and take pride in creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to learn and grow. Thank you so much for considering my application!

Hi, I'm Hailey! I’m a Los Angeles native and a creative, hands-on nanny who truly loves working with children of all ages. Outside of childcare, I enjoy going to the beach, riding my bike, writing, reading, knitting and volunteering. I’m energetic, reliable, and deeply committed to helping children grow through play, creativity, and meaningful engagement with the world around them. I believe children thrive in environments that balance structure with creativity and independence. I prioritize hands-on engagement, outdoor play, and curiosity-driven learning while maintaining clear boundaries and routines.
