My experience includes working for Channel Island Social services where I provided childcare for children in foster homes as well as individuals with disabilities. Along with this, I worked with a private family for 6 years on a part time basis until the children were old enough they no longer needed supervision. I have provided care for individuals from ages newborn to 23 years old. Working with children is my passion. I enjoy assisting children with their curiosity while creating a fun, safe, and loving environment for them to thrive. Finding or creating age appropriate games and activities to help children thrive is something I have become to enjoy.

Rebecca C.
She is amazing with my kids! Baby loves her and she's attentive and caring. She can soothe her on the toughest days. Which gives parents lots of confidence. She's got fun play energy for my 3 yr old who wants to pretend and play but she's good at keeping him following house rules while having a good time. He asks when Kaylene is coming to play. She's an incredibly safe driver which is great for pick ups and drop offs. She's someone you can trust.

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 love children, I believe they can get us the best we have. Spending time with them helps us to be and return to be children. Have the ability to love someone who is not ours and take care of it as it were. Amo criança, acredito que elas conseguem nos tirar o que temos de melhor. Passar tempo com elas nos ajudam a ser e a voltar ser crianças. Ter a habilidade de amar alguém que não é nosso e cuidar como se fosse. (Sou brasileira)

Hello! My name is Mayra, I have been babysitting since I was 16 years old. With five younger siblings it comes naturally for me to be a caregiver. I am very patient, caring and trustworthy. I adapt to every family and I make sure to always communicate. I have experience with every age range and can help with laundry, cleaning, light cooking, running errands, tutoring and drop-offs/pick-ups. I also have experience tutoring in English, Math, Spanish, and Social Sciences so I can provide homework help. My experience with kids with learning disabilities and autism has prepared me to adapt to any situation. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, I have had many experience with babies and children. Growing up in my family my sister and I were always the designated babysitters, we grew up around so many younger cousins ages 6 months 12 years of age. I love kids, I worked last year at a local community center called West Park in Ventura where I did summer camp and after school program. I would have a group of 10 kids at least by myself, that would range from 5-12 years old. We would do outdoor activities, sports, board games, or I would help with homework. I am a recent college graduate from Cal State Long Beach, bachelors in sociology. I plan to further my education in hopes to be a school counselor. In my free times, I love being outdoors, going to the beach, hiking, reading, working out, and spending times with my family. I would love to help you look after your child and treat them as my own family in your busy work schedule or when you and your significant other need a date night.

Cheyenne has been so amazing to work with and we highly recommend her. She communicates clearly, is always reliable, and takes excellent care of both our baby and our 5-year-old. She is patient, warm, and engaging with the kids, and we always feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Our children are happy and well cared for every time she watches them.

Hi there! My name is Nina , I was born and raised in Malibu California but I've been in NY for the past 4 years finishing up my degree in theater at NYU! I have been taking care of kids of all ages for as long as I can remember. My first job was a summer camp counselor at Wonder Years Preschool. I love to form a special connection with children, play games with them, and develop their interests. My most recent experience with kids was teaching a few french children english 2 times a week. I am interested in working with your specific needs for your children and can adapt my childcare in any scenario. I will note that, I have had my drivers license for 5+ years, I can speak french, cook, clean, and I feel particularly adapted to playing games and entertaining children from my background in theater. I would be more than happy to take care of your children. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. All the best, Nina
