I have worked for over 15 years as a babysitter and tutor in residential homes. As a babysitter and mommy assistant I have gained countless hours of experience working with children ages 1 to 7. Working with such large numbers of young children has taught me a lot about care taking. During this time I have also held mommy helper positions for families with children of all ages. I regularly babysit for a family with 4 children all under the age of 8, as well as a family with a preteen-aged children. I have also babysat for numerous other families over the past 6 years. Additionally, I have a 6-year-old and 12 year old step brothers with fetal alcohol syndrome who I have helped to take care of and babysit throughout their therapy and life. Although having such young siblings it can be exhausting at times, I love spending time with children and watching them grow up! Working with children of all ages is my passion, and I would love to assist your family and be part of such an amazing experience! I am at the end of my studies and have a year left at CSUN.

Hello! I’m a dedicated and caring nanny and babysitter with over 3 years of experience working with kids of different ages. I have a college degree and love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children. I was caring for a 14 month old baby from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., but the family moved to Ohio at the end of June. I’m now looking for a new opportunity where I can keep doing what I love helping families by providing reliable and loving care.

Hi there, I’m a dedicated nanny with over 9 years of experience specializing in infant and toddler care. I’ve supported families in both Culver City and San Francisco, caring for children from infancy through early toddlerhood. I focus on creating a nurturing and structured environment that promotes healthy routines, developmental milestones, and daily learning. My responsibilities have included feeding and sleep training, meal prep, outings, and light household tasks related to the children. I’m passionate about helping little ones thrive and maintaining open, clear communication with parents to ensure the best care possible.

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!
