Hye P., Babysitter in Whittier, CA 90604 with 15 years of paid experience

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.

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.

Maritza V., Babysitter in Whittier, CA 90604 with 1 year of paid experience

I’m a college student studying health sciences with a genuine love for working with kids and creating a safe, positive environment for them. I have several years of babysitting experience caring for my 8 nieces and nephews, with ages ranging from toddlers to preteens, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs—whether that’s playtime, helping with homework, or keeping things on schedule. I’m CPR and First Aid trained, reliable, patient, and attentive, and I always aim to make both kids and parents feel comfortable, supported, and confident in my care. Some of my hobbies include cooking, baking, playing games, and spending time with animals, so I’m happy to help in homes with pets. I have open availability that can meet your desired needs.

Hi families, I'm a psychologist and childcare professional with 8+ years of hands-on experience with children from infants to preschoolers, including children with special needs such as autism spectrum disorder and ADHD.

I’ve worked in full-time, part-time, occasional, one-time, overnight, weekday, and weekend roles. Thanks to my background and experience, I’m comfortable caring for one or multiple children at a time while always maintaining a responsible, respectful, and attentive approach. CPR/First Aid certified through the American Red Cross (Adult & Pediatric), with a clean background check and driving record. Fully vaccinated (COVID-19, flu & influenza), bilingual in English and Spanish (native), non-smoker/non-drinker, and pet-friendly with experience around 3 cats and 1 dog.

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!

Cecilia was absolutely terrific with our child. She was exactly what you'd expect from a retired teacher / grandma / professional nanny. She's like the Mary Poppins of California!

Shannon L., Babysitter in Whittier, CA 90604 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello everyone :) . I have ECE units as well as an updated CPR and First aid training card. I have been working with kids for 20 years! My Passion for children took place while I was a teenager in high school. I worked as an intern at a day care in Long Beach and fell in love with teaching and working with kids. Many people call me the baby whisperer lol because everywhere I go, babies cling to me and love me immediately. Right now I work as a case manager at a women’s shelter part time. I love helping others ! My sweet spirit allows not only the kid to love me but the parents also. Some kids take more time but I have the patience to build the trust needed for me and that child to build a great relationship. I’ve worked in a day care setting and baby sat for many parents from the school. I am going to go back to school to get my masters degree in counseling so that I can become a children’s counselor for public schools. I am not a partier, drinker type nor do I use profanity. I dont discriminate & I pray that the same energy to presented to me. I will respect your life and your rules. I LOVE music and I love to dance. Might I also add that i am quite silly lol. Which works great when you’re dealing with toddlers or young ones . There’s so much more I can say but I’ll stop right here . Thank you for taking the time to read this ❤️ I’m open to share my resume !

She is one of the kindest , most compassionate, loving and empathetic person I’ve ever met! She is so trustworthy and people call her the baby whisperer. Her personality is reserved in nature and she is very respectful. I’d recommend anyone to encounter her no matter what race , ethnicity or background. You won’t regret it

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.
