Hey everyone, you can call me Cherry for short I love working with children of all ages. I watched all 9 of my sisters kids my whole life.

I'd describe my personality as honest, reliable, and very attentive. I stay calm in busy or stressful situations and make sure things are handled and running smoothly. I like working with kids because how they're treated when they're young really shapes who they become. I grew up in a structured environment with strong values, and that's something I bring into how I care for others. I've worked with kids from a young age, helping care for my younger brother and later babysitting for family friends and relatives, so I'm comfortable with different ages and situations. Being a team captain for a girls' tennis team also helped me build leadership skills and confidence managing groups. In my spare time, I enjoy makeup, crafts, staying active, volunteering and being outdoors. I'm naturally energetic and enjoy bringing a fun, positive energy that kids connect with. I'm very observant and adaptable, and I enjoy creating simple, interactive activities that keep kids engaged and involved.

Hello! My name is Bryana and I am 25 years old. I live in Porter Ranch and am currently working on getting my teaching credential at California State University Northridge. I have been a professional paid Nanny for seven years now, working with children ranging from infant to high school age. I started informally babysitting with family friends, and from that blossomed my professional career as a Nanny. I have always been a creative and artistic person and love to paint and read in my free time. I love anything to do with nature, like hiking and reading at the beach. I am definitely an animal lover, as I have three cats and a dog at home. I have a clean driving record and have held numerous positions that involved driving children from past families I have worked with. I have my CPR Certification, along with being fully up to date on all of my vaccinations including the flu and the COVID vaccines. I look forward to providing a helping hand for your family!

I previously held a full-time position working for a family from 2020 up until last year, where I gained extensive experience caring for multiple children simultaneously. This included children as young as 6 months old, up to 10 years old, allowing me to actively contribute to their developmental milestones. My responsibilities encompassed a range of activities, from dancing and going for walks to swimming and engaging in creative activities like coloring. In addition to child-focused tasks, I also handled meal preparation and performed light housekeeping duties. My passion for nannying stems from the joy I derive from watching children grow and become an integral part of their lives. I've been complimented on my nurturing energy, and I firmly believe that every child benefits from such care and attention.

Hello! My name is Genessee but I like to go by Genna ("Jenna"). I am a full time student, but mostly taking ONLINE CLASSES. I am studying to be a pediatric psychiatrist/therapist. I love kids and enjoy the love little human beings give. Although I'm 21 I have two little sisters I've helped raise (9 and 7 years old). I've taken care of an 8 year old with aspergers full time for about three years and a little 3 year old with autism. I’ve also helped a mother with her twin newborns, (great experience!) My overall duties have been a mother sidekick, took them to therapy sessions, cooked lunch, helped with homework, any after school activities, went to the park, mall, made lots of neighborhood friends and much more! I’ve taken about 4 ECE classes (Early Childhood Education). I am almost up to renew my CPR and First Aid certificates. I am fluent in English and Spanish. I am learning French and I took an ASL class. Overall, kids bring out the young side of me and I truly enjoy every second of it. I am open for an interview if you would like to get to know me better! (:

Hi my name is Heather. I am a stay at home mom of four kids, a wife of 26 years, and a dog mom to a labradoodle named Tinkerbell. My kids are 19, 17, 14 and 11. Prior to being a mom I loved working at a Child Care center called Sunshine for 6 years and then I worked at a local private school called Legacy Private Academy as a 2nd and 4th grade Assistant Teacher. At both Legacy and Sunshine I learned to get down on a child’s level, using positive reinforcement to mold and shape kids with love and positivity. I am careful to give clear expectations and to anticipate potential behavioral issues and catch them before they start. (An example of this would be giving a five minute warning if our play is coming to an end, to avoid a transition meltdown, when playing playdoh setting expectations before playing as far and how to use the playdoh appropriately etc. I love kids and enjoy playing with them and learning together. l appreciate going to the park and helping children with their homework, and reading books or playing games. My kids are getting older and I now have time to work again. You name it,I have done it all from rocking colicky babies, potty training , to teaching four kids their alphabet, sight words and how to read. I have focused on character development with my kids, molding them with self control, honesty, patience, kindness etc. I also model that same character, being someone who shows patience, compassion and being reliable in my life. I’m looking forward to soaking in some sweet kids from newborn and up. Please let me know your routine and guidelines, I will be happy to honor your wishes and follow them. I am mature and dependable, I will be careful to not be distracted by my phone as my attention will be on your little one. I am very safety conscious. I am CPR certified and Live scanned, happy to do a background check and references available. I look forward to hearing from you!
