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!

Hey there! I’m Jenn:) I currently am a full time nanny in the Brentwood Area and have been taking care of toddlers for about 10 years now.

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. I 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!

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 have also studied child development in college (specialized in a course involving infant/toddler care and development), worked as an assistant teacher in kindergarten classes, volunteered in preschool classes and after school camps (K-5), and have been a babysitter for as long as I can remember. I worked in Santa Cruz for a non-profit on writing projects in the k-12 public schools. I am also happy to help with homework or work specifically as a tutor by the hour. Minor house care (like cooking, cleaning up after self/kids) is included. Extra house work may be completed upon request and agreement (laundry, deep cleaning kitchen or house). Tutoring and house cleaning services tend to have different service rates. Open to pet care, please inquire if interested. Thank you.
