Florencia was my part-time nanny/sitter for almost a year. She stayed with my 2 kids during overnight while I worked the night shift. She is caring, trustworthy, punctual, reliable, and great with kids. She would also walk and care for my dogs on occasion (without me asking). I trusted her to drop my kids/pick them up from school, and she also took them to do fun activities. My kids love her and I never worried about them when she was with them. My eldest has ADHD and can be challenging, and Florencia did well with her setting boundaries and being kind but firm. 100% recommend!

Bresnia was a wonderful caregiver to our daughter between the ages of 2 and 3. She is very kind, loving and playful and cared for our daughter with true tenderness. Bresnia was so imaginative, energetic and playful and we could see that our daughter was always laughing and having so much fun with her. She was very conscientious and always made sure to check with us to ensure she was following our schedule and our preferences. We highly recommend her as a caregiver.

Karen was great with our two kids (ages 7 & 9.) She was incredibly competent, took notes when we gave her instructions, and even tidied our house a bit without us asking her to do so! I highly recommend using her as your sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.

Hello parents my name is Patty and I am a experienced Nanny. I have been taking care of very young children for more than 8 years. from newborns, babies, toddlers and preschoolers. I love what I do. Don’t worry, I have enough energy to play on the floor or at the park!!Adding to caring, playing, changing diapers, feeding, making a routine, putting babies to nap, sterilizing bottles, practicing tummy time helping with laundry, etc I invest my time teaching them reading, singing and playing looking for their milestone, I also have time for doing activities according to the age of the baby Additionally I am a preschool teacher (13)and I went to college,so I am a college associate. Because of my age and experience and studying Early Childhood Education, I am offering a high quality care for your baby, with activities, looking for the milestones; I love teaching Spanish with the babies I take care. Don’t worry for my age I am mature enough to understand your concerns My way of caring, nurturing and engaging with every child is the same of a Daycare very famous in our community, with a lot of respect and kindness to the children, because each of one is special and different and they learn at their own pace. I help with handling breast milk and formula. I like to go to the park, having very soft music, playing/teaching,, playing with colors, shapes and numbers, and doing different crafts and I give a lot of attention and assurance of a stimulant and nurturing environment, where your child can feel comfortable, confident and loved. Thank you for your attention and time! I see forward to meeting you! (Really like pets). I am a CPR First Aid certified, and I have a clear background check!! Excellent references. Thank you.

Patricia has been an important part of our family for almost 2 years, caring for our son since he was 6 months old. Patricia has consistently demonstrated dedication, skill and compassion in her role, making her an invaluable asset to our household. She has always made our son’s safety her highest priority and her creativity and enthusiasm for crafts has brought lots of joy to our son’s life. Patricia established a reliable and consistent routine, including daily trips to the park and tending to a vegetable garden. We are so thankful for everything Patricia has done for our son and our family. It is quite difficult to say goodbye, but she has done an exceptional job preparing our son for his next adventure at school.

Lori was an absolutely amazing help to our family when we visited California for a family wedding. She took on three consecutive LONG days with two toddlers like a champ. Not only did she bring a great attitude and loving energy but she also thought ahead and brought a wagon and toys and was completely in tune with the boys’ needs. Highly recommend her for your next sitter job!!

Hi my name is Ashley! I have 16+ years experience with children of all Ages. I have my CPR/AED& FIRST AIDE CERTIFICATE. I started out as a babysitter at 14 and got a job at TLC, an after school daycare program and was working there at the age of 16. We would take the children during the summer to amusement parks like wild rivers, Knottsberry farm, Sea world, Disneyland, movie theaters and etc... so it was a lot of patience and responsibility to make sure they were safe and having fun at the same time. I absolutely loved it . After working at TLC I was offered a nanny job by one of the parents. I watched the children for a while and then they grew up like all children do hehehe I then went on to nanny after that for a three and six-year-old and just kept being a nanny. I eventually started working at Us Too Gymnasitcs for a couple of years. It is a non-profit Organization working with children that have special needs and children without any special needs.. the ages range from1& a half all the ways to 23 years old. We worked on behavior, taking turns, helping children that are non-verbal speak and we do a lot there and the parents instead of calling it an actual gym they call it a gem... so sweet. I also work as Respite care taker for special needs but the hours are on my terms. I am looking mostly for a Full-time position as a nanny or also it could be maybe 2 part-time jobs. I adore working with children. I have great references and can start immediately ....also I LOVE animals if you have any!! I am nurturing, kind, respectful, VERY patient, fun, reliable, clean, honest, creative and just a very down to earth happy person that enjoys to live life. I love the outdoors, taking children to their favorite parks, listening to music, doing arts and crafts, sports, and help with reading/homework, encouraging them and whatever the children are interested in..I'm up for it!!..Pretty much having fun happens while I'm with the kids!!! I always want to put smiles on their faces the whole time I'm with them and hopefully after I leave too hehe.. I am very flexible and like I said, I could start today or tomorrow. I am open to anything. Thank you for your time and I look forward to meeting you!! ~Ashley

Dawn has been with our family full time for over 2 years. Our kids were 7 months and 2 when she started. I can't say enough great things about our time with her. She's like a true Mary Poppins. Teaching the kids, taking them on adventures, helping at home with cleaning and meal prep for the family, doing laundry and helping out in other ways. Our kids love her, always happy to see her for hugs. She brings them surprises and kept them entertained and engaged. As our kids transition into school, they are advanced in so many ways due to the care and teaching at home with Dawn. We sadly had to let her go due to our situation changing with kids in school and mom's work schedule changing. Dawn is truly a gem among nannies, and I highly recommend her. We had 4 nannies prior to her, and felt so lucky to have found her and worked with someone so experienced, nurturing, and helpful when our lives were at peak stress.
