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!

Maritza V., Child Care in Downey, CA 90241 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.

Sabre S., Child Care in Downey, CA 90241 with 11 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm Sabre. I'm 29 years old, based in Inglewood, and I genuinely love working with children. For the past 11+ years, I've had the privilege of caring for kids in a variety of settings. From babysitting and daycare to my current career in ABA therapy, where I work with children on the autism spectrum. Working with children isn't just something I do, it's what I've built my career around. I'm patient, dependable, playful when it's time to be, and calm when things get a little chaotic. Whether your child needs someone to keep up with their endless energy, help stick to a routine, or simply provide a safe, caring environment while you're away, I'm someone you can trust to treat them with kindness and genuine care. I know how important it is to leave your child with someone who feels like more than just a babysitter or nanny. My goal is always to give parents peace of mind while making sure the kids have a fun, engaging, and positive experience. I'm fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and happy to answer any questions you have. I'd love the chance to meet you and your family and see if we're a great fit. I hope to chat with you soon!

Sandy M., Child Care in Downey, CA 90241 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Sandy, and I have a heartfelt passion for working with children that began when I volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House Charities. That experience inspired me to continue serving kids and families, which led to my current role as a Kids Ministry teacher at my church. I’m also a babysitter for a wonderful family, and while I continue to enjoy that position, I’m currently looking for a full time opportunity to expand my work with children. I’m CPR certified and committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for kids. In addition to childcare, I have a strong creative side, I'm an event planner and event stylist, which means I love bringing joy to families through thoughtful details and memorable experiences. I’m also a foodie who enjoys cooking (especially with little helpers!) and an outdoor enthusiast who loves hiking and staying active. With a blend of creativity, care, and hands-on experience, I bring a well-rounded and joyful approach to every family I work with.
