Hello I'm Camilla, I am someone who deeply cares for infants and prioritize safety and well being, especially for first time parents. I help parents prepare safe, baby ready homes and recommend essential products and developmental toys. I am very conscious about maintaining proper hygiene before caring for infants and always wash my hands thoroughly. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in their baby’s safety. so I take every precaution to ensure a clean and nurturing environment. With a background in nursing and music, my nurturing embraces children as early as infancy through singing and imaginative play. It is incredibly rewarding to see delicate expressions of comfort when babies recognize my songs, then hear toddlers singing my songs to becoming fully engaged when I read to them. In my spare time, I channel my creativity into writing stories, composing songs that support developmental milestones, and creating educational videos for children. Music is just one of my supportive tools to soothe and stimulate infants as well as help toddlers and young children navigate challenges like understanding boundaries, learning new skills, and facing moments of frustration. I focus on building safety awareness, self esteem, and independence whether through songs that make clean up time fun or original music that encourages them not to give up when something feels hard. By including children’s individual interests, it allows me to build a stronger connection and relationship and spark curiosity. I am confident in providing homework support and engaging children in creative arts activities. I bring a strong work ethic and can be counted on to be both reliable and dedicated. I studied Music at UCLA and bring both creativity and energy to my work with children of all ages through music. I have a true passion for teaching. After earning my Associate’s degree, I began working toward my Bachelor’s degree, building on a background that includes Music Therapy and Occupational Therapy. CPR certified and first aid certified. I stay up to date on flu shots and vaccinations. As someone who enjoys healthy eating, I’ve learned that even with fussy eaters, healthy habits can still be encouraged by turning new foods into something fun to try. I am available for both full time and part time caregiving roles, including as a mother’s helper and date nights. I am comfortable with pets and have energy to keep up with growing little ones!

I can’t think of a time in my life where I haven’t been surrounded by children. Born the third of seven in Chicago, my love for “little humans” was inevitable. Throughout my entire life, I have been a childcare provider but more consistently in the last 15 years. My jobs have ranged from being a full time nanny to a one year old to a babysitter of 3.

A bit about me: I have been a professional nanny for 6+ years. I have cared for children since I was a teenager, and I'd say it's my passion. I am currently caring for two children in Manhattan Beach. A toddler and a 5 month old. My time with the family is coming to an end as both children will be placed in daycare. I have plenty of experience with all ages, most in ages 0-5. I am vaccinated, cpr/ first aid certified, and trustline registered. Clean driving record. I am located in Torrance. My goal is to pick up where you leave off. I can do child related cleanup, laundry, dishes, meal prep, etc. I'm comfortable with drop offs and pick ups, daily outings to the park/aquarium/library/etc. I will make sure that your child is occupied with age appropriate and developmentally appropriate activities.
