Roxana is an amazing sitter! We had her watch our little guy and I could tell she had lots of experience with kids. I was pleased with her knowledge of how to handle infants and she was able to get him down for a nap with ease. Definitely recommend!

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!

Mariah S., Child Care in Downey, CA 90241 with 18 years of paid experience

I discovered my love for childcare while living in New York City from 2008 and what began as babysitting quickly grew into a full-time career. Now with more than 15 years of experience, I still feel incredibly grateful to do work I truly love. I am based in Los Angeles and I'm only seeking occasional babysitting and supplemental shifts during my weeks off. I am experienced in infants, toddler, school age and adolescents! I come from a large family in Colorado with three nieces and a nephew, and caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I believe every child is unique, so I focus on getting to know their personality and interests in order to support them in a way that fits them best. I’m CPR certified, experienced with twins and multiples, a licensed driver with a clean record, and a confident cook. I love keeping kids engaged through outdoor play, creative activities, sports, and helping in the kitchen. Families describe me as dependable, calm, and highly engaged with children.

Mariah is absolutely amazing! From the moment our 14-month met her, he immediately gravitated toward her. She is super knowledgeable about all things babies/kiddos and a true professional about her work—both of which put us, as first-time parents, instantly at ease. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

If you DON’T hire Tahva you are and your kiddo(s) are completely missing out. My husband and I had to come into LA to work for two weeks and needed someone to watch our 3 year old and 6 mo old boys. I was a little anxious about finding someone to watch both boys, especially since the little one needed to be front packed most of the time. But let me tell you. Tahva was AWESOME. Not only was she exactly on time, which was huge since we were both getting to work, but she was so good with the boys my older one raced down to give her a hug the last day she was here. She was flexible, fun (did arts, crafts, mazes, building, outside activities, basically anything the older one could dream up), some how still got the little one to nap amidst the chaos, AND she fed and cleaned up afterwards. Serious bonus. 100% would use her again in a heart beat. Just sad we don’t live in LA full time!

Jessica has taken care of our younger child since she was 5 years old. I have worked with several nannies in the past 14 years between my two children. She is by far the best. I am amazed at her patience and how she gently teaches the child what is right as part of playing. She is always on time. You don’t have to remind her of anything once you gave her the schedule. She is very accommodating and genuinely loves working with children.Unfortunately, we moved much farther to continue working with her, but we still request her services from time to time because our child loves her so much and wants to spend time with her.

Cindy has been helping care for my son during times when he’s not in school, as well as for our date nights, and she has been absolutely wonderful! She’s great about keeping him active and engaged — taking him outside to play, going to the park, and coming up with fun, stimulating activities that he really enjoys. Cindy is always on time, communicates well, and is very reliable. She’s also flexible with her schedule, which has been such a huge help for us, especially when something comes up last minute. I completely trust Cindy with my son and truly appreciate how caring and dependable she is. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a responsible, energetic, and thoughtful nanny!

Jessica is fantastic. She’s always on time and has been available even with short notice, which we really appreciate. My daughter felt comfortable with her immediately, even though Jessica was the first person outside our family to care for her. She has such a calm, reassuring energy and a very poised personality. I would definitely work with her again.
