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 am writing to express my interest in a childcare or nanny position. I bring decades of hands-on experience supporting children’s growth, emotional well-being, and development in both private and group care settings. Caring for children is not only my professional background, but a lifelong calling rooted in patience, empathy, and reliability. My experience includes current work as a nanny, providing attentive and developmentally appropriate care within a private household. In addition, I have extensive background working with infants through early elementary-aged children in church childcare programs, Vacation Bible School leadership, Girl Scout troop leadership, and national service through AmeriCorps. These roles strengthened my ability to create safe, structured, and nurturing environments while engaging children through learning, play, and positive guidance. I am especially skilled in supporting children’s emotional and social development, maintaining consistent routines, and communicating openly with parents. My background in child development and psychology coursework further informs my approach, allowing me to meet children where they are developmentally and emotionally. In addition to my professional experience, I raised a successful, emotionally healthy, and accomplished daughter. This lifelong role has reinforced my understanding of children’s needs, family dynamics, and the importance of trust, stability, and encouragement in a child’s life. I am dependable, attentive, and deeply respectful of family values. I take pride in providing care that allows children to feel safe, supported, and confident as they grow. I would welcome the opportunity to bring my experience, warmth, and dedication to your family or organization. Warm regards, Angela (Angel) Baker

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. My outgoing personality and background in the arts helps me to connect w/the imaginative and creative sides that all children have. I have a passion for life and the future generation, which is why childcare is where you'll find me. I have extensive experience in caring for infants, babies, toddlers, as well as through school-age children. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker and fully vaccinated. Be it a few hours or something more permanent, I would love to be a part of your extended family.
