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!

Hello! My name is Ivonne Marquez and I live in Anaheim. I am 25 years old and I have around 4 years of paid experience. I have had the most wonderful experiences with the families I’ve worked with and it has been so rewarding seeing their little ones grow up. I have experience mostly with 1-3 year olds but have also have experience with older kids. I also have been a designated homeschool teacher for a whole school year, so homework help and tutoring is not a problem. I am comfortable with small children the youngest I cared for has been 9 months and my goal is always for them to be entertained, be taken care of,and to be safe. I gladly stick to any rules parents set with their children and understand when a parent trusts me with their kids it’s a huge deal so I take care of them like if they were my own. I am CPR/ First AID / AED certified, fluent in Spanish, have my own transportation and am really easy to get along both with parents and their children. I respect any precautions that may be needed coming into your home . I can provide negative Covid-19 test results and vaccine record if needed. Also references can be provided upon request.

Hello. I'm Stacey and I have lived in Long Beach my entire life. I want to mention that no longer use this site which is why I don’t have a background check here. I am looking for weekend and night work as I have a regular 9-5 job now. I have my own background check but will add one here shortly . . I graduated from Cal State Long Beach, with a degree in Human Development. I have about 20 years of real experience with children ages newborn up to 16 years old and have done everything from cooking and cleaning to tutoring, physical education, and recently ran my own mini preschool with a group of 3 year olds. In addition, I have taken 12 ECE units which has helped my knowledge of child development. I've worked in camps, coached a high school soccer team and was a volunteer soccer coach for AYSO for many years. I have also worked with children with physical and developmental disabilities including Autism. As a firm believer in balancing work with play I enjoy everything life has to offer and I will try my best to be a positive influence in your children's lives. Being an advocate of positive reinforcement combined with my passion for kids and their developmental growth is the reason I love my job. I love to draw, write, play the piano, play soccer and other sports, read, cook, play boardgames, etc. I am bubbly, responsible, passionate, driven yet nurturing and kind, and I look forward to the opportunity to demonstrate my capabilities as a child care provider. While I have a vast imagination and I'm always coming up with innovative, fun and educational ways to engage your children I am also able to adapt to any type of parenting style and curriculum. Being an active individual who loves the outdoors, I can assure you that there will be little time (if any), spent in front of the television. I have recently started sleep training babies from infant age up to 2 years old. Please let me know if you are interested. I also have several very credible references as well as printed background checks and DMV reports from the last three years. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!
