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 am an individual with over eight years of experience in child care and also with older adults with intellectual disabilities. I am currently completing three years of work specifically with adults with intellectual disabilities, where I am dedicated to teaching how to become more independent. For example, I am committed to helping individuals learn how to obtain and maintain a job, complete volunteer hours, improve their educational skills, and maintain good personal presentation. I am also responsible for transporting individuals in my personal vehicle. One of my favorite parts of the job is actively participating in daily activities, like playing with infants, teaching them to speak their first words, or guiding them during mealtime routines. I am certified in CPR and First Aid. I am friendly, reliable, and passionate about building strong connections with both children and adults. I am currently available in the afternoons and on weekends. Communication is very important to me, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to request references or to schedule a call. I am excited to continue sharing my passion and positive attitude with families, something that has brought me years of rewarding experiences.

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.

I've been nannying and working with children of all ages since I was 16, serving as an after school program leader for elementary aged children, as well as a youth group program leader for junior high students for 3 years. I'm CPR certified, have some experience working with children with special needs, and am very comfortable working with newborns. I love to be active, do yoga, hoop dance, play music, and make art, and love to share those passions of mine with the children I work with.
