Effie A., Nanny in Santa Monica, CA 90403 with 10 years of paid experience

I have been a nanny/babysitter for newborns, infants, toddlers, preschool age and elementary school age children for more than a decade. I have multiple experience. I love taking car of children because they remind me of my experience raising my grandsons from birth to school age. My nanny/babysitter job started when my first grandson was born. I retired early from my role as a Payroll Analyst at UCLA Medical Center Financial Services to care for my grandsons (now 9 and 11) when they were born. For seven years, I was their primary caregiver (my daughter and son-in-law are both busy attorneys). I nurtured, played with, cared for, and educated my grandsons in every way, including taking them to enrichment activities and planning every aspect of their day. Both of my grandsons were reading by 3 years old. From potty-training , to baths, tennis practice, swimming classes, to zoo trips, to playdates and then eventually to school drop-offs, pickups and homework supervision, I did it all with great joy. It would be my pleasure to bring the same joy, kindness and care to your child(ren). I was also a full time nanny for a nine months old baby girl from April 2022 - June 2024. I have been occasionally babysitting for three families from 2021 to present. I plan the day to day activities for children in my care. Just to mention a few of the activities I do with babies in my care, I take them to the local library programs; read at least once during the day and at nap and bedtime; potty training; prepare meals and snacks; playdates; birthday parties; playground; a walk in the neighborhood. We have drawing, painting, coloring and writing activities. I plan birthday parties and attend mummy and me two hour classes with baby. (Please refer to my references for testimonies to my work on my profile). I have a Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED Certificate. I prioritize safety of children in my care and take the needs of the child and parents expectations seriously. I am honest, respectful, kind, gentle, caring, energetic, conscientious, loving, calm, attentive, multitasking, intelligent and punctual. I am a non-smoker and fully vaccinated. My next annual physicals is in October 2025. Thank you for reviewing my profile. I look forward to hearing from you . Effie Annor.

Ryan S., Nanny in Santa Monica, CA 90403 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Kathryn, and I’m 22 years old. I’m currently in college working toward degrees in both Psychology and Nursing, and I’m a certified Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). I’ve always been passionate about helping others, especially children and families, and I’m excited about the opportunity to bring that passion into your home. I consider myself organized, dependable, and creative. I love coming up with fun, educational activities to keep kids engaged and learning, and I’m always open to trying new things and adapting to each family’s unique needs. Whether it’s helping with schoolwork, creating routines, or just being a consistent and caring presence, I aim to make each day smooth and meaningful for both parents and children. I have experience working with kids of all ages, from infants to teens, and I also have a strong background in animal care, so I’m more than comfortable in homes with pets. My training as an RBT has helped me develop strong skills in behavior management, communication, and supporting children with different developmental needs. I’m fully background-checked and happy to provide documentation if requested. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my bio—I truly hope to be a supportive, reliable, and positive asset to your family!
