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.

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 am proactive and attuned to when a baby needs feeding, sleep, a diaper change, a change of clothes, or a change in their environment. 🧡 I am passionate about child development and offer age-appropriate engagement and activities to stimulate their minds and help them develop healthy, secure attachments to caregivers so they can develop confidence and self-esteem. I empathize with children's feelings while upholding boundaries and rules. 🧡 My go-to activities are playing games, singing songs, and being silly. I allow children to naturally warm up to me, but ultimately I know how to connect and relate to them and allow them to feel seen and heard. 🌻 I received my Bachelor's Degree in 2014 from San Diego State University with a B.A. in Pscyhology. I have my Early Childhood Education (ECE) credentials that certify me as a licensed care-giver and pre-school teacher by the state of California. 🌻 I have a car, am a non-smoker, comfortable with pets, and am also okay with taking care of sick children and helping potty train. 🌻 I charge $30/hour and have many references that I am willing to provide. I am vaccinated and willing to run a background check. 🌻 Please message me if you'd like to chat and see how I can offer care for your family!

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.

Hello! My name is Charlotte and I am a skilled childcare worker with 2 years of full time childcare experience through working 7 summers as a youth sailing instructor. There I taught children ages 5-7 and 8-18 sailing skills by creating an adventurous, educational, and safe learning environment. I have cared for children of all backgrounds, levels of emotional regulation as well as students on the spectrum and have enjoyed my time with them all and have learned much about how to best provide them with education and care. I’ve spent the last 2 summers there as the lead instructor which put me in full responsibility of all the students and staff including any medical paperwork and treatment needed, creating and teaching engaging lesson plans and games, monitoring student interactions and mental health and well as making sure all land and water activities were conducted safely. With this I have gained a great love of working with children and fostering a creative environment that allows children to express themselves freely while enjoying our time together. With this full time care experience I also have some experience of babysitting infants to teens during my middle and high school years and now. With the combination of both that and my teaching experience I think I will be a great fit as your next caregiver!

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
