Sittercity helps Gardena families find the best nannies

Hi! My name is Kira and I'm a 19-year-old Jazz Studies major at UCLA. I have extensive experience in childcare working at a Montessori daycare for two years. I have primarily cared for infants and toddlers but am happy to provide care for school-aged children as well. I am comfortable caring for one or two children at a time, providing a safe and nurturing environment. My passion and knowledge of the Montessori method has equipped me with valuable insights and understanding about child development. I am patient, friendly, and responsible, and I enjoy playing board games, doing arts and crafts, and engaging in educational activities with children. I am comfortable communicating with you using your preferred method and I am willing to help with cooking and light housekeeping. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I look forward to providing care for your family!

Hi, my name is Mia Staten. I have worked with children from infant to teenage years as a nanny, teacher, coach and more. I have plenty of experience with infants/toddlers and working with parents as their child reaches their new stages of development, having my BA in Child and Adolescents development helps me navigate. I was very interested in this position and know that I am fully qualified.I am a warm, kind, loving, organized, flexible, proactive,high energy, a multitasker and problem solver, discreet, honest, possess strong communication skills, with a positive attitude and personality. I have an intuitive understanding of children, are aware of developmental milestones and are active, fun and great communicators. I have a knack for engaging with curious, intelligent children. Learning about your children and family is major for me and building a community around the child. I enjoy building games, and learning experiences based on the interest of the children and look forward to learning your children's likes and personality. My goal is to meet your children where they are and help them grow in all areas to reach their developmental goals as well as have fun. I have multiple references of families that I have worked with including the most recent family I worked with the last few years.

Hi, I’m Joy, a dependable caregiver with 15+ years of experience supporting children of all ages through roles at the YMCA, Disney Cruise Line, UCI, and in EdTech. I’ve led before- and after-school programs, camps, and family services, consistently bringing structure, creativity, and care to each setting. I recently completed a 4-year role as a part-time nanny for a family and am now available for weekday and select weekend care in the Long Beach area. I love engaging children through hands-on, screen-free activities like arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, music, and reading. I focus on creating calm, safe environments where kids feel supported and excited to learn. Whether caring for an infant, guiding a toddler through daily routines, or supporting a school-aged child with homework and social-emotional development, I tailor my approach to each child’s needs. I’m happy to assist with school drop-offs, pick-ups, light meals, homework, and pet care. I prioritize open communication and build strong, trusting relationships with every family. If you're looking for a calm, reliable caregiver who’s truly invested in your child’s well-being, I’d love to connect!

Hi! I'm a certified early education teacher and I love children! I've been with sittercity for 15 years, and I would love to partner with you and your family. I'm fun and engaging, and have preschool experience with great references! I play guitar and sing, and have an excellent reading program! I have my fingerprints, first aid, CPR, background check, and more! I look forward to meeting with you soon! Miss Lisa

Hey Kids! I have a knack for transforming into your favorite animals, arranging and putting on performances together for your parents, sketching characters we imagine together, or drawing mazes for you to solve. It helps that I've studied fine arts and acting most of my life! I love exploring outside, climbing trees and jungle gyms. I love racing, chasing, and playing tag until our bellies hurt from laughing and we're so worn out that we fall asleep without even trying. My mom signed me up for years of ballet growing up, and I even performed with the Washington Ballet in Nutcracker and other shows, but I discovered I'm more passionate about martial arts and eventually I became an expert in stage combat. Some kids I've worked with had special needs like language delay, Williams Syndrome, Down's, autism, or physical limitations. We had fun designing games together just for them! I think it's really important to treat you with respect and care as an individual. I'm an expert at having lots of fun while keeping you healthy and safe.

Hello, my name is Elizabeth. I am currently pursuing a degree in Communications and will be transferring to study International Business. I recently left my full-time employment to return to school. I have experience working with children aged 3 to 27 years. Previously, I supported adolescents and adults with special needs, including physical, developmental, behavioral/emotional, and sensory-impaired challenges at a private school in Northern California and independently. Most recently, I was employed at a non-profit organization, where I worked with youth who are survivors of human trafficking. I am in the process of transitioning my career and have recently relocated to Southern California. My recent role at the non-profit was both mentally and physically exhausting. While I truly enjoy being creative, expressive, and helpful, I am looking for a part-time job that allows me to continue making a positive impact while teaching valuable life lessons in a natural and everyday context. Hit me up for an interview, and see if I am a good fit for you and your family. Look forward to meeting you and answering any questions you have.

I believe my experience has allowed me to be flexible, comfortable and adaptable to any situation. I have also been fully vaccinated for COVID 19. Looking forward to speak with you soon! Would love to meet and chat!
