Alexandra K., Nanny in La Palma, CA 90623 with 8 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Alex, and I am a fun-loving caregiver with 8 years of experience across all age groups. I have a very flexible schedule, and I can often work last minute if needed! I recently concluded nannying for 3 wonderful siblings aged 3, 6, and 8, and I have two younger brothers whom I babysat for years, alongside various other preschool, elementary, and middle school-aged children. I have a BA in psychology and was fortunate to learn a great deal about child development during my education; I am currently completing a master's in Counseling Psychology to become a marriage and family therapist. I love art, music, and sports, so I can help keep your youngster entertained! I am also an experienced cook and am happy to take on household tasks such as meal preparation, cleaning, laundry, transportation, and animal care. I can also help with bedtime routines and stay late or overnight if needed. Whether you are looking for occasional or long-term care, I look forward to hearing from you!

Alex worked for us part time for a year and helped our household function. You would be lucky to hire Alex for any childcare needs. She has a great approach with the kids and is very flexible to help out with whatever you need. My 3 kids loved spending time with Alex (as did we!) and we would not hesitate to hire her for any childcare moving forward. She is amazing with young kids (our son was 3) as well as older (6-9) and lovingly holds boundaries while being very fun. We wish she could be part of our family for longer!

Ivonne  M., Nanny in La Palma, CA 90623 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello! I'm Ivonne, a professional nanny with about nine years of paid experience caring for children from newborns through preschool age. I've worked with families of all sizes, including caring for five children under the age of five, and I'm confident managing multiple children while providing attentive, individualized care. My priority is creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I respect each family's routines, household rules, and parenting preferences, and I strive to provide reliable, consistent care. I have reliable transportation, communicate well with both parents and children, and am comfortable administering prescribed medications when needed. My experience also includes caring for children with eczema, sensory processing disorders, allergies, and supporting sleep training. I value professionalism, dependability, and building trusting relationships with the families I work with. References are available upon request. I look forward to learning more about your family's childcare needs and seeing if we'd be a great fit. Side note I don’t travel on vacation with families.

I want to give a huge thank you to Ivonne for taking care of my baby twice a week for the past six months. She is an amazing caregiver who went above and beyond to keep my baby happy, comfortable, and engaged. Whether it was taking her to the park, drawing pictures, or reading to her, Ivonne always found ways to make my baby smile. I appreciated her reliability and knowledge of toddlers, which gave me peace of mind while I was working. I highly recommend Ivonne to any parent looking for a loving and trustworthy babysitter.

Great with the kiddos. Was fun and speaks right away to the kiddos. Also clear and firm with boundaries, so they know she’s the one in charge. Great at keeping them on track for the evening and guiding the course of their time together!

Nanette is the best sitter we've ever had!! She is the only person outside of my family that I have felt 100% comfortable leaving my daughter with. She always knows what to do and you can tell that she's a great mom, which is very important in my opinion! Nanette also looks after our dog when we're out of town, and every time she comes to pick her up, our dog gets overly excited. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nanette to anyone!

I have 4 kids but now they are all teenagers. I love kids I wish I had more. ☺️ So since I’ve and have the patience for them I would love to work doing something I enjoy. I also love teaching I wanted to be a teacher one day. I consider myself easy going and fun. I treat kids as if they were my own because they are our future. Love and happiness is what we need in this world.

Karina is one of the most talented care givers we have met! She is kind and attentive, listens well to parents and little kids, and is honest and trustworthy. Our daughter has some special needs, and Karina is absolutely wonderful with her, praising her for what she does, encouraging her, and motivating her. She helps her do gross motor movement like a PT, engage in play like an OT, and reads and interacts like a teacher. She is also very good at cleaning and organizing, and she can make a delicious smoothie, but her joy is in building relationships with kids. Simply put, she’s the best! Give her a chance with your little one(s)—you will be glad you did!

Maritza V., Nanny in La Palma, CA 90623 with 1 year of paid experience

I’m a college student studying health sciences with a genuine love for working with kids and creating a safe, positive environment for them. I have several years of babysitting experience caring for my 8 nieces and nephews, with ages ranging from toddlers to preteens, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs—whether that’s playtime, helping with homework, or keeping things on schedule. I’m CPR and First Aid trained, reliable, patient, and attentive, and I always aim to make both kids and parents feel comfortable, supported, and confident in my care. Some of my hobbies include cooking, baking, playing games, and spending time with animals, so I’m happy to help in homes with pets. I have open availability that can meet your desired needs.

Maritza is part of our family now. We will be using her for as long as she decides to work alongside our family. She was very welcoming in our initial interview and even though we have only just started with her. My wife, Mother in law and sister in law who have meet her all say the same thing, she brings an an energy of positivity and trust.

Argeroula V., Nanny in La Palma, CA 90623 with 21 years of paid experience

I am a 47 year old mom to a 15 year old wonderful young man. I started taking care of children when I was 13 years old. I love children and want them to have a positive healthy atmosphere and good nutrition. I think structure is important like having a consistent routine for sleep and eating. I feel that music should be on most of the time. I was born in New York to immigrant parents from Greece. I speak Greek fluently and have studied other languages including French and Spanish. I love to cook, bake, go fishing and garden. I have experience with children with special needs and understand the challenges and joys that come from them.

Our family, especially my three children, absolutely adored “Argi.” She introduced all of us to new cultural aspects and ways of life. She taught my children with passion, care, patience, humor, and she’s an amazing cook as well. She put strong emphasis on healthy choices and nutrition in every meal and does it with endless amounts of love and care. She is respectful of other cultures and traditions. She knows how to get my kids to open up and share their concerns with her. For example, my daughter who was going through some tough times with school so Argi would always make it a point to do special little things for her and constantly reminding her how strong and resilient she is, giving her confidence to overcome anything that got in her way. My son who does not like to try new food now discovers that he likes Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. She’s the biggest cheerleader and supporter to all three kids with their sports and always shows up to support them.At times when I find myself at odds with my children lol, Argi becomes the peacemaker middleman trying to help us understand each other’s perspectives. She brings a lifetime of experience rich with diversity, intellect, and human decency. Anyone who is lucky enough to have her in their homes will absolutely value her.

Shannon L., Nanny in La Palma, CA 90623 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello everyone :) . I have ECE units as well as an updated CPR and First aid training card. I have been working with kids for 20 years! My Passion for children took place while I was a teenager in high school. I worked as an intern at a day care in Long Beach and fell in love with teaching and working with kids. Many people call me the baby whisperer lol because everywhere I go, babies cling to me and love me immediately. Right now I work as a case manager at a women’s shelter part time. I love helping others ! My sweet spirit allows not only the kid to love me but the parents also. Some kids take more time but I have the patience to build the trust needed for me and that child to build a great relationship. I’ve worked in a day care setting and baby sat for many parents from the school. I am going to go back to school to get my masters degree in counseling so that I can become a children’s counselor for public schools. I am not a partier, drinker type nor do I use profanity. I dont discriminate & I pray that the same energy to presented to me. I will respect your life and your rules. I LOVE music and I love to dance. Might I also add that i am quite silly lol. Which works great when you’re dealing with toddlers or young ones . There’s so much more I can say but I’ll stop right here . Thank you for taking the time to read this ❤️ I’m open to share my resume !

She is one of the kindest , most compassionate, loving and empathetic person I’ve ever met! She is so trustworthy and people call her the baby whisperer. Her personality is reserved in nature and she is very respectful. I’d recommend anyone to encounter her no matter what race , ethnicity or background. You won’t regret it

Ashley R., Nanny in La Palma, CA 90623 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello, Ashley here! I'm an all around fun and energetic person. I love spending time with children and do a great job of splitting time between play, structure and learning. I have the best time getting creative with the kids and playing imaginative games. I studied child development in college and have several years experience as a babysitter. Some of my favorite play mates include my 4 year old niece, 6 year old sister and 12 year old nephew. I love being outdoors, playing music (singing and dancing) and crafts so I'm always up for similar activities with the kids. I'm a certified yoga instructor and enjoy staying active. Working with me smiles are guaranteed!

Not enough good things can be said about Ashley. She has been with us for over three years, helping care and raise our three children (ages 6, 3.5, and 6 months). She has been patient, caring, understanding, and willing to get down to our kids level to find their needs and wants. This has been a major factor into why we were so happy she was part of our “team”. An average day for her would be from 7 AM – 4 PM (sometimes later) and would include: -Helping our eldest get ready for school and making breakfast for our two younger children. She has been willing to transport and pick up our eldest from school as well. -Change diapers and get dressed for the day. -Supervising/playing/entertaining the children. This includes taking them to the park and library, playing outside in the backyard/pool, making arts and crafts, reading books, and helping with nap time (usually with a walk in the afternoon). -Making lunch and snacks for them, including feeding the baby. -Prep them for afternoon activities such as dance class and day care. -Prior to leaving for the day, she communicates the positives and the negatives that happened in the day. We discuss what happened and how we think we can encourage or improve good behaviors. Ashley has great points of views and recommendations to help our kids thrive. - Ashley has even taken the kids on special trips for the day such as Disneyland and the Aquarium. Our 6 year old has special needs and is non-verbal. Ashley constantly observed and met him on his level, which has helped him in communication and dexterity skills. She can easily identify his cues for hunger, happiness, frustration, and so much more. Because of this, she has encouraged him to sign his wants and has even been able to get him to verbally say a word or two. On her off days on the weekend, Ashley has even come to his baseball games to cheer him and his team on. Our 3.5 year old is a firecracker who knows no bound of energy until she hits the “wall”. Ashley has given direction for that energy with indoor and outside play, which helps her transition to calm indoor play. When it came time for potty training, Ashley jumped on board with the game plan, and now our girl is a “big girl”. Our 6 month old is our curious one who is starting to become mobile. Ashley came to visit us at the hospital with our newborn and it felt like there was an instant connection. There are few adults our baby will go to, but Ashley is one of them (which speaks high volumes in itself). She feeds, comforts, and plays with the baby all while taking care of our other two. The time came where we wanted to take a more active role for our children. It sadden us to have to part with Ashley. We could not have picked a better person to help raise our kids.
