Alexandra P., Nanny in Lake Balboa, CA 91406 with 20 years of paid experience

🌸My name is Alexandra and I'm interested in providing care for your family! 🌸I am transitioning out of my current childcare position so I currently I have availability on Thursdays and Fridays, am available to work November 20-30, and will be available 24-30 hours per week starting December 18. 🧡 I am loving, patient, and highly attentive to the needs of infants and know how make them feel comfortable and safe. 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!

Maya A., Nanny in Lake Balboa, CA 91406 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi families! I’m Maya, 29 years old, your go-to babysitter with a heart of gold and a background in healthcare as a Clinical Researcher for 2.5 years. I studied Biological Science. I’m Basic Life Support (BLS) certified by the AHA so your little ones are in safe, caring, and capable hands. My passion for helping others extends to hardworking parents and guardians who just need an extra hand. I truly appreciate that some families may seek caregivers who share their cultural background or speak the same language. While I am an African American nanny and my primary language is English, I believe that genuine care, trust, and connection transcend cultural differences. I’m also a big animal lover, so your furry family members are always welcome too! What I Offer: Fun, responsible, and attentive childcare Light cleaning, laundry, and snack prep Safe and engaging outings (I have a clean driving record, just ask your little ones where they’d like to go!) Full-time: I accept a payroll system for easy payment and tax tracking. If you plan to hire me long term, the IRS will consider me a household employee and this is non-negotiable. Part-time: I accept Cash-app, Apple Pay, or Venmo. Disclaimers: I do not mind being recorded on the job. I’m there to make your life easier and your child’s/children’s healthier. We are a team! 🧸♥️

Effie A., Nanny in Lake Balboa, CA 91406 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.

Sarah D., Nanny in Lake Balboa, CA 91406 with 12 years of paid experience

I am originally from Wisconsin. I have a BA in developmental psychology and over 30 ECE units. Education is important to me and I value learning and sharpening my own skills as well as facilitating learning. I am a career nanny and I love what I do! I am fully vaccinated and follow CDC guidelines. I am CPR/first aide certified, with a clean driving record, background checked through LAUSD and can provide references upon request. My latest position was with a RIE family. Within this position I created a small pod to help facilitate learning and social-emotional development during school closures. The children’s ages ranged from 4-7. My role from July of 2017 until May of 2021 was full time with 2 active boys, now ages 9 and 7. I acted as household manager; coordinating schedules, shopping, scheduling repairs and other personal assistant duties. This position ended due to the pandemic as the parents did not return to work in person so they no longer had a need for a full-time nanny. Prior to these last two positions, I have had long commitments with three other families, two of which were high- profile. The ages of these children ranged from 10 months to 11 years. I have experience with developmental and behavioral issues ranging from ADHD, anxiety disorders, ODD and dyslexia. I thrive with open-communication. I am a strong believer in working with the parents to adopt the same parenting methods by using similar language and implementing plans for increasing developmental skills or dealing with unwanted behaviors. I have experience teaching after school enrichment courses for the Star program and Movies by Kids. Eventually I plan to open my own alternative preschool with a dynamic play center. Currently, I am searching for positions where I can nurture and teach the child/children that I am working with. I am also looking forward to helping a family in general; with cleaning, meals, laundry, driving and tending to any beloved furry friends. I am highly organized, nurturing and able to see what needs done before I am asked. Feel free to message me with any questions regarding my experience. Thank you kindly for your time and consideration. QUALIFICATIONS: * Over 30 Early Childhood Education Units (Coursework Completed) * Over 10 years of Nanny Experience (Including Children With Special Needs) * Over 4 Years Teaching and Tutoring Experience * BA in Developmental Psychology
