Lilian D. Nanny in Los Angeles, CA 90047.

Lilian has worked for us for three years and is simply wonderful. Our children love her. She started when our son and daughter where 2 years and 8 months respectively and is leaving when our children are 6, 4, and the new baby, 10 months. She has experience with all ages. She is departing our household because of a layoff.

Lilian is master of all things crafty, a wizard with cranky/sick people, can tempt reluctant bottle-drinkers while creating a play dough still life, and makes our everyday life fun, safe, and sane. She is variously gentle, funny, or a ferocious monster chasing you fast, fast, fast down the street. Lilian is a fun and energetic playmate at the park and models healthy eating around our kids. Parents at our preschool have complimented her more times than I can count and random strangers who recognize my kids from the park have stopped me at the grocery store twice (!) to tell me what a gem she is. I can’t imagine a better caregiver for our family.

Lilian is Brazilian but recently became a naturalized U.S. citizen. She speaks and reads English well, is fluent in Portuguese, and also speaks some Spanish. She drives a safe, insured car that includes a third row so she can haul a crowd. She has a daughter (9) at Rosewood Elementary who is immensely popular in our house and currently lives in the La Brea/Pico area. She completed coursework at Santa Monica City College and also worked at Christopher Robin, a Reggio preschool in the Melrose area.

We’d be happy to answer specific questions or provide a further reference.
