Alissia R., Nanny in Mountain Center, CA 92561 with 15 years of paid experience

I have been working with children for 15 years. My first job with children was at a daycare, Seymour Family Childcare. Then, at Desert Recreation District. I currently work for a family Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with 2 boys ages 2 and 4. I absolutely fell in love with this line of work. I had tried hospitality, insurance and administrative. However none of those made me as happy as working with children. I have worked with ages newborn to 12 years old. Along with childcare, I also provide home cleaning, cooking, errands, pets, etc. Anything you need to run a caring/clean household I can do it. I am fluent in English and Spanish, which does come in handy quite often. I am tidy and timely. I take instruction with ease and I’m glad to take any constructive advice or tips on how to do an even better job. As for my personality, I tend to be on the silly side. Which works out perfect when working with children. I love exploring, learning new things, taking care of my family, and a huge fan of Sci-fi (so of course Star Wars included). I love being a mom however that does not pay the bills so I hope to do the next best thing, which is to be a fun, caring nanny for a lovely family ?

Alissia helped us out with our three high-energy boys during a busy and chaotic extended stay in Palm Springs. She was super proactive, looked for opportunities to support the kids (preemptively getting them fed and staying active) and keep them engaged (with games, activities, conversation). She asked good questions, worked well independently, and communicated very effectively. She was a joy to have with us.

Esmeralda G., Nanny in Mountain Center, CA 92561 with 9 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Esmeralda, and I’m a Communications student who loves creativity, learning, and building connections with others. I’m a patient, caring, and responsible person who enjoys creating a safe and positive environment where children can feel comfortable being themselves. I love incorporating creativity into everyday life through activities like baking, arts and crafts, music, and other hands-on experiences. I also speak multiple languages, including English, Spanish, and French, and I enjoy connecting with people from different backgrounds. I believe every child has their own unique personality and learning style, and I love being someone who can support and encourage them along the way. I love being a sitter because I enjoy being part of a child’s journey and watching them learn, grow, and discover new things about themselves. Childhood is such an important time for building confidence, curiosity, and creativity, and I love being someone who can provide support, encouragement, and a positive presence in their lives. I enjoy creating meaningful experiences with children, whether that’s helping them explore their interests, trying new activities, reading together, or simply being someone they can trust and feel comfortable around. I have 9 years of paid experience caring for children by providing supervision, helping with routines, preparing meals and snacks, and creating engaging activities. My background in food service and managing a bakery has also helped me develop strong responsibility, organization, patience, and safety skills. I am comfortable multitasking, staying organized, and adapting to different situations while making sure children feel cared for.

Nicole C., Nanny in Mountain Center, CA 92561 with 25 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Nicole Clark, and caring for children has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I believe that being a nanny is about much more than supervision—it's about creating a safe, loving, structured environment where children feel valued, supported, and encouraged to grow. I am the former owner of four successful daycare centers, where I gained extensive experience caring for children of all ages while managing daily operations, creating educational activities, maintaining safe environments, and building strong relationships with families. This experience gave me a deep understanding of child development, patience, communication, and the importance of creating routines that help children thrive. In addition to my childcare background, I have extensive experience in luxury hospitality, home management, and concierge services. These roles have strengthened my organizational skills, professionalism, discretion, and ability to anticipate a family's needs while keeping a home running smoothly. As a nanny, my goal is to become someone children feel safe with and parents trust completely. I love planning creative activities, reading stories, spending time outdoors, preparing nutritious meals, helping with homework, and encouraging confidence, kindness, and independence. I believe every child is unique, and I enjoy tailoring my care to each child's personality and each family's parenting style. Families describe me as nurturing, dependable, organized, and calm under pressure. I take pride in maintaining a clean, peaceful home while creating meaningful experiences and lasting memories for the children in my care. I believe open communication and trust are the foundation of every successful relationship with a family. I am committed to providing exceptional care, bringing warmth, professionalism, and reliability into your home every day. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I would be honored to become a trusted part of your family's support system and look forward to the opportunity to meet you.

I judge worked with children my whole life. I graduation from college with a BA in elementary education. Upon graduation I bought my own preschool and this was my passion for 15 years/. When Covid hit I tried to power through it but things were too rough and I had to give up my school. I took a year off from working after that and now I am bored and ready to work again. I miss working with children and would love to begin doing so again without the head ache of being a business owner/.

Milena R., Nanny in Mountain Center, CA 92561 with 2 years of paid experience

CPR, AED & First Aid Certified. Currently I am continuing my education in Nursing, therefore I am looking for a part-time position. I am preparing for my entrance exam. However I need a balance in my routine. I enjoy watching & caring for children, to me they are a lot of fun. Occasionally when I have time over the weekend I enjoy having my niece and nephew which are teens as well as a 2 & 4 year old. I've been told I am a natural with children, it never feels like a a job instead it's about nurture, care and activity stimulating their minds while having fun at the same time. I have a hobby and professional experience in women's fitness which comes hand in hand when finding activities to keep children engaged, happy and always smiling. Some of my background is in Marketing/Business Development & Executive Assisting. I am great at multitasking, efficient and very clean and organized. In the near future my commitment and focus is on furthering my education with maintaining a daily balance. I am looking for a position that compliments my natural personality of caring for others.
