Meet college nannies and sitters from Santa Monica College

Hi! My name is Sheily, and I’m 24 years old. I started nannying when I was 19 and have worked with children from 4 months to 12 years old. I’m caring, responsible, and love creating a fun, safe, and positive space for kids to grow and learn. I’m very organized and enjoy planning creative activities that keep kids engaged—whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor games, or helping with school projects. I also assist with homework and make learning fun and encouraging. I have a reliable car and can handle school pick-ups and drop-offs. I’m happy to help with light meal prep, packing lunches, light household cleaning, grocery shopping, running errands, and even walking dogs. I’m looking to work with a family that values reliability, warmth, and open communication. I’d love the chance to meet and see if I’d be a great fit for your family!

I have experience being a nanny for school-aged children and have super flexible availability. I am a part time college student at SMC, with my major in film, which is why I have Tuesday and Thursday mornings blocked out. I also have my own reliable and safe car (Toyota Prius). I am often described as calm, dependable, easy to talk to and very positive and encouraging. I love art and really enjoy seeing children be creative with me. I love getting on the floor and playing with children and teaching them new skills, like painting, braiding hair, reading/spelling, geography games etc. I love love love cats and dogs so any family pets will be loved as well. I have experience helping kids with homework or reading to them, keeping up personal hygiene like brushing teeth and washing hands. And also positively encouraging life skills like keeping their room tidy or setting the table. My experience also includes household errands like picking up things at the store or helping out washing dishes, laundry, light meal prep, etc. I’m currently looking for a new family to grow with long-term or occasional work as well! Don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you!!

I genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids — especially through board games, arts and crafts, and creative activities. I am great at cooking and household chores. I’d be more than willing to give a helping hand around your home! I also have experience with pet care and have a dog of my own who has taught me great patience!

Hi! My name is McKenna, and I have a strong passion for working with children and supporting families. I worked at Build-A-Bear Workshop for a little under a year, gaining hands-on experience creating fun, engaging, and positive experiences for kids of all ages. I love being a positive role model and bringing a warm, encouraging presence into every environment. I am very energetic and naturally adapt to each child's personality and energy level. Whether that means keeping up with active play or creating calm, structured moments, I can meet kids where they are. I am also very patient, understanding, and attentive, which helps me build trust and strong connections with both children and parents. I have experience working with a wide age range, from 1 to 17-year-olds, and I value open communication with families to ensure the best possible care. I am currently in school studying to become a child therapist, so I am especially passionate about emotional support, development, and helping children feel safe and understood. I am very creative and imaginative, and I love coming up with fun activities, games, and ways to keep kids engaged and happy. I am also more than happy to provide a reference from my time at Build-A-Bear Workshop!

Hi families! My name is Melanie, and I am a preschool teacher at a family center with professional experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I have experience working with multiple children at once and supporting a variety of needs and developmental stages. I enjoy planning fun and educational activities, supporting daily routines, preparing meals and snacks, and encouraging positive social and emotional development. I am patient, dependable, organized, and truly enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and families. I am currently looking for part-time or full-time nanny opportunities that align with my schedule. I would love to connect with a family seeking someone caring, responsible, and hands-on who can provide consistent, high-quality care. I look forward to meeting you!

I’m so happy to be a nanny! I’ve had the pleasure of caring for infants, toddlers, and older kids. My job involved supporting families with their children’s needs, such as feeding, helping them learn, and making sure they had fun with walks to the park or library, or even driving them to and from school. I speak both English and Spanish, and I’m CPR certified with a clean driving record. I’m also quite flexible with my schedule and can work some weekends.
