Find an after school nanny in Reseda, CA

Hi! I’m Valerie, and I provide reliable childcare and pet care. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I currently work in an after-school program, where I help create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for kids. I am CPR and first aid certified and have a Mandated Reporter certification, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. I also have years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. Having grown up around pets and farm animals, I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and many other animals with patience and compassion. I’m organized, dependable, and patient, and I love keeping children engaged with arts and crafts, outdoor play, games, and other fun activities. I enjoy spending time in nature and creating a positive, caring environment where children and pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting your family!

Being around children is so fun and life giving! They are filled with endless wonder. I was fortunate enough to TA and mentor 3rd graders and kindergarteners in an elementary school and I have babysat toddlers over the years. I am patient, silly and kind and hold safety as a priority with your child in my care. Additionally, I used to be a provider for my mom who is disabled and would handle errands, med visits, exercise and occupational therapy for her. I also have house sit for 2 years and cared for cats and dogs as I love animals!

Hello Families, my name is Heidi, and although I'm new to this platform, I bring over 14 years of experience caring for children, consistently by word of mouth referrals from the positive experiences we all have shared. Having lived in this community for over 25 years, I’ve built strong, trusted relationships with families and schools. I understand that every family has its own approach, and I respect and support the values each household wants to instill. I genuinely enjoy being around children, their honesty, curiosity, and unique personalities, and I strive to nurture not only their growth and development, but also their confidence and sense of self. I’m attentive to detail and mindful of routines, and the little things that help children feel safe, supported, and understood. As a parent, I have raised my son (now 15), an honor student, and accomplished in sports. I’ve supported both his education, his creativity and athletic schedule while teaching the importance of honoring commitments and following through on responsibilities. I carry these same principles into the families I work with, always guided by each family’s own preferences, and instructions. I’m also a lifelong animal lover and have been caring for animals since childhood. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and other beloved pets, always treating them as cherished members of the family. Animals have brought so much joy, companionship, and meaning to my life, and caring for them has been one of my greatest pleasures. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every animal has its own unique personality, needs, and quirks, and deserves patience, compassion, and loving care. I am a positive person who is friendly, upbeat, reliable, and communicative, with strong attention to detail. I am CPR/AED/BLS & First Aid certified and a proactive caregiver who takes initiative and anticipates needs before they arise. I am respectful of each family’s home, property, privacy, and personal boundaries, and I understand the importance of discretion, particularly when working with professionals in demanding roles. I enjoy spending time with my husband and our son, reading, cooking, swimming, music, and encouraging a child’s natural interests, joy and creativity. I bring patience and respect to all whom have been entrusted into my care, recognizing that caring for your loved one is truly a privilege.

I was a professional golfer and now I teach golf. I’ve been around kids my whole life. Most of my work experience is kids camps and giving kids lessons. I am responsible, respectful, and kind. I don’t drink or smoke
