Find an after school nanny in South Pasadena, CA

Hi there! 👋🏼 I’m Mar. I’ve spent over a decade working with children in many different roles, including nannying, tutoring, sports coaching, and behavioral therapy. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to build long-term relationships with families through UrbanSitter, Care.com, referrals, and word of mouth. I have a degree in Psychology and previously worked as a Behavioral Interventionist, supporting children through floor play and ABA-based care. I’ve also worked with children with different developmental and behavioral needs, both here in the U.S. and while volunteering in El Salvador. I’m currently making a career transition and have returned to nannying, something I’ve always genuinely enjoyed. I love working with kids of all ages, and I try to bring more to the role than simply supervising. I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and needs and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, understood, and free to be themselves. I’m naturally very hands-on and enjoy everything from homework help and outdoor activities to creative projects, outings, and simply spending quality time together. I value trust, communication, consistency, and building a genuine connection with both children and their families. Feel free to reach out with any questions! My rates vary depending on your child’s needs, number of children, responsibilities, and schedule. I’d love to hear more about your family and what you’re looking for. 😊

Hi, I’m Mara. I’m 27 with over 10 years of paid childcare experience, working with children from newborn through teenage years. I’ve supported families in long-term, short-term, and overnight roles, and I’m confident handling everything from daily routines to more involved care needs. I also have experience working with children on the autism spectrum, ADHD, and other developmental needs, and I approach each child with patience, awareness, and adaptability. My personality is calm, grounded, and attentive. I naturally create a peaceful, structured environment where children feel safe, understood, and comfortable. I’m very intentional about how I show up present, observant, and responsive without being overwhelming. I have strong experience with infant and toddler care, school routines, transportation to activities, homework support, and meal prep. In many of my long-term roles, I’ve also supported the home during school hours or summer camp schedules, keeping things clean, organized, and running smoothly so families can come home to a well-maintained space. I’m comfortable with both childcare-related tasks and overall household upkeep. I value structure, communication, and mutual respect, and I do best with families who are looking for someone dependable, calm, and proactive. Someone they can trust to handle both childcare and household support without needing constant direction. I’m dependable, consistent, and respectful of each family’s routines and preferences. Families I’ve worked with value that they can trust me to step in seamlessly, stay calm in any situation, and handle responsibilities with care. I take what I do seriously and genuinely care about creating a positive, safe experience for both the child and the family.

Hi Parents! It’s lovely to meet you! You may notice a bit of a gap in my reviews because I’ve spent the past couple of years working long-term with a family, and throughout my childcare career I’ve also been fortunate to be hired by repeat families and through word of mouth. I’d be happy to provide a reference! I’m now available to connect with new families in LA for both full-time and part-time opportunities. I’m an experienced nanny and childcare provider originally from New York City. I grew up taking care of kids and being around kids all the time because of my very fertile family haha. I knew how to change a diaper since I was 10 years old! I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns through pre-teens, including infants, siblings, and overnight/vacation care. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routine. I’m patient, attentive, understanding, and responsible, while also believing that childcare should be fun! I’m happy to get down on the floor and play, explore a museum, help with homework, or come up with something creative to do together. I received my B.S. in Advertising and Marketing Communications from FIT, minoring in English. In my spare time, I enjoy writing poetry, reading, watching films, playing volleyball, working out, being active, and spending time in nature. I’m a big proponent of laughter and imagination, and my working style balances fun with safety. I’m comfortable taking initiative and adapting when plans change. My goal is always to keep children safe, happy, engaged, and comfortable while giving parents peace of mind. Depending on the family’s needs, I can help with: - School and activity pickups - Homework and academic support - Snacks and meals, including cooking - Playtime, parks, museums, and outings - Bath time and bedtime routines - Diapering and infant care - Overnight and vacation care - Tidying and laundry related to the children. Happy to discuss further needs outside of this. I also have experience with assistant work and household management, and I’m happy to discuss your family’s specific needs and how I can help make things run smoothly. I’m Red Cross CPR certified and have First Aid training. Booking note: For bookings ending at or after 9 PM, transportation home will be required.

With over 15 years of experience in childcare, nurturing children has been my lifelong calling, I discovered at just 15 years old and have never looked back. I bring a warm, attentive presence to every family I work with, creating environments where children feel safe, loved, and inspired to grow. Throughout my career I’ve built deep, lasting bonds with families, many of whom I’ve had the privilege of watching grow from the newborn stage into thriving kids. I take pride in being more than just a caregiver; I become a trusted, seamless part of the family. I come with glowing references from past families and am currently accepting new clients.
