Find an after school nanny in Ventura, CA

Hi! My name is Luna, and I am 19 years old. I am currently offering babysitting and household assistance services. While I am newer to professional childcare, caring for children has always been a part of my life. As the oldest sister to my younger brother, I have helped care for him throughout his childhood. Growing up in a large family, I was also often the cousin who helped watch, entertain, and look after younger children during family gatherings and events. These experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a fun and safe environment for kids. For the past three years, I have worked in a restaurant, where I developed strong communication skills, reliability, and the ability to stay calm and organized in fast-paced situations. My work experience has helped me become dependable, attentive, and comfortable handling multiple responsibilities at once. I enjoy spending time with children and am happy to help with homework, arts and crafts, games, meal and snack preparation, bedtime routines, and keeping kids engaged in positive activities. My goal is always to make children feel comfortable while giving parents peace of mind. Families can count on me to be trustworthy, reliable and caring. I look forward to meeting your family!

I grew up in Los Angeles with both of my parents and my older brother. I have volunteered at a senior living facility and previously worked as an assistant art teacher at an elementary school, where I worked with first and second grade students. I am very outgoing, bubbly, kind, and hard working. I am an excellent cook and can prepare a variety of meals. I also enjoy art and would be more than happy to paint with the children. I love doing crafts, teaching, board games, and finding fun and creative activities to keep the kiddos or elderly engaged. I have always loved working with children and the elderly. I also have four dogs of my own, so I am very comfortable and experienced with animals as well.

I graduated from Westmont college in 2025 with a degree in psychology and theater. I have years of experience working with kids, including teaching middle school, one on one ABA therapy for children on the autism spectrum, and extensive childcare experience. My specialty is creativity and play. My background in psychology helps me understand emotional regulation, sensory needs, and individualized support strategies. I learned in my time in ABA that structure and rigidity has a place, but I prefer to have more of a genuine relationship with my kiddos. I like to play and get on their level, but know how to maintain respect as well. I’m trained in positive reinforcement and have experience navigating meltdowns and transitions calmly and supportively. I have developed and worked on theater festivals and productions with kids and love using theater, art, and storytelling as tools for connection, emotional expression, and learning through play. You can find me usually spending a lot of time training and entertaining my 2 year old Aussie-doodle with daily walks, hikes, and trips to the dog park!
