Find an after school nanny in Whittier, CA

Hi! I’m Bethany, and I’ve worked with children from infants to school‑age through nannying, after‑school programs, and child development centers. I love creating a calm, fun, and safe space where kids feel comfortable and supported. I’ve helped with playtime, meals, naps, diapering, routines, school pick‑ups, activities, and keeping things organized at home. I’m patient, hands‑on, and great at staying consistent with family expectations. I’m also comfortable with pets, especially dogs, and can help with feeding, walks, and simple care. I’m someone families can count on, and I take pride in keeping a home running smoothly while making sure everyone feels cared for.

As a dog owner myself, i enjoy being able to share my love and care for a family's canine/feline family member. I've cared for rabbits, ducklings, dogs (multiple at a time), cats, and even reptiles, all to the satisfaction of their owners.
