Hi- my name is Jamie, originally from Los Angeles, CA. I grew up in a big and very family oriented environment. I began babysitting at the age of 15. I have babysat children ranging from the ages of 2months-15 years old. I am comfortable babysitting children of all ages. I have done a lot of volunteer work in schools,daycares, churches, and more which have all required me to interact with children. I am a very responsible, patient, hardworking, approachable, nice, funny, energetic, understanding, and loving person. When I babysit I enjoy playing sports outside, doing crafts, playing board games, reading, and much more. I always love helping kids with homework. On my free time I love to read, watch movies, and have a good time. Overall, I like to believe that I am an outgoing individual that loves to be around kids and has a lot of patience.
Hello Parents! My name is Jessica, and I’m an experienced, caring, and reliable nanny with 7 years of experience working with children of all ages. Legally authorized to work .I specialize in creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment while supporting children’s development through engaging activities and structured routines. My journey began in 2019 in Connecticut, where I worked with two wonderful families. I cared for three children—two boys (ages 4 and 7) and a girl (8 years old)—for six months, and then transitioned to a second family with four kids, including 3-year-old twins, a 9-year-old boy, and an 11-year-old girl. After moving to California, I spent 1 year and 6 months caring for two lovely girls, aged 4 and 7. And after that I had the opportunity to care for a baby girl, starting when she was 11 months old until she was 1 year and 7 months and with the same family I worked caring for their second daughter from 4 months to 2 years old. ✔️ My skills :Time management , Creative Planning, Emergency response, Excellent Communication skills, Problem Solving, Proactive,Patient . Services I offer : ✅ Last minute nanny service ( save my contact for future work) ✅ Overnight, house sitting and weekends . ( if you need help in a party too) ✅ Errand running & household organization ✅ House assistant services (Google suite experience,schedule appointments , and others ) I’m passionate about helping children grow, learn, and thrive, and I’d love to bring my experience to your family. Looking forward to connecting! Thank you!
“Jessica was great with our 10 month old! She was on time and followed his schedule perfectly. I would definitely hire her again for future baby-sitting. ”
Hiii!! My name is Carmina. I've been working with kids since I was 15. I started by watching my younger nephew and niece, and then began babysitting for kids in my neighborhood. Over the last few years l've worked primarily with babies and toddlers, but I love kids of all ages. Things that I like to do If it's nice out, I like to take the kids outside, go to the park, museums, go for walks or the beach if parents are comfortable with that. I’m a strong swimmer so your kids are always going to be safe with me. But if is not nice outside, I whip out my crafts skills, also love reading to kids, doing puzzles, playing with blocks, dolls or whatever the kids or babies are skill to play. In my free time I like to read, play basketball, a bit of soccer, and tennis! Also going to the beach . Spanish is my first language so I can teach to your kids Spanish. CPR and first aid certificate. Until recently I was taking care of a 21 months old baby full time, I take care of her since she was 7 weeks old. Before her I worked with a family for a year and half with a boy who was 4 months old when I started and was 2 years old when I finished and parents decided to sent him to preschool! two years, before him I work with a 2 years old and a new born. I still babysit for them for date nights or whole weekends if the parents need a break, they kids are now 5, 3 years old a 16 months old baby! I have a clean driving record and I can provide references.
I have been working with children for about 25 years. I have experience working with multiple children at a time and children different ages, including infants. Working with children has always been my passion. I am very energetic and love taking kids for walks, to the park, library, enjoy doing art projects, read books and just love watching kids grow and watch them learn new things. I also speak German and Bosnia . I am a mother of two school aged children. My son is 17 and daughter is 15 years old. I have worked with many families and therefore have many references. I am available for occasional evening and weekend babysitting.
“Alena is fantastic! Punctual, friendly, and amazing with our 13 month old. He immediately warmed to her! We will definitely have her back. ”
Health & Safety Note: Because I often care for 2–3 different families in a single day, I do my best to keep everyone healthy and safe. For this reason, I’m not able to provide care for sick children or in homes where someone is currently unwell (cold, flu, fever, cough, etc.). If I arrive and notice signs of illness that I wasn’t informed about in advance, I may need to step away from the booking to avoid the risk of spreading anything to other children and families. Thank you so much for your understanding and support in keeping everyone well! ❤️ I’m a caring and experienced nanny with over 15 years of working with children of all ages — from tiny newborns to busy school-aged kids. I’ve worn many hats over the years: babysitter, summer camp group leader, and even some families trusted to help interview and choose the right nanny. I truly love what I do and always aim to create a warm, safe, and loving space where children can feel secure and thrive. Supporting parents and becoming a trusted part of the family is the heart of my work.
