Booked by 1 family in Avalon, CA

Hello- my name is Adriana. I absolutely adore children and love prioritizing educational and fun adventures! I have a background in babysitting and have a 15 year old daughter myself. I’m bilingual, love all things outdoorsy (so I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty), and I’m great with animals.

Adriana is fantastic. She did a phenomenal job watching my 4 year old Daughter. She was timely, professional, and very communicative. Highly recommend. Would hire again!

Booked by 110 families in Avalon, CA

Hi, I'm Jazmine! I have 10 years of experience with children, 9 years of experience with children under 3 and 7 years of experience with infants under 1. I am BLS CPR certified and proficient in Spanish. I tend to take a screen-free approach, unless the parents say otherwise, to encourage creativity and flexible thinking. I believe in developing a sense of trust, communication and respect with all families I work with. If you have any pets, I can make sure that their needs are met as well. Additionally, I am not opposed to doing light housework (laundry, dishes, tidying up), to keep things running smoothly once I depart. I am available for occasional date nights, ad hoc days, and overnights. Like what you see? I hope to hear from you soon!!!

Jazmine did a wonderful job with our 9 month old. We wanted a night out in LA and she was able to follow our bedtime routine and get our son to sleep while we were out. She seemed very comfortable and experienced with his age group. I would definitely be using her again when we come back to visit LA!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 29 families in Avalon, CA

Hi my name is Jeremiah (for hiring purposes I’ve used my family name Jamie). I have been a nanny for over 14 years. I have experience working with children birth to adolescents. I currently work in higher education and with preschoolers. My background is in child development and early childhood education for almost 20 years, with a specialization in trauma studies. I am in school, working on my master’s thesis in human development and looking to gain perspective with my time here (with you). I love the littles, babies are my niche. I incorporate a lot of structure and developmentally appropriate design for consistency in care based on family dynamics. I am pro active in holistic wellness *Psa* Infant care and/or special needs will be at higher rate listed. Please message before booking. I am not on daily to update my calendar as I have full schedule that fluctuates. It may reflect changes due to last bookings and may not reflect my current availability.

Jamie was fantastic with our 2- and 3-year-old! I was traveling to California for work, and she cared for them at our hotel while I was away. She came prepared with a fun kit of activities that kept them engaged and entertained throughout the day. As a child development expert, Jamie clearly knows what she’s doing with children. She has a warm, bubbly personality, and both of my kids felt comfortable with her almost immediately. It gave me great peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. I would absolutely hire Jamie again and highly recommend her to other families!
