Booked by 4 families in Canoga Park, CA

I’m so happy to be a nanny! I’ve had the pleasure of caring for infants, toddlers, and older kids. My job involved supporting families with their children’s needs, such as feeding, helping them learn, and making sure they had fun with walks to the park or library, or even driving them to and from school. I speak both English and Spanish, and I’m CPR certified with a clean driving record. I’m also quite flexible with my schedule and can work some weekends.

Ana was great and flexible with my changing schedule. She was kind and communicative and went above and beyond to help out

I am 63 years old, semi retired and live in the Ocean Park area of Santa Monica. I am married and raised two boys who are now adults, One Attorney and One Doctor. I love children and I have time available to me. I thought I could earn extra money by babysitting - Child Care etc. I have a nice car, I do not mind driving your child to appointments and I even prefer watching your child at my apartment so you can relax and do what you need to do at your residence. I do not have any animals as I am allergic. I am Responsible and Flexible so please reach out to me!

Hi there, I'm Evie! Your trusted childcare provider with over twelve years of experience working with families from Ireland to New York city and beyond. With a background in newborn care and a passion for creative play I am dedicated to making each day with your child imaginative, joyful and fun! My journey in childcare has allowed me to connect with many wonderful families over the years. I have experience working as a full-time nanny, part time carer and night nurse for newborns. I’ve cared for children aged 0-13, specializing in infant care and toddlers. When not babysitting, you can catch me exploring LA parks or trying out new coffee shops. Reliable, organized and intuitive, I listen to your child's needs and respond in the best way possible for them. I am happy to assist with household upkeep as well, such as laundry, dishes, tidying up, etc. I am seeking part-time employment, (1-2 days a week) date night sitting/ occasional evening care, or temporary nanny/daycare coverage. I am open to more hours with the right fit! I am CPR and First Aid certified with a valid driver's license. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you!

Lovely experience having Evie watch our baby when we came to LA for a wedding. Calm and experienced, very good with all our specific requests.

I have a strong background in caring for children and pets, and I genuinely enjoy helping families feel safe and supported. I’ve worked with kids of different ages, assisting with daily routines, playtime, homework, meals, and bedtime. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I always prioritize a child’s safety and well-being. I also have experience pet sitting for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, and providing plenty of affection and companionship. I understand how important it is to follow routines and respect each pet’s unique personality. I’m organized, reliable, and happy to help with light household tasks when needed. My goal is always to give families peace of mind knowing their kids and pets are in caring, capable hands.
