Millie 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Millie and I am a professional nanny with more than 12 years of experience, specializing in caring for children aged btw newborns to toddlers. My caregiving philosophy focuses on fostering independence and creativity through hands-on activities, outdoor play, and structured routines.In my previous roles, I have managed tasks like meal preparation, potty training, while ensuring a safe and positive environment. I am fully CPR and First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, I love supporting busy parents and helping children thrive. I would welcome the opportunity to chat and see how I can support your family! I’m mom too my son is 13 years old. My last job was 6 years ago with a beautiful family with 2 kids of different ages. I had to leave this family after 4 years because the pandemic hit and I had to start working in other kind of job,

“Millie is one of the only people in the LA area that I would trust to take care of my children. Millie first started with our family after the birth of my first born in 2016. From the infant stage, Millie had all the skills and qualifications to ensure my child was cared for, safe, and loved. We felt very comfortable being full time working parents leaving our child at home with Millie. She slowly became part of our family. We had another child shortly afterword and Millie’s ability to manage a toddler and an infant was truly unmatched. Helping with keeping the house tidy and managing their meals- we were always amazed at her natural ability to manage our home and keep our kids loving their time with her. We trusted Millie to take the boys on walks, to the park, bathing them and all the other situations that came up she was always professional and respectful. During the pandemic we had to say goodbye to our over 4 year relationship. She brought such joy to our kids and was there for so many milestones. I truly recommend Millie as she has been a trustworthy and reliable source of childcare for us.”

Ariela $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a loving, dependable, and very experienced caregiver with a lifelong connection to children. I’m a mother of four grown children, so I understand firsthand the joys and responsibilities that come with caring for children at every stage. Earlier in my life, I owned and operated a daycare while raising my own children, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for multiple children and managing all the day-to-day needs that come with childcare. Since then, I’ve built a career in real estate, appraisals, general contracting, and home renovations, and I continue to enjoy babysitting and caring for children. I currently babysit toddlers, young children, and school-age children. I’m comfortable with different ages, personalities, routines, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and enjoy keeping children engaged with age-appropriate activities while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. After many years of raising children, running a daycare, and working professionally, I bring a great deal of experience, common sense, and reliability to every family I work with. I truly enjoy spending time with children and would love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust.

Booked by 1 family in Canoga Park, CA

Hello, My name is Aloha, I'm 24 years old, and I'm currently an au pair for a family of three children, ages 7, 14, and 17. The 14-year-old is autistic, so I'm able to look after a child with a mild disability. I'm French but I speak good English. In France, I also looked after children between the ages of 3 and 6. I've also looked after toddlers a few times, so I'm able to do so with clear instructions about their needs. I am offering child care, pets care, and household services. I can cook, drive to appointments, or other tasks. Looking forward to helping you :)

Ally 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Canoga Park, CA

Hi! My name is Ally 😊 I recently graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a degree in Psychology, and I bring over a year and a half of full-time experience as an Assistant Daycare Teacher. That role strengthened my skills in child development, behavior guidance, structured learning, and creating safe, engaging environments for children of all ages. Prior to that, I worked as a tutor, babysitter, and provided private youth soccer training, giving me a well-rounded background in both academic and active enrichment. I currently hold a Level 3 Early Childhood Professional Credential and am certified in First Aid, CPR, and AED. Safety is always my top priority, but I also love creating fun, educational, and fulfilling experiences that help kids feel confident and supported. Outside of childcare, I love staying active, being outdoors, and being around family and friends. I am also currently pursuing my certification in personal training, nutrition, and women's health and fitness! I look forward to connecting with families and becoming someone your children feel excited to see!
