Hi my name is Aniko. I am from Hungary where I first started out working at the American Embassy as a nanny and baby sitter contributing to many families lives. I have lived in Los Angeles for over 20 years and worked with many high profile families in the film , music and fashion industry. As for me I am the silly friend kids need to have lots of fun and laughter with yet I am also the assertive teacher to discipline them for the creation of healthy boundaries. One of my favourite part of being with kids is reading stories to them in such ways that evokes and stimulates their creative imagination. I also like to take them for those nice walks in the park greeting and recognizing animals and plants. Through these experiences they are able to learn the cycles of nature and understand the inevitable laws of life. I am also good at keeping them engaged with age and developmentally appropriate activities. Keeping their area organized and tidy besides preparing healthy snacks and meals if applicable. I have excellent references from parents and hand written letters from children as well. I have college educational background from Hungary and decades of experience besides the willingness to contribute positively to the children's as well as the parents' lives so we can all feel good working together as a team.

Hi, my name is Carla. I'm a bilingual caregiver who speaks both English and Spanish, and I'm new to this platform. I specialize in caring for children ages 1 to 5 years old, helping them learn and grow through play. I believe that watching TV is not beneficial for young children; instead, I focus on interactive activities that encourage creativity, language, and motor skills, helping each child reach important developmental milestones in a fun, natural way. I have nearly 3 years of experience volunteering at an orphanage abroad, caring for babies and toddlers, and I'm also a proud mom of a 4-year-old, whom I've cared for since birth. I hold a standard CPR certification and maintain a clean record. I'm reliable, caring, and adaptable to each family's unique needs. While I'm still building local references, I'm happy to provide personal ones upon request. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and help your little one thrive!

** DUE TO A WRIST PROBLEM, I AM ONLY WORKING WITH CHILDREN AGES 4 AND UP** Hello! My name is Monique, and I was a stay-at-home mom of two (now grown) children. After my kids grew up, and I thought about going to work, I couldn't think of anything I'd enjoy more (or am better at) than caring for children! I have lots of experience entertaining children with vastly different temperaments and energy levels. I love children of all ages- including the ones that are old enough to think they're smarter than you! I genuinely find all kids interesting and enjoy talking with them and exploring their interests. I love being silly and kids like me - seriously, they really do! I'll be down on the floor, in the grass, whatever it takes, to interact with and to engage your child. (Obviously, older children may not need/want that kind of attention.) I am nurturing, loving, patient, fun, silly, physically fit, experienced, and professional. - Adult & pediatric CPR and First Aid certified (American Red Cross) -Background checked through the California Trustline Registry and through the company Urban Sitter uses. If your child needs help with school work, I might be able to help. I do love teaching. I home schooled one child for nine years, 4th-12th grade). I'm college educated, have a Masters degree from NYU, and have professional tutoring experience. My SUV seats seven, I can assemble nutritious meals, and I love dogs. I'm fine with other animals, too. I am absolutely responsible, completely reliable and punctual! Thank you for your interest in me :) **BOOKINGS ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS: 24-hour cancellation policy, $60 charge, which is not intended as a penalty, but a small amount of the loss I incur from missing out on filling a premium spot.
