Hi! I’m Kennedy — a dependable, nurturing, and creative caregiver with years of experience caring for children of all ages. As the oldest of four girls, I’ve been the go-to helper since I was little — so I know how to manage chaos with calm, keep kids engaged, and handle meltdowns with grace. Whether it’s dinner, homework, or bedtime routines, I’m known for my patience and positive attitude. Your child’s safety, joy, and development are always my top priorities!

Booked by 1 family in Granada Hills, CA

I'm a nurturing and experienced caregiver-and a mother with over 16 years of experience as a nanny, after-school playground worker, site coordinator, volunteer, and teacher's aide. My background has given me a deep understanding of child development and early education. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development from California State University, Northridge, in 2013, and I'm passionate about creating a safe, fun, and enriching environment where children can learn, explore, and grow. I love incorporating outdoor play, creativity, and hands-on learning into daily activities. As both a parent and a dedicated caregiver, I understand the importance of fostering a nurturing and engaging space for little ones. I'm excited to connect with a family looking for a thoughtful, experienced, and compassionate nanny. Let's work together to create a supportive and stimulating environment for your child!

$24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a strong background in childcare, newborn support, and family care. I spent 3 years working as a preschool teacher, where I developed a love for creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments for children to learn and grow. In addition to teaching, I have over 5 years of nanny experience working closely with multiple families and supporting children through different stages of development. I am also a trained birth and postpartum doula as well as a newborn care specialist, which has allowed me to support families during some of the most important and vulnerable moments of their lives. My approach is calm, patient, attentive, and family-centered, with a focus on providing both emotional and practical support. Beyond childcare, I previously worked as a certified nurse’s assistant in senior living and rehabilitation centers, where I gained valuable hands-on caregiving experience and strengthened my ability to provide compassionate care to individuals of all ages. Outside of work, I’m a fur mom to two cats and recently said goodbye to my sweet senior dog who passed from old age.

Meriam Los Angeles
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m Meriam! I’m a 26 year old woman living in Playa del Rey. I recently moved here after finishing school in Michigan. I have experience babysitting my nieces and nephews from their diaper days all the way into their teenage years. I love being in the company of children and understand the importance of having warm, positive, considerate role models around. I’m more than happy to accomodate any special needs and to help with school work and studying. I also have experience housesitting for family members and family friends, as well as dog walking! I have a dog and two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with pet personalities, feeding times, ailments, etc. I’m very detail oriented, patient, and empathetic. I value clear, professional communication and maintain high respect for all children, adults, and homes. I’m highly punctual and understand the value of your time! My work background mostly consists of restaurant service, administrative office work, and creative marketing. I’m happy to handle a number of household chores while I’m watching over your child(ren), as well as feed them pre-made meals or snacks! But, I am unable to meal prep or cook family size meals myself, due to strong personal preferences. I spend most of my free time studying for the LSAT, attending fitness classes, reading books, creative writing and drawing, and exploring the beautiful nature and city scenes California has to offer! :) Looking forward to discussing your family’s needs and seeing if I may be an ideal fit.

I am a mother of two daughters, ages 22, and 13, and my years of parenting have helped me develop excellent communication, problem-solving, organizational, and time-management skills. I am responsible, trustworthy, dependable, and attentive to individual needs. Whether caring for children, pets, or assisting families, I am committed to providing reliable support with patience, kindness, and compassion. In addition to my experience as a mother, I have volunteered and worked at an animal shelter, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their unique needs. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to connect with both people and animals, creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment. I take pride in my strong sense of responsibility and dedication to providing attentive, high-quality care. My goal is always to give families peace of mind, knowing their loved ones and pets are receiving the highest level of care, attention, and respect.
