I am a compassionate and dependable caregiver with extensive experience supporting children, and pets. Over the years, I have helped families with childcare, and pet care, always focusing on creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. With children, I bring patience, creativity, and consistency, helping with daily routines, homework, and activities that keep them engaged and learning. In addition to direct care, I am highly organized and detail-oriented, assisting with household needs, errands, and keeping things running smoothly. Families describe me as reliable, trustworthy, and warm-hearted, with a natural ability to connect and bring calm to any situation. My goal is always to provide peace of mind while ensuring your loved ones feel valued, safe, and cared for every day.
Hello, I'm Shannan, an artistpreneuer, here to help you relieve any scheduling pressure. I was a reading interventionist for 5 years for Marietta School System in Atlanta. I've also remotely tutored elementary age students with Reading Partners LA . If your child needs help reading, I'd love to get them on their reading level. During my busy season, I facilitate youth workshops for churches, schools and youth programs to show them the importance of being a servant leader. I was a caretaker for about 2 years as a companion for Seniors doing private duty care. My heart is soft for elders and children. Kindness is what I lead with so I'm dependable and patient. I am a humble servant leader. Careful. I value respect. Transparency, cleanliness, honesty and integrity are traits of my "ideal" clients' family. While I don't have any children of my own, I love the 13 neices and nephews I've been blessed with. Your loved one will be in good hands with me. I love music and marketing. Occasionally, I produce poetry events and I like watching documentaries on PBS. Im a life learner. I love the Lord and I work for him. Hoping to hear from you soon! Shannan
Unavailable for full-time nanny positions Hi! I’m a dependable, warm, and experienced caregiver with over 15 years of childcare experience and 67 repeat families since joining this platform in 2016. I work full-time as an HR Generalist in Los Angeles during the week and provide babysitting support for families seeking consistent, reliable care from someone they can truly trust. As the second oldest of seven siblings, caring for children has always been second nature to me. While I have experience with children ranging from 6 weeks through 15 years old, I especially enjoy working with toddlers and preschool-aged children (approximately 1–5 years old). I’m patient, attentive, and nurturing, and I focus on creating a calm, structured, and engaging environment through age-appropriate play, outdoor time, routines, and gentle guidance. Families often describe me as dependable, communicative, and easy to work with. I’m comfortable managing bedtime routines, light meal prep, transitions, and following household preferences to ensure continuity of care. Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering in the community, traveling, hiking, Olympic weightlifting (which emphasizes focus, discipline, and safety), running, and unwinding with a good book. I typically respond to booking requests within a couple of hours during the workweek. I look forward to building long-term relationships with families and being a trusted part of your child’s care team. Important note: At the time of booking, please let me know if your child is currently ill, recovering from an illness, has special needs, diabetes, or requires any specific care considerations. This helps ensure I can provide the best care possible and avoid any last-minute misunderstandings.

Hi! I'm Lesley. I have experience caring for children of various ages and have had the opportunity to work with many wonderful families over the years, including several repeat families. I enjoy building positive relationships with both children and parents and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can feel comfortable and engaged. Over the past several years, I've built a professional career in business and operations, which has strengthened my organization, communication, problem-solving, and responsibility skills. I bring those same qualities to every family I work with and pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive. I especially enjoy spending quality time with children through games, crafts, outdoor activities, reading, and helping with homework or daily routines. My goal is always to make children feel supported while giving parents peace of mind when they're away. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, staying active, exploring Los Angeles, and spending time at home with my two cats. I'm also very comfortable around pets and am happy to help families with cats and dogs as needed. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your family, and I would love the opportunity to help. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to connecting with you!
