Hi! I am an Event Planner, Personal Assistant, House Manager and Lifestyle Manager. I have extensive food, wine, and hospitality experience and love to cook and create memorable dinners and party experiences. I have also been a Placement Consultant for domestic roles and work with families to find the best fit for nannies, housekeepers, chefs, and assistants. If you’d like to connect, please reach out.

Angela is great! Super trustworthy, responsive, flexible and really good with my cat, always stays with him for a while and he likes her so much. Follows instructions perfectly, even if a bit more complicated than usual as my Ziggy is a senior cat

Hi families! My name is Allison, and I am currently a TK Special Education Teacher. I earned my Special Education teaching credential through CSUN, and when I am not teaching, I am available for babysitting and childcare support. I have over 18 years of experience working with children of different ages and needs, including children with disabilities and developmental delays. I am CPR certified, fingerprinted, and have completed background clearance through LAUSD. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, have my own car, and am comfortable helping with routines, play, learning activities, and creating a safe, caring environment. I truly enjoy working with children and supporting families, and I would love the opportunity to help with your childcare needs.

Allison was a perfect fit. It was the first time we were using a babysitter with our daughter, and she was a bit apprehensive. But all worries went away as they connected instantly and had a great night.
