Jessica $20 per hour for 1 child

I have a full time office job but have free time in the evenings and weekends. I helped raise my sister while my parents worked since I was 13 so I do have experience just not professionally. I used to dog-sit for a couple of years before I moved back to my hometown.

Giselle $27 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced educator with 5 years of working with children, including 2 years as a teacher, 1 year as a substitute teacher, and 2 years as a teacher assistant. I primarily work with children ages 6–8 but have experience supporting students from TK through 12th grade. Before my professional career, I regularly babysat younger cousins, helping me develop patience, responsibility, and strong caregiving skills. I also earned my CNA and Home Health Aide certifications in 2022 and gained hands-on experience providing care and support to seniors. I am nurturing, dependable, energetic, and highly disciplined. My commitment to fitness has strengthened my consistency, time management, and responsibility, which I carry into all areas of my life through habits like meal prepping, staying organized, and planning ahead. I enjoy connecting with children through activities like soccer, crafts, and creative play, and my background in education and caregiving allows me to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for those in my care.

Booked by 1 family in Northridge, 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!
