Thaliyah Van Nuys
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am Thaliyah! I hold a background in working with children, years of responsibility as the oldest sibling in my family, and hands-on experience caring for both homes and pets. As a professional dance instructor, I’ve worked closely with children ages 4 and up, helping them grow not only in their technique but also in confidence, creativity, and discipline. I provide genuine care, can cook meals, provide transportation services and maintain a kept household. In addition to my work with children, families often rely on me for extended stays, knowing their homes, routines, and furry family members will be treated with the same attention and love I’d give my own. Whether it’s keeping up with feeding schedules, administering light medication, or simply offering companionship, I take pride in creating a peaceful and safe environment while families are away. I would love the opportunity to speak further and learn more about how I can support your family’s needs. Thank you for your time and consideration—I look forward to connecting soon.

Booked by 1 family in Pacific Palisades, 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!
