BACKGROUND: Hi there, my name is Brooke! I recently moved to Los Angeles full time after getting engaged and I work part time as a Public Health Consultant. Now that I am settled, I am looking to get back into sitting because I miss being around kiddos! I also currently provide part time care for my grandfather who has dementia. EXPERIENCE: I have extensive experience being a nanny and sitter in San Diego, CA. I worked as a nanny to get myself through my undergrad and masters degrees. I have a bachelors degree in Kinesiology and a Masters in Public Health. I worked with kiddos who had developmental disabilities as well as those who did not. I worked with several families over the course of about 5 years and am happy to provide a reference if needed. PERSONAILITY TRAITS: I thoroughly enjoy playing, exploring, crafting, promoting healthy behaviors, and getting to know the kiddos and families I work with. I do not typically allow any screens when I am around children unless that is what you prefer. I love being outdoors and exercising so I enjoy engaging kiddos in fun activities outside that get them moving. I am excited to possibly work with your family!
“Brooke is such a warm, kind, loving, responsible person; I can't say enough good things about her! She worked with our family for 5 years babysitting and helping out our family. My three daughters absolutely loved her, and they respected her too, which was very important to me. She offered a great balance between fun and structure for my girls, and didn't let them run amok while I was away. You don't want to leave your kids with a babysitter where anything goes and the house is a disaster when you return home. When you work with Brooke, you can trust that it'll be a great experience for you and your kids.”
Hi! I’m Michelle, owner of Mama’s Little Helper. I’m a reliable, patient caregiver with experience supporting kids, seniors, and busy households. I’m calm under pressure, great with routines, and I love helping families feel organized, safe, and cared for.
Background: I have taught in preschool settings all around the LA area for about 9 years now with primarily the 2-5 age range. My background is in child development which I’ve studied in college. I got into the field when I interned at a local family resource center where I organized lesson plans and play groups for infants and toddlers. I consider myself a lifelong learner and study the Reggio Emilia approach and RIE philosophy with a passion as it tends to inspire my provocations. I was a full time teacher at a child development center in Ventura, California - that focused on nature-based learning, also known as the outdoor classroom approach. I stepped away from that career path in early June 2026. I also have some previous full/part time nannying experience (with infants/toddlers). About Me: I enjoy going to coffee shops, hitting the gym, lap swimming, walking my dog, baking and traveling to tropical places! I speak fluent English and Spanish Fine Print: •4 hour minimum per booking •Short Notice Cancellation Fee: 50% of booking total if cancelled within 24hrs of start time. •If anyone in your household has been sick within 72 hours of booking, please cancel said booking. I do not consent to working with sick children. I work with multiple families, including infants, and I want to ensure the health and well-being of everyone involved. I will also be transparent about my own health status. •All hours booked are considered “guaranteed hours” in terms of pay, even if I am relieved early or for any other reason. •Cash, Zelle and Venmo preferred! 😊
Hello! I’m a nurturing, dependable nanny with 14+ years of childcare experience in the Ventura area. I love supporting children’s growth through age-appropriate activities like reading, music, outdoor play, arts and crafts, and hands-on learning. My approach is warm, engaging, and focused on creating a safe environment where children can thrive. I enjoy using everyday moments as opportunities for learning while building positive, trusting relationships with each child and family. I have some experience with newborns and extensive experience with infants and toddlers, as well as experience with school-age children. I’m fluent in Spanish, love animals, and can assist with light housekeeping, children’s meals, transportation to school and activities, and light errands. Being a nanny is incredibly rewarding to me, and I’m passionate about helping children learn, grow, and feel supported every day.
“We can’t recommend Sasha enough. She was with our family for 2.5 years and was always dependable, professional, warm, and easy to be around. She built such a special relationship with our daughter and truly knew and loved her. Sasha is a great communicator, super trustworthy, consistent, calm, and just has a really laid-back, positive presence. She brought lots of experience and thoughtful recommendations while always respecting our family’s style and choices. She’s genuinely just super cool, and any family would be lucky to have her.”

I am happy to assist with playtime, homework, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, and other daily activities. I also provide attentive pet care, including feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship. I understand the importance of safety, reliability, and clear communication, and I am committed to making sure both children, pets, and their families feel comfortable and supported.
