Booked by 8 families in South Pasadena, CA

Hello, my name is Roksanda. I’m a responsible, reliable, and flexible nanny with years of childcare experience. I’m currently working as a substitute teacher for LAUSD. I have First Aid and CPR certifications. I’m a non-smoker and have a clean driving record. I enjoy working with children, and am committed to promoting children’s physical, mental, and emotional development in collaboration with parents. I believe I’m a great fit for caring for your child as I am patient, caring, and compassionate. Thank you

Roksanda was fantastic with our two kids. They enjoyed engaging in activities with her. She was on time and communicative and went above and beyond, washing dishes and folding laundry when she wasn't asked to.

Hi families! I’m a bilingual educator with a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and a Bilingual Authorization in Spanish.

Booked by 1 family in South Pasadena, CA

My name is ElizaBess, I go by Bess. I am 20 years old, a current Registered Behavior Technician, have been sitting for family and friends for around 7 years now and I adore children. I’m very passionate about providing care to children with special needs, specifically autism. I have a pup, Daisy, who is my absolute best friend. In addition to childcare and RBT experience, I also have multiple years of experience in the customer service industry. I got my first job at 14, working at an ice cream shop so I know how to make exceptional treats. I think what makes me a great sitter is that I see the kids as just as much of a person with feelings, opinions and emotions as me. I’m not one to try to put the kids to sleep as fast as I can in order to have my own time. I genuinely enjoy spending time and learning/getting to know these kids in order to make a connection. Despite my age, I am not irresponsible or inexperienced nor am I overly strict or uptight. If you choose me as your sitter, I’m confident you’ll get pretty great reviews from your children:) I have experience in ABA and would also enjoy an opportunity to provide services similar to that.

Very exceptional and phenomenal in her services. Treated my little kiddo like her own sibling and made him feel very special. Went over and beyond all that was expected as a care giver. Her professionalism is second to none. Definitely recommend her services. Thanks.

As for my availability, right now I am pretty much always free for several months! Please reach out if you need any of the following: babysitter, petsitter, household assistant. 👼🏻 I can cook, clean, run errands, create fun activities for kids, sing, draw, study and play with them. 🦮 I am also experienced in walking dogs and watching cats.
