Nice to meet you! I’m Kate, a 37 year old career nanny who moved from Chicago to LA in 2021 for a jet-setting/bi-coastal, travel heavy nanny position, and once the position ended, I decided to stay out here permanently. I live in Orange County with my girlfriend, and work M-Th, 7a-7p, in Studio City. My previous position was Jan ‘23- Nov ‘24. My background has always been in early childhood, and majored in early childhood education in college. I have years of experience with all age ranges and backgrounds: from kids who thrive in group settings to kids that do best with individualized, 1:1 care to kids who are neurodivergent. My first and top priority is the safety and wellbeing. Second is play, exploration, imagination, creativity, and seeing kids explore based on what they are into and things they find interesting. Third is, in my day-to-day, I take a child-centered approach. Including, but not limited to: time outside, walks, going to playgrounds, and finding activities within the home that the kids enjoy. My experience includes: working as a in-home support worker with neurodivergent kids, have worked at 3 early childhood centers (both as an assistant teacher and lead teacher); and all my experience has been from newborn to school age. In my free time: I love checking out new restaurants, adventuring the outdoors with my girlfriend, finding new trails to hike on AllTrails, the beach, and weekend trips

Hi, my name is Miesha. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management with a minor in Business Administration from San Francisco State University. I am a 5-star certified nanny with over seven years of experience caring for children from newborns to teens. I specialize in various types of care, including travel care, hotel care, amusement park care, occasional care, overnight care, and event care. Additionally, I am a newborn care specialist in training. I am the Client Services and Event Logistics Manager for Sunflower Nannies Staffing, where I train nannies on how to succeed in providing a variety of childcare services and match nannies with families to meet their unique needs. I am certified in First Aid, AED, and CPR for infants, children, and adults and am TrustLine certified. I offer flexible, open availability, and my rates vary depending on the child’s age, specific needs, and other factors. I love being a babysitter/nanny because of the meaningful connections I build with children. They remind me that the simple things in life can bring the greatest joy. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports, cooking and baking, spending time at the park, exploring new places, and traveling. You can find my personal business social media page on Facebook at The Village Auntie.
