Unavailable for full-time nanny positions Hi! I’m a dependable, warm, and experienced caregiver with over 15 years of childcare experience and 67 repeat families since joining this platform in 2016. I work full-time as an HR Generalist in Los Angeles during the week and provide babysitting support for families seeking consistent, reliable care from someone they can truly trust. As the second oldest of seven siblings, caring for children has always been second nature to me. While I have experience with children ranging from 6 weeks through 15 years old, I especially enjoy working with toddlers and preschool-aged children (approximately 1–5 years old). I’m patient, attentive, and nurturing, and I focus on creating a calm, structured, and engaging environment through age-appropriate play, outdoor time, routines, and gentle guidance. Families often describe me as dependable, communicative, and easy to work with. I’m comfortable managing bedtime routines, light meal prep, transitions, and following household preferences to ensure continuity of care. Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering in the community, traveling, hiking, Olympic weightlifting (which emphasizes focus, discipline, and safety), running, and unwinding with a good book. I typically respond to booking requests within a couple of hours during the workweek. I look forward to building long-term relationships with families and being a trusted part of your child’s care team. Important note: At the time of booking, please let me know if your child is currently ill, recovering from an illness, has special needs, diabetes, or requires any specific care considerations. This helps ensure I can provide the best care possible and avoid any last-minute misunderstandings.

“Susanna was great with my 2yr old daughter! She was warm and friendly. I look forward to hiring her again!”

If I sit for your family, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd rate me on my services to you. Hi! I’m a caring and dependable childcare provider with over 15 years of experience working with children from infancy through early elementary age. I’m currently studying Child Development and work on call as a substitute Teacher Assistant with children ages 0–5. I have a strong background in infant and toddler care and am comfortable with all parts of daily routines, including feedings, naps, diapering, potty training, and bedtime. I’ve cared for up to four children at once and enjoy supporting sibling relationships in a calm, positive way. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and supported. I aim to create a fun, nurturing environment while also following family routines and expectations closely. I’m reliable, patient, and communicative, and I love helping parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

Hi families! 🧸 I’m 46 and I’ve been a nanny for 15 years. I’ve cared for more than 200 families with kids from 2 weeks to 15 years old. I also worked as a teacher assistant at two daycares in Miami, including with children who have special needs or behavior challenges. 🌸 I love making a safe, warm and fun space where kids feel loved and can play, explore and learn. Your little ones will be well taken care of and they will have a good time. Let’s make happy memories together. 💕

Hi! As a babysitter / nanny of 15+ years, I enjoy spending my free time working with children. I am multilingual and have 6+ years experience volunteering as a certified EMT/crew chief/ambulance driver. I am trained for potential medical emergencies and versed in CPR for infants, children, and adults. Throughout middle and high school, I worked at Kumon Math and Reading Center and helped kids, as young as toddlers and as old as teens, improve their reading, writing, and math skills and build their self-confidence in school. I have cared for children as young as a few weeks old to thirteen years old and as such, am well versed across sleep training, swaddling, homework, and more! Kids never fail to amaze me and whether it is their brutal honesty or their insightful comments, caring for them allows me to indulge in what I am best: a kid at heart. Professionally, I work in music helping produce artists in the studio. I look forward to meeting your family! Booking Policy: 3 hour minimum for jobs
