Find a babysitter in Van Nuys, CA

Hello! I am a PhD Student in Sociology, where I focus on the sociology of childhood and education. Beyond my research, I have had lots of experience working with kids - casually as a babysitter, but also more formally at a variety of summer camps. I am new to Los Angeles (from London, England) and have enjoyed exploring all the wonderful parks and enjoying the sun. Hope I can do more with your child(ren) sometime soon :)

Hi! My name is Tranell. I am caring, reliable, detail oriented, patient loving person, who overall enjoys helping. I recently graduated MRI school. I understand routines, patience, and creating a safe, calm environment for children. I have hands-on experience supporting autistic children, which has taught me the importance of consistency, understanding, and individualized care. I’m very detail-oriented, patient, and compassionate, and I always prioritize safety and clear communication. I’m comfortable with pets. I am also very knowledgeable, wise and helpful in many areas. I would love to be a help to you, as a support system would. I genuinely love being a woman families can rely on. I believe children thrive when they are surrounded by a strong, caring village, and parents do too. I understand how demanding parenthood can be, and I’m passionate about helping create smoother days and a supportive environment for the entire family. I’d love to support your family with reliable, attentive care you can feel confident about.

I’m a loving, dependable, and very experienced caregiver with a lifelong connection to children. I’m a mother of four grown children, so I understand firsthand the joys and responsibilities that come with caring for children at every stage. Earlier in my life, I owned and operated a daycare while raising my own children, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for multiple children and managing all the day-to-day needs that come with childcare. Since then, I’ve built a career in real estate, appraisals, general contracting, and home renovations, and I continue to enjoy babysitting and caring for children. I currently babysit toddlers, young children, and school-age children. I’m comfortable with different ages, personalities, routines, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and enjoy keeping children engaged with age-appropriate activities while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. After many years of raising children, running a daycare, and working professionally, I bring a great deal of experience, common sense, and reliability to every family I work with. I truly enjoy spending time with children and would love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust.
