Hi there! I'm Hannah and I've worked with kids on and off for the past 10 years. I was a nanny to a household of twins from the ages of 4 to when they were 10. I've cared for infants, toddlers, and elementary age children. I also have experience running multi-week summer theatre and art classes for ages 5-12. I have housekeeping and pet sitting experience with a wide variety of pets (for example: a five-cat household, with puppies, and senior dogs!) Additionally, I've volunteered extensively for multiple years with an afterschool program for teens with special needs. I'm flexible, personable, and love kids. I can always roll with the punches that life brings with little ones. I'm happy to be there for your family whenever you need! I have my own transportation. I can't wait to get started!

Hello! I’m Nico and I bring a warm, grounded presence alongside a genuine passion for child development. My background spans 10 years of childcare experience inclusive of nannying, arts education through dance, tutoring, coaching, and one-on-one mentorship — these experiences have sharpened my ability to meet children where they are, build trust, and help them grow in confidence, creativity, and character. I understand that every child is different and I readily adapt my methods to care for children holistically, understanding their unique personalities, pace, and needs. I am professional, discreet, and respectful in my approach — one that always seeks to honor your family's privacy and maintain a standard of excellence in relational rapport. I am organized and proactive by nature, comfortable managing daily schedules, coordinating activities, and communicating clearly with parents and any household staff. I am reliable, flexible, and take pride in my ability to be fully present. My arts and movement background is something I love weaving into everyday life with children — whether that's an impromptu dance session, a creative project, or simply bringing energy and joy to the ordinary moments of the day. I believe the best childcare isn't just supervision — it's thoughtful, attentive companionship that allows children to feel safe, seen, and supported. I would love the opportunity to connect with new families and learn more about their caregiver needs.

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m currently a law student at USC. I’m excited to spend my summer helping families with dependable, attentive, and engaging childcare. I’ve always loved working with children and have experience through tutoring, as well as growing up as 1 of 10 kids with many nieces and nephews. Being part of a big family has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Whether that means helping with homework, reading stories, getting creative with arts and crafts, exploring at the park, or doing mini science experiments, I love finding activities that keep children engaged and excited to learn. I’m responsible, organized, patient, and comfortable balancing busy schedules and high levels of responsibility. I’m happy to help wherever needed, whether that’s preparing simple meals, keeping routines on track, or lending an extra set of hands to make your family’s day run more smoothly. I also understand how important trust and communication are when it comes to childcare, and I strive to make both parents and children feel supported and at ease. I’m also very comfortable around pets! As the proud owner of a Saint Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog, I have plenty of experience caring for large dogs and would be happy to help in pet-friendly households (including homes with cats!). I would love the opportunity to connect with your family this summer and provide a caring, reliable presence for your children!
