Maria Santa Monica
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Maria, a 25 year old university student seeking a job as a nanny. A little about me.. I grew up in Culver City until age 14 and moved to Santa Monica, I enjoy going to concerts and love to dance. I am an open-minded curious person; I like to try new things and travel to new places. I've just moved back from studying abroad in Europe. I lived in Germany for two years learning German. Although I am new to becoming a nanny, I do have years of experience in babysitting. As an oldest sibling and cousin, I grew up always being around children. (There are 13 of us!) As an older sister I am protective and nurturing to my younger siblings. Apart from that, I volunteered at a Summer Camp in Culver City for children between the ages of five and thirteen. A few of my responsibilities were to create and join in activities, tidy the work/play areas, and supervise groups on weekly field trips. Currently in university I am studying German as a Foreign Language. Studying language has helped strengthen my communication, adaptability, and intercultural competence skills. I would be thrilled to teach or practice any of my spoken languages with them! I am great at being interactive with kids, accustomed to following routines and completing multiple tasks- whether that be in the house or running errands. I would appreciate an opportunity to meet in person to answer any questions you may have and see if I may be a great candidate to help you and your family!

Lucas El Segundo
$18 per hour for 1 child

I'm a recent graduate from Loyola Marymount University (2023) with a degree in English. I am compassionate, easygoing, and have experience caring for pets and young children. I was a behavior technician for 5 months working with a young autistic boy (3 years old), and have done nannying for friends and family in the past. I am also very fond of animals and open to house-sitting and caring for cats and dogs (walks, food, playing, litterbox cleaning, etc.), and other animals as long as I am informed about what I must do. If you would like to chat before a job, feel free to reach out for a FaceTime, phone call / interview.
