Hi i have over 14 years of Nanny (babysitter) experience. I am a very active person, l like to walk, ride bicycles, play ball, jump etc... I'm seeking this job because working with children is something I am passionate about, I enjoy interacting with and taking care of them. I feel like I am a kid at heart, but of course with adult responsibility. Spanish is my first language. I can understand at a basic level English. And I have enough recommendations to give you. Thank you for you time :)

Hello. I have 10+ years working with kids from newborns to teenagers. I am also third oldest of seven kids, so some of that experience did come from watching my siblings growing up. I work in the food industry and have 14years experience. I have 2 elder dogs, they are a terrier mix that I had the opportunity of taking in as puppies (3-4 weeks,) they just turned 15 years, so I have experience with dogs, smaller dogs, but I love all dogs regardless. I mainly love baking and creating fun little treats but I do know my way around a kitchen as well. I’ve been a creative person my whole life, so both visual arts and performing arts are things I’m passionate about. I’m a very neat, organized and detail oriented person, so helping with household chores is something I can assist with as well. My fulltime job was affected by the LA fires (Jan. 2025) and I’ve yet to find another full time job to work in tandem with my part time job. I’m looking for something with a set schedule, and preferably something earlier in the day.

I have worked closely with multiple families providing attentive and compassionate care for children of different ages. My responsibilities have included planning age-appropriate activities, preparing meals, managing nap and bedtime routines, school drop-offs and pickups, and maintaining a clean and organized environment. I focus on building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents while supporting children’s learning, independence, and overall well-being.

Hello everyone! My name is Mina and I'm currently a microbiology student in my last year of college. I have many passions, including baking, animals, ceramics, movies, and indoor rock climbing. Having been a child who needed more time to feel understood, I bring a patient and understanding approach in caregiving. ​I believe in working as a team with parents and aim to offer a fun, safe, and attentive environment where your child can thrive.
