Hi there! I’m very excited about the opportunity to work with your family and help make your home life easier. I come from a family of 6 and have had experience with childcare since my teen years. I have been working as a dance instructor for over 10 years with a special interest in Early Childhood classes. In recent years I have transitioned to my career as a professional nanny with experience in multiple age groups and family assistant roles helping parents complete errands, home tasks and cooking. I love to help kids use their imagination, gain thinking skills, and appreciate nature. I am also pet friendly, tidy, crafty, and enjoy cooking/baking treats!
Hello, my name is Kristabel, a current icu nurse wanting to get back into working with kids while in between nursing jobs. I recently moved back to SD from LA, and am starting my next nursing job in early December. I graduated from UCLA in 2018 with a degree in psychobiology and spent 6 years working in ECE at UCLA. I spent 3 years in a young preschool classroom (ages 2-4) as a student teacher. I spent another year as a substitute teacher in different classrooms with ages ranging from 4 months - 5 years old. In my last 2 years of teaching, I worked as an infant/toddler teacher (2-16/18-24 mos) where I provided care to children in addition to planning curriculums and hosting parent-teacher conferences. In addition to working, I have babysat for many families over the last few years. I’ve worked in the ICU for the last 2 1/2 years, and needed a break from the emotionally heavy and stressful environment. In the meantime, I’ve been focusing on my baking side business and spending time with family! I love being creative, and emphasizing children’s strengths and interests in the activities I plan out. I am cpr certified (pediatric and adult), and am up to date with immunizations. In my free time, I love to create! I enjoy cooking and baking, as well doing arts and crafts. :)
“Kristabel is a godsend! So patient and fun with our 8mo old. She has extensive experience working with all ages and can adapt quickly to your child’s needs. Highly recommend working with her!”
My name is Anna Teresa. I am a 22 year old female. I have my CPR and first aid training. I always enjoy meeting new personalities, whether it's children, seniors, or pets. I am very patient and try my best to prioritize whoever I am watching's safety. I have worked with babies 7 months-11 years old, but I am open to taking care of a different range of ages. I currently work with adults that are on the spectrum Monday-Friday from 8am-3:30pm but I am available during the evenings and weekends! For animals, I have always grown up with animals in my home. From fish, to hamsters, dogs, and even a chinchilla. I also have experience taking care of cats.
“We had a wonderful experience with Anna caring for our dog for over a week. Our dog took to her immediately, which is unusual. She sent us lots of photos while we were away and you could tell that our pup was happy. We have already booked her again. Thanks, Anna!!!”
Hello! My name is Cecilia. I have been substitute teaching for the past three years and am an aspiring meteorologist. While I have the summer off I am hoping to babysit in order to save up for graduate school. I love math, music, and outdoor adventures! I have experience with kids of all ages and abilities. I also dog sit.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
