Hi Parents, I'm Sil, a multilingual babysitter with experience working with children of all ages and also with special needs. I love playing games, telling stories, and doing indoor/outdoor activities. My goal is to add value to your child's life, keep them engaged and safe at all times. I simply adore animals and often find myself lost in conversation with them for hours on end. It's truly amazing how much love and joy they bring into our lives. 💜 Can't wait to meet your family :)

“Great job!”

Hi families! 🧸 I’m 46 and I’ve been a nanny for 15 years. I’ve cared for more than 200 families with kids from 2 weeks to 15 years old. I also worked as a teacher assistant at two daycares in Miami, including with children who have special needs or behavior challenges. 🌸 I love making a safe, warm and fun space where kids feel loved and can play, explore and learn. Your little ones will be well taken care of and they will have a good time. Let’s make happy memories together. 💕

Hi there, I’m Avalon! I am an actor and recently moved to Los Angeles from Manhattan where I attended NYU’s Grad Acting program at Tisch School of the Arts. I spent nearly a decade in Manhattan, where I first moved in 2015 to pursue my undergraduate degree at Fordham University. Soon after my arrival, I started professionally nannying around Manhattan and Brooklyn. Throughout my 10+ years of experience, I have provided for families with a variety of needs. From taking care of a newborns, to after school care, to assisting in household management, I have done it all. I have found that my artistic pursuits as well as my experience in teaching theater school-age children complement my child care work extremely well. I’m known for bringing a lot of joy and play into my time with kids. Further, intuition, imagination and creativity come naturally to me, which allows me to come up with thoughtful and creative solutions for conflict resolution and other obstacles. Feel free to contact me if you think we could be a great fit! I look forward to learning about your family, and sharing more about my experience and approach. All best, Avalon :)

“À true pleasure ! Fun and responsible. ”

Hi, and thanks for stopping by! I have many years of experience working with high-net-worth and high-profile families in Los Angeles. I’m TrustLine registered and have been thoroughly vetted by some of LA’s top nanny agencies. I currently work as a full-time, rotational live-in nanny in Montecito on a three-weeks-on, three-weeks-off schedule. During my off weeks, I’m happy to support local families needing occasional help. My schedule is guaranteed through the end of the year. I look forward to connecting!

"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!"
