Aside from having taken care of my four daughters and nieces over the years, I most recently helped my daughter adjust back to her work routine and cared for my granddaughter on a regular basis, both day and nights. I am great with children and see each as my own, and am open to rules set by the parents and abide by them. I have pets at home, so caring for pets is nothing new to me, as well as seniors. I also take care of all of our household chores, so that's also something I can do if requested.
“Wonderful experience, she’s cared for my 15 month old and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s attentive, and my daughter adores her. My daughter is a picky eater, so its been tough, but her patience has been key. She’s helped with chores around the house too.”
Hello my name is Reina. I have a BA in Psychology. I have close to 10 years of working experience with children ranging from infants to school-aged children. I am currently an educator who teaches different ages in elementary schools. I was also a behavior technician who worked with children with different developmental disabilities. I enjoy teaching and seeing children succeed.
“Reina was super friendly, great with the kids, and so kind! I appreciated how flexible she was with our ever-changing schedule. I have a neurodivergent child, and she got along with him so well! She played games with them, helped my son build a cardboard house...she engaged them in fun activities and ensured they went to bed on time and with a nice reading session. Our boys loved her and wanted to know when she would be back!”
Hey there! My name is Gwendolyn, and I have over 15 years of babysitting experience. I have cared for children of all ages, including working as a summer nanny and supporting children on the spectrum. I especially enjoy working with creative and imaginative kids, and I love encouraging fun activities, crafts, and play. In addition to childcare, I regularly care for pets and have experience with senior dogs and cats, including administering medication. I am also available to assist as a household helper-whether that’s light cooking, cleaning, running errands, or helping with day-to-day tasks. And a bit about me: I love all things vintage fashion, Disney, and American Girl dolls. I’m really into history, storytelling, and creative hobbies, which is probably why I get along so well with imaginative kids. I’m friendly, reliable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know and build ongoing relationships with the families I work with.
“Gwen was so great. When I asked my 5 year old if he liked her he said “I love her” 🥰 Will definitely be hiring her again!”
My name is Millie and I am a professional nanny with more than 12 years of experience, specializing in caring for children aged btw newborns to toddlers. My caregiving philosophy focuses on fostering independence and creativity through hands-on activities, outdoor play, and structured routines.In my previous roles, I have managed tasks like meal preparation, potty training, while ensuring a safe and positive environment. I am fully CPR and First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, I love supporting busy parents and helping children thrive. I would welcome the opportunity to chat and see how I can support your family! I’m mom too my son is 13 years old. My last job was 6 years ago with a beautiful family with 2 kids of different ages. I had to leave this family after 4 years because the pandemic hit and I had to start working in other kind of job,
“Millie is one of the only people in the LA area that I would trust to take care of my children. Millie first started with our family after the birth of my first born in 2016. From the infant stage, Millie had all the skills and qualifications to ensure my child was cared for, safe, and loved. We felt very comfortable being full time working parents leaving our child at home with Millie. She slowly became part of our family. We had another child shortly afterword and Millie’s ability to manage a toddler and an infant was truly unmatched. Helping with keeping the house tidy and managing their meals- we were always amazed at her natural ability to manage our home and keep our kids loving their time with her. We trusted Millie to take the boys on walks, to the park, bathing them and all the other situations that came up she was always professional and respectful. During the pandemic we had to say goodbye to our over 4 year relationship. She brought such joy to our kids and was there for so many milestones. I truly recommend Millie as she has been a trustworthy and reliable source of childcare for us.”
My name is Alexandra and I am 27 years old. From a very young age I have attracted and been surrounded by children, but my first paid experience in the US began two years ago, when I decided to travel to this country as an au pair and experienced a cultural exchange. I developed new skills with infants and toddlers, sleep training, meal prep, motor development, crafts, sensory activities, baby milestones and much more (considering I lived with them). I believe that children feed your soul, strengthen your personality, patience, discipline and dedication and that is why I love working with them. I'm CPR and first aid certified. I'd describe my personality as kind, bright and optimistic, and I'm looking for a job that provides me stability and a good atmosphere. I will be available the first week of October and I am located in The Valley.
“Alexa is the best babysitter I have ever had and she is still working with us full-time but we will be with family for holidays so hoping that she could be helpful for another family. I was nervous to leave my 4 month old with someone all day while my husband and I were both at work but Alexa has been so amazing I have no concerns that he is in wonderful hands. She proposed a sleeping and eating schedule and tidies while he sleeps, and is great at keeping him engaged with activities. She is also great with my 3.5 year old who is in preschool but is occasionally around as well. Happy to share more to anyone who is considering booking her!”

"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!"
