Hello, my name is Kathy. I am a proud mother of four adult children and have extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I am patient, honest, and highly organized, with a genuine love for working with kids. I offer attentive childcare, light cooking, help with organization, and can run errands as needed. In addition to raising my own children, I regularly babysit for friends and family, which has further strengthened my skills in nurturing and managing children in a variety of settings. I would be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to discuss your needs and see if we are a good fit. References are available upon request. Thank you!
Hello! My name's Olivia and I am a student at Loyola Marymount University, pursuing a career in education, with a passion for cultivating engaging and caring environments for youth! With me, your kids will be in great hands and household tasks will be taken care of. I have a variety of professional and in-home childcare experience including babysitting, dance lessons, swim lessons, summer camps, and ABA. I am also an animal lover with a husky and cat at home. I believe in curiosity-led adventures that allow kids to develop their emotional intelligence and expand their knowledge. This might involve getting active outside, doing science experiments, arts and crafts, and more. I'll work with you to involve as much of your family customs into our day as possible. Additionally, I have the necessary skills and experience to work with kiddos who have sensory challenges, ASD, ADHD, and/or DS. I look forward to working with your family!
I love children! I helped raise my (fraternal twin brothers). I have a reputation for my warm, caring nature, and for being reliable and trustworthy. I have been a nanny (in Nashville) to an infant and to a toddler and school aged child (also in Nashville). I have also been a nanny/tutor to a school-aged girl in Los Angeles, and a special-needs school-aged boy in Los Angeles. My main profession is writing, but I am seeking a side hustle to give me a chance to spend time around kids and also to supplement my writing work income since AI is stealing some of my work. = ) I have GREAT references!
Hi folks my name is Nicole. Currently studying to become a nurse taking my prerequisites attending SMC. I’m eager to meet you and your littles. I’ve loved taking care of children as long as I can remember, I’ve had 6 years of experience care taking.
Hi! I'm Cat, a college-educated, reliable nanny with 3 years of professional experience. I'm 26 and have worked with children ages 2–12, supporting families throughout my college years and beyond. My time as a nanny sparked a genuine passion for childcare that continues to this day. I am looking for part-time or one-off nanny opportunities, as I currently work full-time in the beauty marketing industry. I love planning fun, enriching activities, and I’m great with pets, music, reading, and movie time. I have my own reliable transportation and always show up on time, ready to help. If my previous families were to describe me, they'd probably say I am trustworthy, caring, and responsible. I’d love to support your family however I can!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
