Hi there! My name is Frankie -- it's so good to meet you! I am 28, finishing out a Bachelors in Illustration, with a minor in Art Education. In the last few years I worked as a Senior Recreation Leader, specializing in toddler classes that are both fun, educational, and encourage development of both gross and fine motor skills. I also assisted in After School Programs for older kids, and led cooking classes for children ages 6-11. Working with children of all ages is the most rewarding work I've ever done, and I look forward to working with you!

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South Pasadena, CA

Hi! I’m Vitória, and I have over 7 years of experience supporting fast-paced private families throughout Los Angeles as a nanny, household assistant, and personal organizer. I’ve cared for children from 3 months to 13 years old, with most of my experience being with families of three children between the ages of 2 and 8. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, meal preparation, daily routines, activities, homework support, and creating a calm, organized home environment. Beyond childcare, I’ve also supported families with household management, coordinating vendors, running errands, organizing spaces, and helping busy households operate smoothly behind the scenes. I’m currently looking for part time nanny or house assistant opportunities while I transition into an executive support career and continue growing my personal organizing/personal assistant business. I especially enjoy helping families through seasons of change—whether you’re relocating, searching for the right long-term nanny, or simply need an extra set of hands during a busy chapter. I also love supporting first-time moms as they settle into parenthood by creating thoughtful systems, routines, and an organized home that helps their new lifestyle feel a little more manageable. I’m warm, dependable, proactive, and truly enjoy making life easier for the families I work with. I look forward to connecting with you!
