My name is Xenia. I believe in catering to a child's emotional and intellectual needs. I believe in explaining the reason for things versus telling a child "No". Instead, I will tell a child, "That's not something we put in our mouth because it's not food. We only put food and medicine in our mouth." In that way, the child is able to make the connection in its brain in a healthy and productive manner instead of bringing fear and rejection to the child. I love cats and dogs. I am open to babysit children, your fur babies, and perform light domestic work.
Hello! My name is Katy . I have my Bachelors of Arts Degree in Sociology and a Minor in Child Development! I have always had love and patience for children growing up as I was raised in a big family! I chose to work with children as my career path because I know it is what I am passionate about. I have been working for the city as a Recreational Assistant for about 6 years now which includes caring for children 5-15 years old. I have worked for a summer camps every summer which allowed me to care for large groups of children. My responsibilities consist of tutoring, crafts and sports! I have been trained on keeping kids busy by creating fun activities and playing actively with them through recreational fun! While of course keeping them safe at all times. I have been a soccer coach for 5 and 6 year olds for about 4 years now. I have also been a youth fitness coach for girls 5-12 years old. I have worked with my mom in housekeeping and have experience cleaning and organizing! I also knowing how to cook various meals and enjoy doing it! I am also an animal lover š¾ I have 2 Huskies and one terrier who I care for as well. I have a strong worth ethic and take my jobs seriously!
Hello, my name is Autumn and I've recently returned to my hometown of Los Angeles. I'm very excited to reconnect with my roots and plant myself into a new life here. Since I was a valley girl, I've been caring for others. Whether it was my younger siblings (I come from a family of 7 kids) or the sweet family of 6 down the street, I started babysitting at the responsible age of 11! Years later I chose to be an au-pair in Germany to an infant and her 3 year old sister Luisa who filled my days with curiosity and wonder. Not long after returning to the states, I lived with a professional family of Berkeley, nannying for their 2 daughters aged 7 and 9. With both families I tutored, cooked, played games, crafted, offered transportation, advised, championed, provided recreational activities and sang lullabies. In-between these lines of work, I was also once a clown and balloon maker. I have assisted elders with tender care, errands, out of state relocation and aquatic exercise! (I recently became a lifeguard and certified swim instructor.) I am an extremely clean and organized person, a self-taught home chef, attended neurodivergent training and believe that human connection should always come first. I drive an all electric vehicle and have a clean driving history. I am the sole caretaker of 2 sweet cats but have also looked after friend's dogs in the past. As a child I had a pet mouse, snake, parakeet and hamster so I'm comfortable with all types! I pay close attention to detail, am excellent at anticipating needs and am a certified masseuse. I have much to offer individuals and families of all sizes. Being a caregiver is so much more than customer service as it requires sincere intuition and heart. One has to navigate personal needs while also being present of mind to consider safety, technicalities and timelines. I'm also experienced in home renovations should any minor repairs be required. Collectively, I possess the personal qualities, the particular skillset and the creative talents to care for animals, homes and humans of all ages. I look forward to connecting to see if we're a match!
Hi! Iām a developmental therapist with a genuine passion for working with children and supporting their growth, confidence, and emotional well-being. I currently work with children ages 3ā10 while pursuing my Masterās in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy. I also have a Bachelorās degree in Child and Adolescent Development, with a concentration in Youth Work and Out-of-School Time. Iāve spent over six years working with children in a variety of settings, including schools, preschools, camps, and familiesā homes. Iāve worked in special education with LAUSD, taught preschool in both San Francisco and Portland, and spent four years as a camp counselor with Camp Galileo. These experiences have given me the opportunity to work with children of different ages, personalities, and needs, and have taught me how important it is to meet each child where they are. I also have several years of nannying experience and have worked with around seven different families. Iāve helped with everything from weekly childcare and school pickups to overnight trips, meal preparation, bedtime routines, arts and crafts, homework, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I really enjoy creating a balance between structure and funāwhether that means getting creative with an activity, heading outside to play, helping with homework, or simply being a caring and dependable presence for a child. Outside of my professional work, Iāve always been passionate about giving back to children and families. Iāve volunteered with organizations such as Safe & Sound, where I provided peer counseling and support, and Reading Partners, where I tutored elementary school children who were working to improve their reading skills. I would describe myself as warm, patient, responsible, and easygoing. I truly enjoy getting to know each child as an individual and creating a relationship where they feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. Iād love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can be a helpful part of your childās life!
āJanie was an excellent sitter for our two young children (4 and 6). She is warm and calm, listens carefully and responds thoughtfully to our children. She provides constructive guidance to them, helps them stay organized, encourages them to use words to talk out their disputes, and makes them feel safe. She was always on time, and proactive in planning. She helped with school pick-up and prepped dinner and fed our children on some evenings. I would definitely hire Janie again, and recommend her highly for your family.ā
I am a third year college student at Ca State Dominguez Hills and Iām majoring in Advertising and Public Relations. I have been taking care of kids ages 0-3 for the last 2 years. I have always loved helping people so becoming a nanny came very naturally. I love reading so reading to babies itās very beneficial for their language development and fun for me!
