Booked by 4 families in Van Nuys, CA

Hi! I’m 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 3–10 while pursuing my Master’s in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Development, with a concentration in Youth Work and Out-of-School Time. I’ve spent over six years working with children in a variety of settings, including schools, preschools, camps, and families’ homes. I’ve 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. I’ve 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 fun—whether 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, I’ve always been passionate about giving back to children and families. I’ve 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. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can be a helpful part of your child’s life!

“Janie 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.”

Booked by 3 families in Van Nuys, CA

Hello! I am a PhD Student in Sociology, where I focus on the sociology of childhood and education. Beyond my research, I have had lots of experience working with kids - casually as a babysitter, but also more formally at a variety of summer camps. I am new to Los Angeles (from London, England) and have enjoyed exploring all the wonderful parks and enjoying the sun. Hope I can do more with your child(ren) sometime soon :)

“Kids immediately warmed to Lara and had such fun playing with her! Will definitely hire again. ”
