I’m Jorden! A well seasoned nanny. I have over 10 years paid experience. I’ve worked for LBUSD and Long Beach Parks and Recreation. I also volunteer with my former high school often.

I am no stranger to picking up or dropping off at practice or school. I often sit for other families as well. Most of which have kids at the Belmont Shore KinderCare, Fremont Elementary, Naples Elementary, and Rogers Middle School. I have tons of experience working with children of all ages, as well as working with multiples. I am open to working 10+ hours and overnights.

Dung $30 per hour for 1 child

As a single mom, I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to manage work, family, household, responsibilities, and everything in between especially when you don’t have that extra set of hands when you need it most. My children are older now and I’m at a point in life where I’d love to use the time and experience I’ve gained as a mom to help other families. I know that sometimes what a family needs isn’t something complicated it’s simply someone dependable, caring and trustworthy. who can step in and make the day a little easier. I’m available to help with childcare, light house tasks, meal preparation, organizing, and everyday responsibilities that can sometimes feel overwhelming. Whether you need someone to help keep your children company, lend a hand around the house, take them to the park, or simply give you a few hours to catch your breath. I’m here to help.
