Booked by 131 families in Compton, CA

I have over 20 years of experience as a professional nanny and have worked with children from newborns to 12 years old. I am certified in CPR and first aid, and I am adept at multitasking while supervising children. I am also skilled in preparing nutritious and delicious meals and snacks for children. Additionally, I have experience in sleep training, potty training, and led weaning for babies transitioning to solid foods. I am a structured nanny and adhere to a sleep schedule that begins on Day 2 of a baby’s life, as growth and development continue.

“We were very pleased to have Jho watch our two young boys for a date night while on vacation in LA. We plan to have her back again very soon!”

Hi, I'm Jazmine! I have 10 years of experience with children, 9 years of experience with children under 3 and 7 years of experience with infants under 1. I am BLS CPR certified and proficient in Spanish. I tend to take a screen-free approach, unless the parents say otherwise, to encourage creativity and flexible thinking. I believe in developing a sense of trust, communication and respect with all families I work with. If you have any pets, I can make sure that their needs are met as well. Additionally, I am not opposed to doing light housework (laundry, dishes, tidying up), to keep things running smoothly once I depart. I am available for occasional date nights, ad hoc days, and overnights. Like what you see? I hope to hear from you soon!!!

Dear Parents, my name is Sabrina. I've always had a passion for working with children. I started babysitting at 18 years old, so that's over 10+ years now, was a nanny for 2 years, and an assistant teacher at a daycare. I now work at a non profit organization for children. I believe we really shape children's lives, so I would wish to make a difference in at least one child's life. With me, your children will have fun, playing, and learning in a safe and comfortable environment. I enjoy taking children to the zoo, park, movies, and museums. I also enjoy coloring, reading, writing or drawing with children. I am responsible, dependable, and fun. I have 2 years of paid experience as a nanny with elementary aged children (2 girls). My experience includes preparing meals, transporting child to and from home/activities/school and cleaning up after. I also have 10 years of babysitting experience, mostly for date nights or different occasions. I have experience changing diapers, bottle feeding, and putting babies to sleep. I'm honest, clean, organized, loving and respectful. I only ask for the opportunity to get to know me and put me to the test and you can compare my ability.

“Sabrina is friendly, warm and punctual. My daughter had a blast with her! ”

Booked by 3 families in Compton, CA

Hello! I'm currently a Design Consultant at an SF based apparel and accessories company. I enjoy making furniture, cooking, and doing anything creative. I have been a nanny/sitter for six years and have worked with children ranging from 3 months-5 years old. Getting to be a nannying/sitter has been an awesome experience because I have gotten to be part of kiddos lives and enjoy watching them grow.

“Shanti worked with my family for several months caring for my son 4mo-9mo 20 hours per week. She was a ray of sunshine. She always showed up on time and was not only engaged with my son but also was so proactive in helping out with any and all housekeeping whenever his napping allowed. I always came home to a spotless house. She is also wonderful to talk to!”
