Booked by 131 families in Culver City, 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, my name is Tatia. I am very energetic, organized, dependable, and genuinely caring. I love spending time with children, creating fun activities, and helping them learn and grow at the same time. Over the years, I have worked with children of many different ages in both daycare and educational settings. I previously worked at the daycare center at RefugeeOne, where I cared for groups of children ages 1–11. I also volunteered as a tutor for middle school students, helping with English, math, and science homework. In addition, I spent two months doing service work at a daycare center in San Jose, Costa Rica, and worked for about three years in the after-school program at Lycee Francais de Chicago (French school) with children ages 3–5. Professionally, I have spent the last several years building my career in property management and operations leadership. I am currently in between career transitions and taking time to thoughtfully decide on my next long-term professional move. During this period, I would love to return to working with children through occasional and part-time babysitting, as it has always been something I genuinely enjoy and find fulfilling. I am CPR/First Aid certified and pride myself on being patient, attentive, responsible, and engaging with children. My philosophy is to keep kids active, entertained, safe, and supported so they feel comfortable and have fun while parents feel at ease. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I am available for occasional, part-time, evening, and weekend babysitting opportunities. Please feel free to contact me if you would like references or recommendations from previous families I have worked with — I would be happy to provide them. Please note: 2-hour minimum.

Hello! I'm a learning specialist/teacher and I'd love to take care of your children after school/evenings/weekends or when I have breaks during the school year (holiday breaks.) I've worked in LA and NY public and independent schools for several years and have experience with engaging and nurturing infants/toddlers/children/tweens/teens. Thank you for your consideration.

Babysitter with 10+ years of childcare experience and a parent myself, so I truly understand the needs of both children and parents. I hold a BA in Psychology, I am fully vaccinated, and certified in adult and pediatric First Aid/CPR. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children of all ages. I’m available for occasional job opportunities and would love the chance to support your family’s needs. I’m also comfortable around pets. 🐶
