Hi, My name is Danae I’m 30 years from Los Angeles. I am Legal Assistant, Case Manager, and Notary for a personal injury firm with a passion for children & childcare. I’ve been a nanny for about 15+ years, I started by nannying for twins and began working for other friends and family’s children as well. In my years of being a nanny, I’ve mainly cared for infants, toddlers and elementary school age but love kids of all ages. In my free time, I like to play basketball, go swimming, cooking, and dance. I'm a dedicated, hardworking, and professional nanny & I am looking to showcase my experience and skills to ensure exceptional childcare. I strive to be the best nanny I can be. I wish to help families with providing a safe and comfortable environment for their children. I also encourage children to participate in fun and educational activities. Hope to speak soon :)
Hi! My name is Miesha, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. I truly enjoy working with children and getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routine. Over the years, I’ve worked with many different families, and one thing I’ve learned is that every child and every household is different. I’m available for date nights, occasional care, overnight care, hotel and travel care, amusement park care, special events, and families who may need care outside of a traditional schedule. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple children at once. I’m CPR, First Aid, and AED certified for infants, children, and adults, as well as TrustLine registered. Safety is very important to me, and I want parents to be able to leave knowing their children are in good hands. When I’m caring for children, I like to actually interact with them rather than just supervise. Depending on their age and interests, that might mean playing games, going outside, doing arts and crafts, reading, baking, watching a movie together, helping with homework, or simply listening while they tell me about all the things they’re currently excited about. 😊 I’m also happy to help with meals, bedtime routines, and keeping things tidy while the children are in my care. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality & Tourism Management with a minor in Business Administration from San Francisco State University. My professional background also includes working in childcare staffing, where I’ve trained nannies and helped match caregivers with families based on their individual childcare needs. I know inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your children is a big deal. I’m respectful of each family’s routines, household rules, parenting preferences, and expectations. I’m dependable, communicative, and flexible, and I always want both the parents and children I work with to feel comfortable with me. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and baking, sports, traveling, spending time outdoors, going to amusement parks, and exploring new places. Whether you need a sitter for a date night, work, an event, vacation, hotel stay, overnight care, or just some time to yourself, I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family!

I love kids and I have always had a passion for education. I decided I wanted to be a teacher when I was 5 years old. I’m a big kid at heart so I love making up silly songs and being playful. I am a mom to three daughters. In my spare time I like to knit, crochet and write poetry.

“Ashley is a phenomenal educator and caregiver. She cares for our girls and we were blown away by her focus on not just caring for our girls but developing them by creating a needs based plan customised to their stage of development. Our little girl went from saying very little to speaking and communicating her needs effectively after just one week with Ashley. We especially value Ashley taking the time to observe our kiddos and apply her experience as an educator to let us know what’s normal during this stage of development. Her approach is nurturing and her calm demeanour has helped our kiddo develop tools to address challenging tasks. She also brings a calm presence to the house. Ashley is extremely organized and provides a helping hand. She’s communicative, punctual, and extremely reliable.”
If I sit for your family, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd rate me on my services to you. Hi! I’m a caring and dependable childcare provider with over 15 years of experience working with children from infancy through early elementary age. I’m currently studying Child Development and work on call as a substitute Teacher Assistant with children ages 0–5. I have a strong background in infant and toddler care and am comfortable with all parts of daily routines, including feedings, naps, diapering, potty training, and bedtime. I’ve cared for up to four children at once and enjoy supporting sibling relationships in a calm, positive way. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and supported. I aim to create a fun, nurturing environment while also following family routines and expectations closely. I’m reliable, patient, and communicative, and I love helping parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“She was really lovely. Quiet and calming presence. ”
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!”
