Booked by 131 families in Mission Hills, 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!”

I am currently available on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday night. Fully vaccinated, covid and flu. I am a PhD candidate at Northwestern in Theatre and Drama. As someone who works in theatre and drama, I appreciate how children know how to have fun and be creative. I am available for occasional jobs and I can be contacted on short notice. Policies: I charge +2 per hour for additional children not included in the original booking. I charge for hours booked + any extra hours, so please think about how much time you actually need.

“Liz is lovely! She was very communicative, reliable, and easygoing. My kids really enjoyed their time with her, and I felt confident leaving them in her care. I would absolutely hire her again!”

Booked by 6 families in Mission Hills, CA

Hello, my name is Kylee, and I received my B. A. in Digital and Video Film Production from Maryount California University in Palos Verdes. I love and have so much fun interacting with children. They have a such a way of looking at the world and I try to always remember seeing the world through their eyes from time to time. My mom spent many years teaching dance and drama at an elementary school which I would help facilitate by watching and playing with the kids. I have babysat since I was 16 mostly between the ages of 5 months to 6 years old. I also was actively working in the nursery at my church since I was 12. Children are amazing and can teach as much as they need to learn. I would really enjoy any opportunity to continue to learn and work with the little one's to help parent's out. Another fun job I have is working as a princess, face painter, and balloon twister. It definitely keeps my imagination sharp which is helpful when it comes to play time with toddlers and elementary age children. My mom was a single parent so I know how hard it can be. If there is any way I can help alleviate some of that pressure I would be glad to offer my services.

“Oct 2025 Update: Kylee is great with our boys, now 7 and 3. She initially started with us when we had 1. She’s reliable, responsible, caring and very entertaining with our boys. Story time voices, games, songs, face painting, dancing-she does it all. Both are high functioning autistic so she’s experienced with special needs as well. I would recommend her again and again! (2019) Kylee was fantastic with our 7 month old. He wears a helmet for plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) so caring for him is a little more involved than your average baby. She fed, changed, and kept him entertained and safe. We’re happy to have her as our regular sitter. ”

I am 20 years old, I have worked with elementary school kids in helping with math! When I was younger I would help my mother with the little ones, feeding and changing them. I love going on walks, going to the park with little ones, and doing crafts. I am also bilingual and speak Spanish. I also have a car for transportation with a clean record!

Booked by 9 families in Mission Hills, CA

Hi Parents! My name is Chyntia, pronounced Cynthia! I was a nanny for 3 years and a preschool teacher but now I currently work for a lemon law firm…drastic change I know! I have taken care of children from the ages of 3 months to 8years old. I am comfortable with bottle feedings and helping out with nighttime routines, while the parents go out and have a nice date night! I can also help pick up around the house while the little ones are sleeping. I love animals! I have a chihuahua terrier and treat him like my baby. He is definitely spoiled! I have experience with feeding, walking and giving them love ! I am comfortable with all size dogs and cats! Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have ! Hope to hear from you soon.
