Giovanna $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a loving, proactive, and compassionate nanny and house assistant with over seven years of experience caring for children ages 2 to 16. I’m super energetic, patient, and always bring positive energy into the home. I truly love what I do, helping families stay organized, keeping the home running smoothly, and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids to grow and feel loved. Right now, I care for two wonderful kids (ages 12, and 9). My days include school drop-offs, organizing after-school activities like sports and tutoring, helping with errands, managing the family calendar, and keeping the home clean and tidy. Before that, I cared for an amazing 12-year-old boy with autism for almost three years, supporting his daily routine, school, and therapies with patience and consistency, while also helping with light housekeeping, errands, and pet care. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of experience balancing family routines, promoting positive behavior, and creating a calm and joyful environment. I’m CPR certified, fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and have a clean driving record. I’m looking for a wonderful family that feels like the right fit, where I can bring my heart, energy, and experience to make everyday life easier and happier. I’d love to hear from you! ✨

Deena $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Deena and I'm a first-year college student at UC Urvine with a genuine love for working with children. I've been helping out with my younger brother since I was 7, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to connect with kids of all ages. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I plan to become a child therapist in the future, so working with kids is something I'm truly passionate about. Families can count on me to be attentive, nurturing, and dependable.

Booked by 50 families in Newport Coast, CA

Hi! I have 16 years of childcare experience from nannying, babysitting, lifeguarding, teaching swim lessons, camp counseling, and interning at Rady Children’s hospital. For my entire collegiate career I had one main family and also worked for Chicago's #1 childcare agency, KGrace. I’ve also worked for childcare agencies in San Diego and Orange County. In August of 2023 I completed my medical doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese medicine. I have a passion for working with children and love to be around their energy! I am CPR, first aid, epipen certified; I am up-to-date on all vaccines. I have a spotless driving and criminal history record. I am California Trust Line certified; this is legally the background check needed in CA to watch children. I love yoga, hiking, painting, trying new restaurants, and traveling. I look forward to speaking with you!
