Savannah 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Paramount, CA

Hello! My name is Savannah, and I am a Child Development student at California State University Long Beach, with a passion for special education and supporting neurodivergent children in their development. I previous worked as a part-time nanny for a two child household, with a 10m infant and a 3 year old child. I worked with them until the oldest was 5 years old, and I handled bedtime routines, bath time, meal preparation and feedings, bottle sterilization, diaper changes, and play-based learning to support developmental goals. I also work as a behavioral technician, where I work with neurodivergent children ranging for 3 years old to 16 years old. I use hands-off behavioral intervention techniques to build emotional regulation skills and work to replace adverse behaviors (hitting, spitting, self-injury, tantrums) with healthy coping strategies. I enjoy working with children of all ages and abilities, with a focus on supporting developmental goals through play-based learning. I am also CPR/AED/First Aid certified through the Red Cross, so you can be assured that your child will be safe with me.

Lesly $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Lesly, I have a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Cal State LA. I have over three years of hands-on experience working one-on-one with children of all ages in school and home settings. My work has focused on supporting children’s developmental, emotional, and academic needs and providing consistent care. Before that, I worked as a babysitter while attending college, further deepening my understanding of child development and family dynamics. Growing up, I was also the primary caregiver for my younger siblings, which taught me early on the importance of responsibility, patience, and empathy.

Anayah $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Anayah Walker. I am currently a Paraeducator. I am the oldest of 5 kids with my sibling's ages ranging from 4-14. I have been a major part in the upbringing of all of my siblings. With that being said, I'm naturally a caregiver. I have experience in being an in-home behavioral technician and an enrichment counselor working with ages 4-17. I know how to bring calm, patience, and structure to busy afternoons. I'm CPR-certified with my own car for school pickups and activity drop-offs. I'm also more than happy to help keep the house running smoothly with simple tasks.

Stephanie $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant with over 30 years of childcare experience, caring for children from newborns through teens. I’m also certified in CPR, First Aid, and BLS. I’m patient, nurturing, and dependable, and I enjoy helping children learn through reading, singing, games, and creative play. I also have experience caring for elderly women, including those living with dementia and Parkinson’s disease, as well as those receiving hospice care. I believe everyone deserves kindness, dignity, and compassionate attention. I’m happy to help with children’s meals, bottle washing, children’s laundry, and light housekeeping related to their care. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment while giving families peace of mind that their loved ones are well cared for.
