Hey there! I’m Anamar and I have been working in the education and private childcare industry for over 20 years. I’m currently nannying full-time but looking to help other families part-time or as a back up! I’ve taught middle school and high school English. I have experience caring for kids preschool age to highschool age.
Hi there! My name is Frankie -- it's so good to meet you! I am 28, finishing out a Bachelors in Illustration, with a minor in Art Education. In the last few years I worked as a Senior Recreation Leader, specializing in toddler classes that are both fun, educational, and encourage development of both gross and fine motor skills. I also assisted in After School Programs for older kids, and led cooking classes for children ages 6-11. Working with children of all ages is the most rewarding work I've ever done, and I look forward to working with you!
Hey there - I'm Sadi! I started my journey in college with a nanny company, where I cared for little ones as young as a few months old and have worked with children of all ages in a variety of settings. Growing up in Montana, I eventually took my adventures to Washington for college, then spent a year in Germany before landing in LA in 2016. By day, I’m a student affairs advisor for graduate students, but I'm excited to offer my babysitting services for weekends and date nights. I can’t wait to meet you!
“She is incredible, kind, attentive ! We have worked with Sadi probably now about a year and she’s incredibly fantastic. Our toddler 2.5 year old loves her, we couldn’t recommend her more.”
Hi, my name is Karlee I am currently a junior in college at Harvard University where I study Psychology and Government and also am on the Women’s Basketball team. I grew up in a large household of 6 kids, where I grew up taking care of younger siblings and cousins. I currently have 7 nieces and nephews who I have experience taking care of, ages ranging from 1-8. While also having experience babysitting a 10-12 year old for two years! I have been an official dog sitter for nearly 3 years and love watching kids and pets.
I am a caring, dependable, and energetic caregiver with a strong passion for working with children of all ages. I have over 7+ years of experience. My experience caring for kids has taught me the importance of patience, creativity, and consistency in creating a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive. I enjoy engaging with kids through play, learning activities, and routines that encourage growth, independence, and confidence. I bring excellent communication and problem-solving skills, allowing me to connect easily with both children and parents. Whether helping with homework, preparing healthy meals, organizing fun activities, or maintaining structure throughout the day, I approach every task with enthusiasm and attention to detail. In addition to my child care experience, I’ve also provided support to seniors, pets, and households—skills that have strengthened my ability to multitask, stay organized, and adapt to different needs and personalities. My compassionate nature and dependable work ethic make me someone families can trust to care for their children. I take pride in being reliable, positive, and calm under pressure, always putting the safety and well-being of children first while fostering a warm, loving environment that encourages learning and joy every day.
