Hi my name is Marlem, I look forward meeting you and working for your family, but most of all helping out when times are needed. Also, as much as you need me I am there and I'm happy to be there for your kids and you. I love to cook from Breakfast, lunch, and dinner and I love to bake too. I like to interact with your kids from their sports, school activities, homework, anything that entertains them and its educational. I like to make or prep your kids meal(s) that's left for dinner time, once they are ready or meanwhile they are doing homework. I know and understand when you need help and you don't have help. Because my mom was a nanny for a very long time and I grew up watching her. Seeing her be a nanny was a good experience for me and now that I'm grown I would like to give back just like my mom did, I understand why my mom did it now and I love her for it. I have my own reliable car and am comfortable with drop offs and pick-ups, available for all job(s) around the Los Angeles area & Orange County area too. I've worked with family's located up to 25-36 miles from me. I am responsible, reliable and puntual for all my families regardless the distance.

Dear Parents, my name is Sabrina. I've always had a passion for working with children. I started babysitting at 18 years old, so that's over 10+ years now, was a nanny for 2 years, and an assistant teacher at a daycare. I now work at a non profit organization for children. I believe we really shape children's lives, so I would wish to make a difference in at least one child's life. With me, your children will have fun, playing, and learning in a safe and comfortable environment. I enjoy taking children to the zoo, park, movies, and museums. I also enjoy coloring, reading, writing or drawing with children. I am responsible, dependable, and fun. I have 2 years of paid experience as a nanny with elementary aged children (2 girls). My experience includes preparing meals, transporting child to and from home/activities/school and cleaning up after. I also have 10 years of babysitting experience, mostly for date nights or different occasions. I have experience changing diapers, bottle feeding, and putting babies to sleep. I'm honest, clean, organized, loving and respectful. I only ask for the opportunity to get to know me and put me to the test and you can compare my ability.

Sabrina is friendly, warm and punctual. My daughter had a blast with her!

I’m a parent of 1, my daughter is now an adult. I retired from the Army after 20yrs in 2016. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and have worked(played) in their nursery for over a year in my church. I have also taught in Sunday school 3-5yr olds and 12-15 yr olds. I love babysitting kids because I only had 1 and wanted more. I wouldn't have been able to continue in my career or make it to retirement if it wasn't for the babysitters & family I had for my daughter. I’ve lived in multiple states and 2 other countries as well as visited 19 countries for work. I love “working” with kids because they are nonjudgmental, carefree and a great reminder to slow down and enjoy simple things in life. I'm not looking to start a new career, I believe kids can make life fun and happier than being in a boring corporate office or answering to a boss.

Jessica took great care of my daughter! She was punctual, very patient and friendly. My daughter loved spending time with her. I would highly recommend her.

Hey I’m Nami. I’ve been babysitting for a few years and Ive always taken care of my younger siblings/cousins growing up. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, and I’m always happy to follow any specific routines or rules your family has. I take pride in being reliable and communicative, and I genuinely care about each child I work with. Clear communication is important to me so I can always send check ins or share updates if wanted. I have experience working with students from elementary through high school, including special education. I worked for a private agency that specialized in children with special needs/behavioral issues as well. Willing to do any cooking/cleaning needed. Non-smoker and have reliable transportation!

Very reliable and punctual. Felt confident leaving my kid in her care. I recommend to anyone looking for a baby sitter. Going to book again.

Hi , my name is Queenie and Fung is my official name. I graduated from East Los Angeles community college. I’m a house wife and a mother of 13 year old son. My family includes my husband, my son and 2 dogs. I enjoy being a babysitter because l love kids. I volunteer at my son’s school, Repetto Elementary School for 3 years, assisting kindergarten teachers with craft projects . Additionally, I have volunteer at the San Gabriel Humane Society Animal Shelter for 8 years, walking with the dogs, doing laundry and helping with events. I also serve as the secretary of the Honor Society at Sunshine Tennis School at Tample City, where my son has been a student for 6 years and my husband volunteers as a coach almost every Sunday morning. Furthermore, I have volunteered at my son’s Boy Scouts workshop at the T286 Troop in Monterey Park since he was 6 years old. Through these experiences, l have learned how to care for and communicate with both children and animals. I cook for my family every day and manage household chores. I am seeking a part time job to continue supporting my family. I hope to hear from you ! l took a Babysitter training with the American Red Cross and also received a certificate on August 3, 2024. I have completed the American Heart Association Basic Life Support (CPR and AED) program and received their certification, along with a First Aid certification card on August 15 and 18, 2024. I attended the CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) basic lifesaving training class at the Monterey Park Fire Department in November 7-10. The CERT certificate will be sent out to participants in a couple of months.

Re: Applicant- Fung Yeung (Queenie) To Whom It May Concern: It is with great pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for Ms Queenie Yeung. I have been interacting with her since 2018 when she brought her son, Brody to our tennis program. Queenie has been an active volunteer in my tennis school since. This has given me this incredible opportunity to observe her exceptional character. Queenie came to us in 2018 as an open minded and thoughtful individual who was very interested in helping others. In fact, she is one of the most organized helpers who I can assign tasks to. She had acted as a team mom to help her tennis team in planning and logistics. She is also a problem solver and has possessed very positive attitude. I had also asked her to be in charge of our tennis honor society as a secretary in handling our routine operations and parent relations. She demonstrated to be an honest, sincere and responsible person. When we have meetings, she is always punctual and offering great advice to others. Another valuable quality of Queenie is her ability to encourage and positively influence those around her. She has been very patient and observant. She also possesses great communication skills and was able to handle challenges when arises. In summary, Mr. Fung Yeung (Queenie) is an exceptional person with excellent discipline and inquisitive mind. With her strong self-motivation to complete tasks, and positive attitude, she will definitely excel in her career goals. With all these great qualities mentioned above, I will give her my highest recommendation to your organization. Sincerely yours, Antony Lin, MD Founder and Program Director Sunshine Tennis Foundation, NPO located in SCAL Tax ID- 47-1091227
