Hi! I’m Michelle, owner of Mama’s Little Helper. I’m a reliable, patient caregiver with experience supporting kids, seniors, and busy households. I’m calm under pressure, great with routines, and I love helping families feel organized, safe, and cared for.
BACKGROUND: Hi there, my name is Brooke! I recently moved to Los Angeles full time after getting engaged and I work part time as a Public Health Consultant. Now that I am settled, I am looking to get back into sitting because I miss being around kiddos! I also currently provide part time care for my grandfather who has dementia. EXPERIENCE: I have extensive experience being a nanny and sitter in San Diego, CA. I worked as a nanny to get myself through my undergrad and masters degrees. I have a bachelors degree in Kinesiology and a Masters in Public Health. I worked with kiddos who had developmental disabilities as well as those who did not. I worked with several families over the course of about 5 years and am happy to provide a reference if needed. PERSONAILITY TRAITS: I thoroughly enjoy playing, exploring, crafting, promoting healthy behaviors, and getting to know the kiddos and families I work with. I do not typically allow any screens when I am around children unless that is what you prefer. I love being outdoors and exercising so I enjoy engaging kiddos in fun activities outside that get them moving. I am excited to possibly work with your family!
“Brooke is such a warm, kind, loving, responsible person; I can't say enough good things about her! She worked with our family for 5 years babysitting and helping out our family. My three daughters absolutely loved her, and they respected her too, which was very important to me. She offered a great balance between fun and structure for my girls, and didn't let them run amok while I was away. You don't want to leave your kids with a babysitter where anything goes and the house is a disaster when you return home. When you work with Brooke, you can trust that it'll be a great experience for you and your kids.”
Hi! My name is Emma, and I am currently a nursing student at CSUCI who enjoys working with children and helping others. I offer both child care and pet care services and am dedicated to providing dependable, compassionate care. I have been babysitting toddlers and children since I was 15 years old and have experience caring for kids of various ages. I am happy to assist with playtime, homework, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, and other daily activities. I also provide attentive pet care, including feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship. I understand the importance of safety, reliability, and clear communication, and I am committed to making sure both children, pets, and their families feel comfortable and supported. I look forward to helping your family!
Hi there! I'm studying psychology at UC Berkeley but am currently taking some time off. My experience in childcare comes from five years of working alongside my mom, who owns an at-home daycare, helping to look after both infants and toddlers throughout the workday. I adore working with kids and have been blessed to have been able to help care for such wonderful children for the past few years.
I have over 10 years experience caring for children infants through 10 years old. I prefer and specialize in infants and toddlers! I have a certificate in Child Development. In addition, I was a substitute teacher for at least 8 years and I have experience as an independent tutor in math and language arts. I have cared/worked within the school system ages pre-school to 8th grade. I am a very responsible, dependable, patient, caring, loving, friendly and hands on nanny. I treat my clients children with 150 percent of my abilities. The child's safety is of upmost importance along with their happiness! Children are like gold to me-precious! I am CPR/First Aid Certified. Working with children is my passion and I want to make a positive difference in their lives. I have excellent references, education and experience!
