Hi, my name is Miesha. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management with a minor in Business Administration from San Francisco State University. I am a 5-star certified nanny with over seven years of experience caring for children from newborns to teens. I specialize in various types of care, including travel care, hotel care, amusement park care, occasional care, overnight care, and event care. Additionally, I am a newborn care specialist in training. I am the Client Services and Event Logistics Manager for Sunflower Nannies Staffing, where I train nannies on how to succeed in providing a variety of childcare services and match nannies with families to meet their unique needs. I am certified in First Aid, AED, and CPR for infants, children, and adults and am TrustLine certified. I offer flexible, open availability, and my rates vary depending on the child’s age, specific needs, and other factors. I love being a babysitter/nanny because of the meaningful connections I build with children. They remind me that the simple things in life can bring the greatest joy. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports, cooking and baking, spending time at the park, exploring new places, and traveling. You can find my personal business social media page on Facebook at The Village Auntie.

Hi, and thanks for stopping by! I have many years of experience working with high-net-worth and high-profile families in Los Angeles. I’m TrustLine registered and have been thoroughly vetted by some of LA’s top nanny agencies. I currently work as a full-time, rotational live-in nanny in Montecito on a three-weeks-on, three-weeks-off schedule. During my off weeks, I’m happy to support local families needing occasional help. My schedule is guaranteed through the end of the year. I look forward to connecting! (My rate is flexible depending on your location and number of children—feel free to message me to discuss.)

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. I responded back with a text message in 25 seconds of my booking. Also, I'm confident to watch your newborns and toddlers, and middle-schoolers and quickly to abducting to the schedule for your baby. For example for infants, feeding and making bottles, burping, rocking, and changing diaper before and after bottle and nap time, changing clothes if needed. ***I'm CPR and First Aid certified and can provide my card at all times*** ***I am Postpartum dual, Ready to be there for you and your family.*** Note hourly rate are different *** *** Any requests to work on holidays hourly rate will be double *** *** I'm taking COVID very seriously and following CDC guidelines & requirements to stay safe*** **Note; If shift(s) or set schedule ends earlier at parents request, compensation will be for the regular set hours & schedule and paid in full.** I look forward hearing from you soon and working with you.

Hello, my name is Sherrie. I recently graduated from Howard University and have returned home to Los Angeles, California. I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 years old and have a passion for working with children. I create a fun and safe environment for them while ensuring they adhere to their parents’ rules. I’m available mostly on Thursdays and Fridays, but if you request an interview early enough, I can adjust my schedule. If you’d like to schedule an interview, I’m available via Zoom. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. P.S. I also have experience in pet sitting and household services.
