Booked by 1 family in South Pasadena, CA

Hi! I’m Vitória, and I have over 7 years of experience supporting families throughout Los Angeles as a nanny, household assistant, and personal organizer. I’ve cared for children from 3 months to 13 years old, with most of my experience being with families of three children between the ages of 2 and 9. My responsibilities have included school pick ups and drop offs, meal preparation, daily routines, activities, homework support, and creating a calm, organized home environment. Beyond childcare, I’ve also supported families with household management, running errands and organizing spaces. I’m currently looking for part time nanny or house assistant opportunities while I transition career and continue growing my personal organizing/personal assistant business. I especially enjoy helping families through seasons of change whether you’re relocating, searching for the right long term nanny, or simply need an extra set of hands during a busy chapter. I also love supporting first time moms as they settle into parenthood by creating thoughtful systems, routines, and an organized home that helps their new lifestyle feel a little more manageable. I’m warm, dependable, proactive, and truly enjoy making life easier for the families I work with. I look forward to connecting with you!

Constanza $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Constanza. I am a responsible, patient, and caring person who really enjoys spending time with children 😊 I have experience with babies and young kids since I was 15 years old because my younger sister was born when I was a teenager, so I helped take care of her a lot. This gave me my first experience with babies and taught me how to be attentive and loving with children. Currently, I take care of an 11-month-old baby and an almost 3-year-old boy for about 8 hours a day. I have known them for almost a year, so I am very familiar with their routines and needs. I help with feeding, playing, keeping them safe, and making sure they have a fun and positive day. I really enjoy doing activities with kids like playing, reading stories, going for walks, and helping them learn new things. I always try to create a safe, fun, and caring environment where children feel comfortable and happy

Sydney $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Sydney, a recent architecture graduate from USC, and I’m excited to offer childcare, pet care, and household help. I’ve been caring for children since I was 14 and have four years of experience as a summer nanny for two elementary school-aged kids. My responsibilities included picking them up from camp, preparing meals, doing crafts, and keeping them engaged and entertained throughout the day. In addition to babysitting, I’ve coached a young girls’ kickball team, which helped me develop patience, leadership, and a playful spirit that kids respond to. I haven’t worked with newborns or infants, but I’m comfortable and confident working with toddlers and school-age children. I also offer household assistant services like cooking, cleaning, and running errands—whatever helps your family run more smoothly! I grew up with both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable caring for furry family members too. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving them some love and attention, I’m happy to help. Looking forward to connecting!
