Hi families! I’m a bilingual educator with a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and a Bilingual Authorization in Spanish. I have several years of experience working with children from toddlers through elementary school as an Early Head Start teacher, student teacher, and classroom educator. I am patient, dependable, and caring, and I enjoy creating fun, safe, and engaging experiences for children. Whether it’s helping with homework, reading stories, playing games, or supporting daily routines, I strive to provide high-quality care that families can trust.

Bowen $22 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in caring for children and pets, and I genuinely enjoy helping families feel safe and supported. I’ve worked with kids of different ages, assisting with daily routines, playtime, homework, meals, and bedtime. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I always prioritize a child’s safety and well-being. I also have experience pet sitting for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, and providing plenty of affection and companionship. I understand how important it is to follow routines and respect each pet’s unique personality. I’m organized, reliable, and happy to help with light household tasks when needed. My goal is always to give families peace of mind knowing their kids and pets are in caring, capable hands.

Booked by 4 families in Valley Village, CA

I’m so happy to be a nanny! I’ve had the pleasure of caring for infants, toddlers, and older kids. My job involved supporting families with their children’s needs, such as feeding, helping them learn, and making sure they had fun with walks to the park or library, or even driving them to and from school. I speak both English and Spanish, and I’m CPR certified with a clean driving record. I have my own transportation with a clean driving record; else, I’m a non-smoker. I’m also quite flexible with my schedule and can work some weekends. Sorry I don’t have too many reviews, but I’ve been working with the same families for a while.

“Ana was great and flexible with my changing schedule. She was kind and communicative and went above and beyond to help out ”

I'm only looking for occasional jobs because I have kids myself! Available on short notice! I was born in Russia, then moved to Finland at a young age . I have traveled a lot and lived in many countries. I speak 3 languages: English, Russian and Finnish. Russian is my native language. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in International Sales and Marketing from Haaga-Helia University in Finland. I love babysitting, teaching children something new and exploring the world with them. P.S. Please call me Kate :)
