Catherine $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Cat, a college-educated, reliable nanny with 3 years of professional experience. I'm 26 and have worked with children ages 2–12, supporting families throughout my college years and beyond. My time as a nanny sparked a genuine passion for childcare that continues to this day. I am looking for part-time or one-off nanny opportunities, as I currently work full-time in the beauty marketing industry. I love planning fun, enriching activities, and I’m great with pets, music, reading, and movie time. I have my own reliable transportation and always show up on time, ready to help. If my previous families were to describe me, they'd probably say I am trustworthy, caring, and responsible. I’d love to support your family however I can!

Claire $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’ve been a nanny for many wonderful families for 8 years now. I have primarily worked with children under 5 but have experience with all ages. I’m extremely passionate about children learning through play and exploration with limited screen time. This can be anything from imagination games to more structured academic play. I have a degree in theater from the Liverpool Institute for performing arts where I learned a great appreciation for a nice walk doing wonders for the soul. I am currently with a family with two boys three days out of the week but hoping to fill in a few more hours. I am CPR certified with a clean driving record.

Jacqueline V 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jacqueline, but you can call me Jackie or Jax. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I consider it my backyard and love exploring its ever-changing face. I have been a mother's helper since I was 12, and at 16, I had the honor of babysitting and nannying alone. People may call me a people pleaser, but I truly enjoy being part of the village and helping people and animals, any which way. It has always been fulfilling to me. Life gets super busy, so an extra helping hand doesn't hurt anyone. I am currently at Santa Monica College pursuing a nursing degree. Thanks for taking the time to read about me, and I look forward to working with you.

“Jax has been an incredible person to have around my son. She has such positive energy and is so creative with activities. I would recommend her to any friend or stranger. She is always reliable and easy to communicate with. In addition, she is always great around our dog. My son has so much fun with her and she really encourages him to be independent and try things.”
