Hello families! My name is Christina, and caring for children has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a family daycare, I was surrounded by the joy and energy of little ones, which inspired me to dedicate my life to early childhood education. With over 15 years of hands-on experience working in our family daycare, I’ve nurtured children of all ages, creating a loving and safe environment where they can learn and grow. I earned my Teacher’s Associate Certificate from UCLA to further my knowledge and skills, and I am currently an infant teacher at a preschool. I truly believe that every child deserves patience, warmth, and encouragement to thrive. My goal is to support families by providing the highest level of care, ensuring that both children and parents feel safe, valued, and supported. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your little ones and be a part of their early learning journey!
I am a dependable, compassionate, and patient caregiver with extensive experience supporting children and families. As an employee of LAUSD, I have been thoroughly vetted through government background checks and professional screening requirements. I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish, allowing me to communicate effectively with diverse families. My experience includes working with children of varying ages and needs, providing academic support, supervision, homework assistance, and emotional encouragement. Families appreciate my reliability, strong communication skills, organization, and commitment to creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. I am trustworthy, adaptable, and dedicated to providing high-quality care tailored to each family’s unique needs.
Hello! My name is Christine and I am 25 years old. I am a registered nurse and I occasionally babysit. I have six years of experience providing childcare for families with children ranging from 6 months to 15 years old. I’m known for being patient, calm, creative, and approachable. I truly enjoy engaging with kids through outdoor activities, board games, puzzles, and educational play. I’m also happy to assist with homework and light meal preparation. In addition to being CPR certified, I’m fluent in both English and Spanish. I’d love the opportunity to support your family! Feel free to message me on here. Hope to hear from you! Have a great day!
I’m a caring, reliable, and energetic caregiver with experience supporting children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers. I’ve taken care of up to three toddlers at the same time for several days, and I’m very comfortable managing different personalities and needs at once. Coming from a large family full of little ones, I’ve spent years helping raise and care for children in all stages, which has given me patience, confidence, and a natural ability to connect with kids quickly. I have a sweet-hearted and positive nature, and I always make it a priority to create a warm, safe, and joyful environment. I love engaging with children through singing, reading, imaginative play, and outdoor activities that keep them active and entertained. I enjoy being hands-on, present, and involved—never just supervising from the sidelines. Whether it’s helping a toddler explore their creativity, keeping up with energetic kids, or offering calm support to a newborn, I adapt easily to what each child needs. I’m also comfortable helping with cooking and meal prep, and I’m happy to support families with simple household routines that make their day a little easier. One of my favorite parts of caregiving is teaching through fun moments, and I can introduce Spanish naturally into play, songs, and conversation so children learn in a way that feels exciting and easy. Families describe me as dependable, kind, flexible, and someone who truly cares. I bring a great blend of patience, playfulness, and responsibility, and I take pride in creating an environment where children feel valued, supported, and happy. I’m committed to showing up with a great attitude, treating every child as if they were my own family, and making sure parents feel confident and at ease while their little ones are with me. I am open to long-term arrangements with one family and would love to build a consistent relationship where I can support your child’s growth over time. My best availability is all day on weekends and after 4 PM on Wednesdays. I’d love the opportunity to bring my experience, positive energy, and big-hearted care to your family.
