Hey! My name is Khate. I'm 34 years old. I recently decided to go back to school and I’m currently studying to become an Occupational Therapy Assistant. I have years of experience babysitting and full-time nannying. I’ve seen many of the kids I’ve watch grow up to be such lovely little human beings. It’s always been in my nature to take care of people. I love working with kids and help them build confidence as they grow up. My hobbies are listening and playing musical instruments like piano and guitar, drawing, singing, basically everything that has to do with arts! I love getting crafty and creative. I like going on hikes and discovering new coffee shops. I also have a background in Filmmaking and Photography so I like to capture little, beautiful moments.

Hi, my name is Ashley! I have experience working as a Montessori Assistant Teacher, where I supported children’s learning and development in a nurturing classroom environment. I assisted with educational activities, outdoor play, daily routines, and helped maintain a safe, organized, and positive space for children to thrive. In addition to my classroom experience, I have worked as a babysitter for families whose parents traveled for work or vacations, providing dependable and attentive care. Through these experiences, I have developed strong childcare skills, including creating engaging activities, supporting children’s emotional well-being, and ensuring their safety at all times. I am patient, responsible, caring, and passionate about helping children learn, grow, and build confidence. I enjoy creating meaningful connections with children and providing families with trustworthy and compassionate care.

Hello, I'm Kyla! I love the outdoors, art making of all kinds, and doing puzzles. My degree from NYU is in Early Childhood Education and Theater, combining my passion for theater with my knack for working with young people. I am also a trained and skilled private chef with a specialty in whole-ingredient, low-waste cooking, and experience working with a variety of specialized diets. I've spent the last 3 years as a combination private chef and teacher in a preschool for children aged 2-5. Multitasking in engaging conversations while creating nutritious and filling meals for 3 dozen toddlers everyday is a joyful juggling act! I love the magic and imagination of early childhood, and I thrive in the many ways it inspires me to improvise. For 18 months during the COVID lockdown, I ran a special "Kyla Camp" engaging 8 elementary students in daily activities and tutoring, to provide stability and crucial social-emotional development. Developing relationships with children and their families over time and working as part of their team, within their village, is deeply meaningful work. I am a play-based educator, and subscribe to elements of both RIE and Montessori style teaching. My instincts are to first observe behavior as communication of a need, to asses how that need can be met, and provide gentle redirection to allow a child-led exploration of the world. My experience as a private nanny is with children from 12 weeks to 10 years, and these principles have served me with children of all ages. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, I enjoy spending time outdoors at the beach or camping in the mountains, so Southern California is a paradise to me. I love taking walks with my dog Gayle, who also enjoys the company of children.

Hi families! I’m a kind, loving nanny with experience caring for children of all ages and all personalities from newborns to school aged kids. I also do have quite a bit of special needs experience as well. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where kids can thrive, learn, and feel supported. Whether it’s tummy time, arts and crafts, homework help, or just making after school snacks, I show up with patience, creativity, and a calm, reliable presence. I love to cook and bake so meal prep is no problem for me. I'm also comfortable with some housekeeping. Open communication and being in sync with parents is vital to me. If you're looking for someone warm, dependable, and ready to jump in where needed, I'd love to chat and see if we’re a good match!
