Child at Heart ♡ I have been caring for children since I was a young girl and it brings me such joy. Which is why I have done everything from babysitting/nanny to coaching a Special Olympics team, to teaching Art Therapy at the Ronald McDonald House, to teaching swimming, photography, and English to kids, in the US and abroad. I do have my certification for AED, Adult, Child, Infant CPR & AED Training, valid until 03/20/28 and a safe SUV for driving infants to teens. For me the joy is finding what excites each child - and then creating an opportunity for play and learning, whatever the age. Currently (and always!) I am writing a children's book series and want to spend more time with kids. All ages are a fun and creative exploration for me too - always working to find new ways to keep them safe, happy and curious! Teaching for me includes: being in nature, long walks outside, reading, writing, cooking, drawing, games, crafting or building robots, play, music, sport, meditation, kindness, ART, making videos, taking pictures, swimming, yoga, and so much more! Unique: I enjoy exposing young learners to new languages (even infants) including Chinese, Japanese and French. In addition, I do have a small service dog that kids love to play with, read to and cuddle with. She also loves giving hugs!

Hi families! I’m Marissa, a full-time nanny with 10 years of experience caring for children from infancy through middle school. I’m currently based in Marina del Rey and available to start immediately. I’m open to both part-time and full-time roles. I’m playful, creative, and routine-oriented. I love planning engaging days filled with park outings, library visits, crafts, and learning activities to support development. I also have experience working with neurodiverse children and providing homeschooling support. I enjoy adapting my approach to each child’s individual needs. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and comfortable with pets, driving, cooking, and light household tasks. I’ve worked in quite a few long-term nanny roles (including a four-year placement) and prioritize creating a safe, loving, and dependable environment where children can thrive. I’d love to connect with families looking for a reliable, experienced nanny who brings warmth and consistency to their home!

My name is Ana, and I am a caring, responsible grandmother of five wonderful school-aged grandchildren whom I have been actively caring for over the years. I hold a degree as a bilingual secretary, and while my professional background began in administrative work, my true passion has always been in helping others—especially through caregiving. With years of hands-on experience supporting and nurturing children, I bring patience, empathy, and strong organizational skills to every task. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, dependable, and attentive to individual needs. I am excited for the opportunity to provide warm, reliable care and companionship to those who may need extra support in their daily lives.
