Find nannies in Sherman Oaks, CA

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.

I’ve worked with children since I was 18. I have a daycare underneath my house that I still work at from time to time because it is so convenient and I love watching the kids get older! I met most of them when they were two and helped potty train, prepare meals and learning activities. I started working at lausd after school programs with mainly 3rd -5th graders. Assisting with homework, snack, recreation and arts activities . I am now a manager at a self defense and training gym. I have open availability on Sundays and Mondays and flexible through the week. I would love to help out wherever I can. Cpr and first aid certified .

Empathy meets experience — I’m a creative, compassionate caregiver with 7+ years working with kids in home, school, and therapeutic settings. Currently an after school teacher, bring calm, connection, and play to every moment. I’m trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and skilled at emotional regulation, routines, and sensory-friendly fun. Whether it’s homework help, bedtime, or big feelings, I show up with heart, structure, and joy.

Parents who have entrusted me to care for their children, pets, homes have said that I have a natural ability to anticipate needs, stay calm under pressure, and create a safe, positive environment. I'm responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. As an actor and creative person, I love engaging kids through imaginative play, reading, arts and crafts, games, and outdoor activities. I'm also happy to help with homework, meal preparation, school pickups, bedtime routines, and light household tasks. My goal is to make children feel supported, safe, and encouraged while giving parents confidence that everything is being handled with care and attention. I am literally the go-to for random unanticipated scenarios. Forgot your bridesmaids dress in you car at the flyaway and need someone to go to your house, grab the key, find the car in the flyaway parking lot, grab the dress, drive to LAX, and hand it over to you? I’m your girl. Yes, that’s a true story and she made her flight! I was the hero of that wedding and I didn’t even know the bride or groom. I’m able to quickly assess what a situation needs to ensure a calm and safe environment for children. I’ve handled bed times for double date nights when the couples would be expected home late. One of their daughters (6) was having trouble sleeping. I checked in on her every 15 minutes after she went to bed and she’d be awake, but she told me she lies awake for a long time before actually being able to sleep. So I asked her to close her eyes and travel in her mind to a beach. She can hear her parents laughing in the background, her sister playing in the sand, she herself is lying down on the beach. The sound of the ocean is blurring all other conversation, the wind is singing through the air, birds can be heard faintly… I saw her pupils picturing everything through her closed eyelids when I first started the exercises, but the movement eventually slowed down to a stop and she was fast asleep. That’s probably the best off the cuff success story I have. Anyway, I hope to hear from you! Thank you for your consideration!

My name is Janice and I am a California native with over 20 years of experience as a professional nanny. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Education. I am CPR/First Aid and Trustline certified. I have worked with children of all ages- from newborn to adolescents-including children with special needs. I strive to provide nurturing, intentional care that supports each child’s developmental needs. My approach is grounded in empathy, consistency, and mutual respect. I believe in talking with children, not at them, and I support emotional regulation and resilience through calm, reflective interactions. I have worked as a tutor, and have created and implemented individualized home programs. I have homeschooled children while traveling, adapting curriculum to support learning on the go. I have traveled extensively with families both domestically and internationally. I am able to bring structure, flexibility, and a grounding presence while traveling and at home. I believe being a nanny is not just about childcare—it is about building strong, lasting relationships, becoming a trusted partner to parents, and supporting children through every stage of their growth. I have hands-on experience in senior care through the time I spent caring for my own aging mother while she underwent treatment for cancer. During this period, I regularly accompanied her to medical appointments, communicated with her doctors, and kept our family informed of all important updates. I, also, helped manage her day-to-day needs, including preparing meals and medications, running errands, and maintaining her three-bedroom home. This experience gave me a deep understanding of the physical and emotional support that seniors often require. I have experience with pet care and house sitting, regularly working with several families to care for their cats and dogs while they are away. I take care of all essential tasks, including feeding, playtime, outdoor walks/dog park time, and cleaning up after the pets to ensure they are happy and well looked after in their owners’ absence. Personally, I’ve had cats for over 16 years and have had 2 snakes, which has made me confident and comfortable around a wide range of animals. I am reliable and attentive, and this approach helps pet owners feel at ease knowing their homes and beloved pets are in capable hands.
