Booked by 47 families in Downey, CA

Hello, my name is Allyssa, and I am a current grad student at San Jose State University pursuing my dream of becoming a Speech Language Pathologist. I pride myself on being responsible, reliable, and full of energy, especially when it comes to working with children. Being the oldest of four, I have gained extensive experience caring for children of all ages. Back home in Orange County, I had the opportunity to work with up to four different families, ranging from ages 1-15 years old. Now, I am actively seeking part-time and one-time job opportunities that align well with my academic commitments. In addition to creating a joyful and engaging environment for kids, I can also handle meal preparation and provide homework assistance. On a personal note, I had the privilege of playing collegiate soccer, highlighting my dedication and teamwork skills. I am fully vaccinated and more than happy to share excellent references upon request. Looking forward to the chance to connect soon!

Serenity $25 per hour for 1 child

Child care: Hello! My name is Serenity and I have been working in childcare since I was 14. I am one of 48 cousins so for as long as I can remember, I have always been taking care of someone younger than myself. I have worked as a full time nanny to a family with an infant under 8 months. This included being home alone for 8+ hours and in charge of all care. I followed a strict sleep schedule and routine. Prepared bottles and purées. Reference available for contact. As well as done over night shifts to help with sleep training and regression. I have been called the “baby whisperer” by more than one. I believe with patients, a calm energy, and a strong routine, all infants can be sleep trained easily. I am also a high school and travel ball softball coach so my training in CPR/First Aide/Basic medical care is very extensive as it’s required for those positions. I am also fluent in ASL and studied child development at Golden West College. I enjoy art, sports, adventures, learning, and all things fun! Elderly care: I grew up living with my grandmother who had COPD. I was one of her main caregivers for the better half of 5 years. I helped schedule and monitor doctor’s visits. Kept her on a very strict schedule that followed her doctor’s instructions, administered medication, picked up medications, drove her anywhere her heart desired, and spent so many hours watching the cooking network. But always found every second so much fun. I worked as a patient services supervisor for a very reputable physical therapy company so I understand the details of American health insurance better than most. I also learned many fall prevention, basic mobility training, and mobility support throughout my years there. I have always been someone who loves to spend my time with the generations from before me. Before she passed, my great grandma, who lived in Apple Valley, and I would talk on the phone almost daily, spend hours writing letters back and forth because she felt it was a lost art, went on road trips with over 16 hour long drives. Just chatting and enjoying. I love old movies, TV shows, music and am happy to help with any needs to help the person in your life in any way I can. While also hopefully alleviating any stress from you any way I can.

Booked by 5 families in Downey, CA

I’m so happy to be a nanny! I’ve had the pleasure of caring for infants, toddlers, and older kids. My job involved supporting families with their children’s needs, such as feeding, helping them learn, and making sure they had fun with walks to the park or library, or even driving them to and from school. I speak both English and Spanish, and I’m CPR certified with a clean driving record. I have my own transportation with a clean driving record; else, I’m a non-smoker. I’m also quite flexible with my schedule and can work some weekends. Sorry I don’t have too many reviews, but I’ve been working with the same families for a while.

“Ana was great and flexible with my changing schedule. She was kind and communicative and went above and beyond to help out ”

Dynasty $21 per hour for 1 child

I’m currently in college studying English Literature and children development. I’ll be obtaining my teacher’s credentials. Not only am I going to school to teach and understand the development of a child, I’ve grown up being the youngest in a family of 13. I’ve babysat my sibling’s kids all the time, and it’s helped me a lot with my education. I grew up with 2 dogs and 1 cat, so I have a bit experience taking care of pets as well. A little about me, I love reading, writing poetry, crocheting and dancing! I’m very easy going and love talking and meeting new people. I’m also reliable ;) I hope to become a reoccurring nanny!
