Booked by 15 families in Gardena, CA

Hi I'm Sarah. I am a college graduate with professional work experience. I babysat in my teenage years for families in my neighborhood and some outside of my neighborhood who knew me. The majority of those families had young children & infants as they were growing their families. I also had grade school age children. I love playing with kids, making sure they are having fun and sometimes educational experiences. I love the outdoors and taking kids out to the park.

“Came on short notice and got along well with the kids, plus picked up in living room!”

I’m a calm, organized, and caring individual with a deep passion for learning. I firmly believe that kindness and understanding our emotions can truly make a difference in the world. As a nanny, I find joy in nurturing children’s growth and development while fostering an environment of warmth, fun, and learning. I was a RBT, working with individuals in the autism spectrum. Currently, I’m a OTD student, pursuing a career as a pediatric occupational therapist . I’ve taken specialized courses in human biology, psychology, and child development that have expanded my understanding of how children grow physically, emotionally, and cognitively. I’m excited to continue building on this knowledge while connecting with and engaging children in meaningful ways. I love taking children outdoors to explore parks and nature, helping them develop a sense of wonder and adventure. Watching kids learn, grow, and experience the world around them is incredibly rewarding. I’m happy to provide references from my previous nanny positions and look forward to getting to know your family. Let’s connect and chat about how I can contribute to your child’s development and happiness!

“Amanda took care of our daughter for 2 years and was the most incredible caregiver. She's very reliable, hardworking, and has a natural ability to connect with children. I highly recommend her!”

Also, as much as you need me I am there and I'm happy to be there for your kids and you. I love to cook from Breakfast, lunch, and dinner and I love to bake too.

Booked by 6 families in Gardena, CA

Hello, my name is Kylee, and I received my B. A. in Digital and Video Film Production from Maryount California University in Palos Verdes. I love and have so much fun interacting with children. They have a such a way of looking at the world and I try to always remember seeing the world through their eyes from time to time. My mom spent many years teaching dance and drama at an elementary school which I would help facilitate by watching and playing with the kids. I have babysat since I was 16 mostly between the ages of 5 months to 6 years old. I also was actively working in the nursery at my church since I was 12. Children are amazing and can teach as much as they need to learn. I would really enjoy any opportunity to continue to learn and work with the little one's to help parent's out. Another fun job I have is working as a princess, face painter, and balloon twister. It definitely keeps my imagination sharp which is helpful when it comes to play time with toddlers and elementary age children. My mom was a single parent so I know how hard it can be. If there is any way I can help alleviate some of that pressure I would be glad to offer my services.

“Oct 2025 Update: Kylee is great with our boys, now 7 and 3. She initially started with us when we had 1. She’s reliable, responsible, caring and very entertaining with our boys. Story time voices, games, songs, face painting, dancing-she does it all. Both are high functioning autistic so she’s experienced with special needs as well. I would recommend her again and again! (2019) Kylee was fantastic with our 7 month old. He wears a helmet for plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) so caring for him is a little more involved than your average baby. She fed, changed, and kept him entertained and safe. We’re happy to have her as our regular sitter. ”

Hi Parents! My name is Chyntia, pronounced Cynthia! I was a nanny for 3 years and a preschool teacher but now I currently work for a lemon law firm…drastic change I know! I have taken care of children from the ages of 3 months to 8years old. I am comfortable with bottle feedings and helping out with nighttime routines, while the parents go out and have a nice date night! I can also help pick up around the house while the little ones are sleeping. I love animals! I have a chihuahua terrier and treat him like my baby. He is definitely spoiled! I have experience with feeding, walking and giving them love ! I am comfortable with all size dogs and cats! Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have ! Hope to hear from you soon.
