Hi I’m Lena. I’ll take great care of your children! As a mom to a teen daughter and many, many years of child care and nannying experience, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from newborns to teenagers. I understand from experience how important it is to find someone you can truly trust, and I always want to make sure your children feel safe, happy, and engaged while in my care. Whether it’s playing games, reading, doing crafts, or just having fun by letting them be kids, I love creating a nurturing environment. I’m very reliable, patient, and will treat your children as if they were my own, (probably better actually 😁) I also can run errands do house cleaning and cooking. Looking forward to caring for your precious family.

Lena was so great and easy to work and communicate with! Our 15 month old really enjoyed their time together

Booked by 5 families in National City, CA

I am a caring and reliable individual looking to help out families when I am available. My primary experience is with infants and toddlers but, I have babysat/nannied for ages 2 mos-16 yrs. I graduated from the University of San Diego with a BA in Behavioral Neuroscience and then spent most of 2022 traveling abroad. I love animals and enjoy going for walks, spending time at the beach, traveling, and caring for children! :)

We’ve hired Brennan twice now to watch our 3.5 year old and our 1.5 year old, and she’s been kind, dependable, and professional! She jumps right in as soon as she arrives, maintains routines, and asks all the right questions! Our 1.5 year old has separation anxiety, but she felt comfortable in Brennan’s very capable hands! Highly recommend!

I'm a dependable and caring animal lover who enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm responsible, attentive to detail, and always strive to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable care and regular updates.

My name is Anna Teresa. I am a 22 year old female. I have my CPR and first aid training. I always enjoy meeting new personalities, whether it's children, seniors, or pets. I am very patient and try my best to prioritize whoever I am watching's safety. I have worked with babies 7 months-11 years old, but I am open to taking care of a different range of ages. I currently work with adults that are on the spectrum Monday-Friday from 8am-3:30pm but I am available during the evenings and weekends! For animals, I have always grown up with animals in my home. From fish, to hamsters, dogs, and even a chinchilla. I also have experience taking care of cats.

We had a wonderful experience with Anna caring for our dog for over a week. Our dog took to her immediately, which is unusual. She sent us lots of photos while we were away and you could tell that our pup was happy. We have already booked her again. Thanks, Anna!!!
