Hi, I'm Maria! I have 10+ years of experience working with children, starting with family and growing through trusted referrals. I'm warm, patient, and reliable, and I love keeping kids engaged through crafts, outdoor play, reading, and creative activities while maintaining structure with routines like meals, homework, and bedtime. I'm a UCLA graduate and have worked as a behavioral technician with children on the autism spectrum, which has made me adaptable, attentive, and supportive of each child's unique needs. I'm comfortable with school drop-offs/pick-ups, light household tasks, and pets. I have reliable transportation and always prioritize safety, communication, and creating a positive environment for both kids and parents. I am CPR CERTIFIED.
I’m a caring, reliable, and energetic caregiver with experience supporting children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers. I’ve taken care of up to three toddlers at the same time for several days, and I’m very comfortable managing different personalities and needs at once. Coming from a large family full of little ones, I’ve spent years helping raise and care for children in all stages, which has given me patience, confidence, and a natural ability to connect with kids quickly. I have a sweet-hearted and positive nature, and I always make it a priority to create a warm, safe, and joyful environment. I love engaging with children through singing, reading, imaginative play, and outdoor activities that keep them active and entertained. I enjoy being hands-on, present, and involved—never just supervising from the sidelines. Whether it’s helping a toddler explore their creativity, keeping up with energetic kids, or offering calm support to a newborn, I adapt easily to what each child needs. I’m also comfortable helping with cooking and meal prep, and I’m happy to support families with simple household routines that make their day a little easier. One of my favorite parts of caregiving is teaching through fun moments, and I can introduce Spanish naturally into play, songs, and conversation so children learn in a way that feels exciting and easy. Families describe me as dependable, kind, flexible, and someone who truly cares. I bring a great blend of patience, playfulness, and responsibility, and I take pride in creating an environment where children feel valued, supported, and happy. I’m committed to showing up with a great attitude, treating every child as if they were my own family, and making sure parents feel confident and at ease while their little ones are with me. I am open to long-term arrangements with one family and would love to build a consistent relationship where I can support your child’s growth over time. My best availability is all day on weekends and after 4 PM on Wednesdays. I’d love the opportunity to bring my experience, positive energy, and big-hearted care to your family.

I am a trained Early Childhood Educator from Switzerland with a professional diploma in childcare and early childhood development. I am fluent in both French and can speak English but still work on it. I have strong experience caring for children of different ages, supporting their emotional, social, and developmental needs in a safe and nurturing environment. I am used to working with routines, preparing meals, organizing activities, and creating a calm and structured space where children feel secure and happy. I am reliable, patient, and attentive, and I take my responsibility as a caregiver very seriously. Families can trust me to provide high-quality care, respect their home, and give their children the attention and care they deserve.
Hi! I'm Keeks, a patient, creative, and dependable caregiver based in Los Angeles with over four years of childcare experience working with children ages 1–16. My background includes full-time nannying for a toddler whose parents were both business owners with demanding schedules. I independently managed daily routines, nutrition, and nap schedules, transportation to pediatric appointments, and age-appropriate activities supporting early childhood development. I especially enjoyed introducing new experiences, encouraging language development and independence, and incorporating sensory play, outdoor exploration, and hands-on learning into everyday routines. I currently provide childcare for a queer co-parenting family, adapting to their unique household dynamic and evolving schedules. My responsibilities include school pickups and drop-offs, supporting daily routines, and planning activities that encourage creativity, curiosity, and social development. I've really enjoyed building a lasting relationship with the family and being someone they can consistently depend on. Alongside childcare, I work part-time as an artist's assistant. My background in the arts is something I love incorporating into childcare, from introducing children to different materials and artistic techniques to organizing hands-on projects that encourage experimentation, problem-solving, and self-expression. I also enjoy outdoor activities, exploring nature, and finding engaging alternatives to screen time. I believe children benefit from a healthy balance of structure, independence, play, and opportunities to explore their interests. I understand how much trust goes into welcoming someone into your home and caring for your children. My approach is warm, attentive, and adaptable, with an emphasis on creating a safe, supportive environment where children feel comfortable expressing themselves and parents feel confident in the care they're receiving. I value clear communication, respecting each family's parenting style, and being proactive about the little things that help a household run smoothly. I'm currently looking to transition into a more full-time nannying position and would love to build a long-term relationship with a welcoming, inclusive family that values thoughtful caregiving, communication, and individuality!
