Hi, My Name is Linda and I was a California licensed infant/toddler and pre-school teacher who worked at Little Tree Preschool, Holy Family, Bright Horizons and Potrero Kids. I have also worked as a tutor with the Jewish Coalition for Literacy and the Boys and Girls Club of San Francisco. Due to a reduction in Government funding I was just laid off from my four-year employment with the non-profit On Lok as a fundraising asst. raising money to help low income seniors and disabled live independent lives with access to good medical care. However, I love children so I continue to babysit in the evenings. I have many years experience working with children of all ages. I am lucky that I continue to sit for families that I've had for many years as well as sitting for new families. I am fairly fluent in Spanish and know a bit of ASL. I love dogs but can sometimes be allergic to please let me know if you have a dog as I can take some medicine before coming. I can provide references if needed. I am also available for interviews in person or via the phone. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and I promise all calls will be returned. Thank you.

Nice to meet you! I’m Kate, a 37 year old career nanny who moved from Chicago to LA in 2021 for a jet-setting/bi-coastal, travel heavy nanny position, and once the position ended, I decided to stay out here permanently. I live in Orange County with my girlfriend, and work M-Th, 7a-7p, in Studio City. My previous position was Jan ‘23- Nov ‘24. My background has always been in early childhood, and majored in early childhood education in college. I have years of experience with all age ranges and backgrounds: from kids who thrive in group settings to kids that do best with individualized, 1:1 care to kids who are neurodivergent. My first and top priority is the safety and wellbeing. Second is play, exploration, imagination, creativity, and seeing kids explore based on what they are into and things they find interesting. Third is, in my day-to-day, I take a child-centered approach. Including, but not limited to: time outside, walks, going to playgrounds, and finding activities within the home that the kids enjoy. My experience includes: working as a in-home support worker with neurodivergent kids, have worked at 3 early childhood centers (both as an assistant teacher and lead teacher); and all my experience has been from newborn to school age. In my free time: I love checking out new restaurants, adventuring the outdoors with my girlfriend, finding new trails to hike on AllTrails, the beach, and weekend trips

**Not available from Jan 17- Feb 7, 2026** Please make sure to read before booking: Hello, My name is Maria and I'm 70 years old. Yes, I understand than that's older than most nannies on here but I'm still very active and I love kids. I've been babysitting since I was young, being that I'm the oldest of seven siblings. Most of them see me as a mother figure now. I have my own kids, or should I say adults now, who are 34 and 32 years old. So I pretty much know how to raise children. I have nannied for couple families (ages ranging from 4-14), my longest being seven years with the same family. I pretty much became part of their family. I would cook, clean, watch the dog, drive her to activities, drop her off and pick her up from school, etc. I've also nannied triplets, so I'm pretty comfortable with that too. I have a great driving record and a safe, reliable Prius C. * Because I am older now, I prefer jobs that do not include driving children* Although my english isn't that great, please have patience with me, I understand it perfectly. I'm also fluent in Spanish. The past couple years, I've been a caregiver for an older couple but I have decided I want to go back to nanning. I like having an impact on kids when they're young. I'm looking for occasional jobs right now. I look forward to meeting you and your child/children.

I am always excited to do some arts and crafts, visit the park, create fun games, and run off some energy. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Hope to see you soon!
