Hi! My name is Ana Castillo. I have 4 years of experience working as a nanny! I have a 4 year old daughter of my own who I absolutely adore and I work so hard just for her but I also enjoy working with kids so it’s a very rewarding job getting to watch kiddos grow into incredible little beings! I’m very patient and creative which I find very important for developing minds and I’m very good on communicating and receiving feed back! I also do light housekeeping and meal preps. I’m available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and overnights!

"Diana worked with us and our almost two-year old and she was fantastic!! She safely drove Miles to and from daycare every day, prepared healthy food and fed him, changed diapers, bathed him, started working on potty training, introduced him to new foods, took him to the playground, and spoke to him in a way that we really think immensely expanded his vocabulary. She had such a natural way of communicating with him and explaining things to him that worked so well and is continuing to help him mature into a happy, healthy and communicative toddler! She was always extremely prompt, never late, and super flexible in terms of staying late whenever we needed her to. Additionally she was always willing to help with household tasks like folding laundry, taking out the garbage/recycling and light cleaning of dishes. I am happy to speak more with anyone who is interested in hiring Diana, as we'd love to help her find her next perfect nannying job!"

"We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Miss Amy as our daughters’ nanny. From the very beginning, she brought warmth, patience, and genuine care into our home, treating our girls as if they were her own. Miss Amy joined our family just before our youngest turned one and our middle turned four, and she quickly became an essential part of our lives.
She always kept the girls engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities, and handled everything from meals and baths to laundry and keeping things tidy with care and efficiency. Her communication was always clear and thoughtful, and her heart is truly one of the biggest we’ve ever known.
Even though our girls are now in school, we still love having Miss Amy care for them on weekends from time to time. They genuinely miss her and her family, which speaks volumes about the bond they share. We are so thankful for Miss Amy and can’t recommend her highly enough."

"As a parent, I have had the pleasure of witnessing Talia’s (Lia) remarkable qualities firsthand. Lia has been an invaluable part of our family, and I cannot speak highly enough of her dedication, compassion, and genuine love for children. Lia consistently demonstrates empathy and kindness towards our children. She is attuned to their emotional needs and ensures they feel safe and secure.
Our kids eagerly await her arrival because they know it’s time for adventure and play. Whether it’s imaginative games, outdoor activities, or creative crafts, Lia infuses joy and excitement into their days.
Her affectionate nature is evident in the way she interacts with the children. She reads bedtime stories, cuddles them when they’re upset, and provides a nurturing environment. It’s as if she has a magical connection with infants. Babies respond positively to her soothing presence.
Lia is reliable, punctual, respects our family values and consistently goes above and beyond."

"It’s my pleasure to recommend Jessica Ponce, who cared for our three children (ages 18 months, 3, and 5) with warmth, professionalism, and consistency. Jessica handled daily routines including preparing breakfast, packing lunches, and getting each child to their respective schools on time. She is bilingual in English and Spanish, which added a wonderful layer to our children’s learning and communication.
During school holidays and vacations, Jessica provided full-time care—planning thoughtful outings around Los Angeles and preparing all meals. She kept our kids engaged, safe, and happy with a mix of creative activities and outdoor adventures.
Jessica was also our trusted babysitter for date nights. She is incredibly reliable, punctual (never once called out), and responsible. Her calm demeanor and natural connection with children made her an invaluable part of our family.
We highly recommend Jessica to any family seeking a dependable and caring nanny."
