Nanny Ana

Los Angeles, CA

4 years experience

A little bit about me

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!

"She was an amazing nanny with my daughter. My daughter loves her so so much and she was always on time and always on point. She would teach my daughter school stuff. She take her to the park. She did an amazing job."

A little bit about me

***Looking for a long term, full time position as well as date night***
Fun, engaging, and child centered nanny looking for awesome kiddos to spend my days with. I enjoy littles of all ages where we can read books, sing songs, play games, and go for walks. I love to cook and bake with my kiddos too! I have 18 years of public school teaching experience, 7+ years of tutoring, and 10 years of nannying Kiddos of all ages. If I had to choose a favorite age group it would be very difficult but I’d say 6 Mo- 4 years because they change and grow so much during this time. I love being a part of their development! I also have experience with teaching littles how to swim, learn the basics of soccer, and how to ice skate. Academically, within my job as a nanny I have taught the curriculum for preschool, TK, and Kinder preparing my littles for the traditional classroom. I’m not just a paid nanny and I will treat and love on your children as if they were my own.

"Ms. Stephenie was our family nanny supporting us through the Covid era. She cared for our 1 yr old daughter and 4 yr old son. I worked from home and was able to witness firsthand her love for our children. She took special care of each of them. She would dress our daughter in cute outfits, spend quality time talking with her, reading to her, and taking her out on daily walks around the neighborhood. She even taught preschool lessons to our son and enriched his daily activities to challenge his brain and provide him exercise while also shaping his social skills. She liked to cook with the kids and started other traditions like singing “you are my sunshine” and making microwave popcorn. She was always patient, loving and firm with her expectations which aligned with our parenting style. Our kids loved her and we knew she’d always be special to our family. She remains at the top of our list of date night babysitters to this day."

A little bit about me

I have cared for children as young as five days old, up to 12 years old.

I'm a fully qualified preschool teacher. I was at my last preschool for four years and I'm ready to go back to my dream job, as a nanny.

I am a British national, born in Toronto raised in London, UK. I've been living in America for 20 years. I'm now a USA citizen. I have a degree in Business Management from the University of Surrey, UK.

I have traveled to 42 countries and visited 24 states. I have been a professional nanny for the last 20 years. I am a fully qualified swimming, kids yoga, and sailing instructor.

I have worked for multiple fortune one hundred CEO's of major corporations like Coca-Cola, McKinsey's and Company. I've cared for the governor of Nigeria 3-month-old twins for six months before they moved to Switzerland.

I enjoy pickle ball, camping, traveling, snowboarding and hiking. I have excellent referrals on request.

"It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Vanessa. She worked full-time with our family from April 2025 through September 2026, caring for our two children, who were 5 months and 6 years old when she started with us. Vanessa is incredibly dependable, trustworthy, patient, caring, and loving. From the beginning, I felt completely comfortable leaving my children in her care, which as a parent is invaluable. She developed such a special bond with both of our children and truly became part of our family. She also traveled with us, and we always trusted her completely with our children, both at home and away. Our time with Vanessa only came to an end because our childcare needs changed as our children transitioned into preschool and school. I always joke that I would have kept her until they went to college if I could! We absolutely love Vanessa and cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her."
