A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Larissa. I'm a college student with flexible online classes who is passionate about helping children grow and develop, which led me to become a childcare provider. With over five years of experience, I'm known for my patience and calm demeanor, making me a friendly face that children feel comfortable approaching. I also have experience with Montessori style caregiving, special needs, trauma and based parenting! Whether it's outdoor games or educational activities, I enjoy engaging with children in a variety of ways. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular updates on their child's day and addressing any concerns they may have. By following the parents' lead on rules, I ensure a consistent and nurturing environment for the children in my care. With availability to care for up to two children, I'm comfortable working with children of various ages, from infants to preteens. I'm excited about the opportunity to make a positive impact on your family!

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Tammy Andrea Henderson. I have over 8 years of experience working as a professional nanny, caring for children of all ages from infants to school-aged. I hold an Associate of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education from Long Beach City College, which has given me a strong foundation in child development and teaching practices.
I believe in play-based, child-led learning inspired by Montessori and Reggio Emilia philosophies, and I love bringing creativity into my care through music, dance, art, and introducing Spanish language. I am fluent in English and Spanish, and I also use sign language to help support early communication.
Along with childcare, I can assist with meal preparation and light housekeeping to help keep the home running smoothly. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel nurtured and supported as they grow, learn, and thrive.

A little bit about me
Hello! I am an aspiring child development major with a passion for helping kids. I am patient, kind, and understanding. I was raised with gentle parenting and have a knack for getting on the same level as kids. Communication is one of my strongest values and the key to making everything work. I am currently in school (one day a week + homework) so I'm looking for a part-time position to accommodate that. I currently work in early childhood education with children ages 6months-5 years. I have experience babysitting my cousins and family friends, as well as tutoring + homework help. Lets chat!

A little bit about me
It must be so difficult to choose between all of these wonderful nanny candidates! Every family is different and it is so important to choose the right person for your children and yourself. I am a young, motivated hard worker who has volunteered in nurseries, preschools, and kindergarten classrooms ever since I was a teenager and absolutely thrives when I can help others create a safe, loving environment where children can grow into their own individual person while getting whatever help they need. I have been the nanny of infants and toddlers (ages 5 months - 4 years) but I have also worked with school age children. I adore helping children find their passions in various skills and activities. I’ve been an artist since birth and love planning arts and craft activities, but I also have so much fun in the outdoors! I find going on nature walks, hikes, or just cloud watching in a park is so important to human development. If I sound like the right nanny for you, let’s talk!

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Alicia. I’m new to the city and come from a small town where I babysat 2 amazing girls (10 and 14) and one boy (different family, 12) with autism. Babysitting is something I’ve grown to enjoy and I always love the children I work with, even if it takes time and patients. I enjoy lots of different hobby’s so I don’t mind staying in or being active and playing with the kids. I’m bilingual, speaking Spanish and English.

A little bit about me
I recently moved to Los Angeles from Fort Collins, Colorado. Living there the last 6 years have given me incredible opportunities while working with children. I held a role as a Registered Behavior Tehcnician for children with autism, as a 2nd grade paraprofessional and interventionist, and years as a Pre-K teacher. I also found time to babysit often as I grew relationships and rapport Not only am I always booked on the weekends, but I have 3+ year relationships with people I would call my own.
I value emotional regualtion, communication and autonomy when spending time with children. I also value catering to creativity and real life learning (as long as it is safe!) and staying off of screens!
On my free time I like journaling, going to the gym, scrapbooking, and really anything to stay active!
