A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Maria Fernanda Aragon Waters — a warm, reliable, and experienced nanny based in Los Angeles.
With over 9 years of experience caring for children from newborns to teens (including twins and children with special needs), I bring both heart and structure to every family I work with.
I’m known for creating fun, engaging routines that support each child’s development — from sensory play and nature walks to story time, dance parties, and bilingual activities (yes, I speak Spanish 🇲🇽).
I’m also proactive in supporting the household: I’m happy to help with light tidying, organizing, errands, or travel prep. My approach is always about being collaborative and thoughtful with the family’s rhythm and needs.
Currently, I’m looking to join a kind and communicative family long-term, where I can bring my creativity, calm energy, and years of experience.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Hannah, and I’m currently a graduate student studying Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University in the evenings. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and have always had a love for working with children.
I’ve been babysitting from a young age, helping with school pick-ups, arts and crafts, and other activities. During the pandemic, I spent a lot of time tutoring and working with children, further strengthening my experience in childcare.
I am also pet-friendly and have an English Cream Golden Retriever of my own who is very well-trained and loves to hang out wherever he’s allowed!
I’d love the opportunity to provide care for your family—feel free to reach out!

A little bit about me
I am a mom of 2 dogs. I hope to be blessed with the gift of marriage and children one day. For now, I work on myself daily to make sure I polish myself into an individual that can raise independent and emotionally healthy kids. I know what respect looks like and how to share the best of myself. I believe in learning from all my mistakes, making peace with the past, and offering my best version forward. I am creative, insightful, and very responsible. I like to think that I am a box full of surprises, in the best way possible.

A little bit about me
Hi, I'm Jai Rose! I am a Child of God. I am CPR and first aid certified, have been since I was 12 years old. I am okay with all animals. My family fostered children, so I have experience with children of varying backgrounds and language barriers. I have had experience in my church childrens care, learning centers, in my family's home and facilitated childcare. I have cared for children as young as three days old.
I love the outdoors, anything creative or art centered and good food. In my spare time, I read, write, enjoy the outdoors and attend creative events. I'd describe my personality as compassionate, outgoing, and joival. My skills include communication, creative thinking, patience and adaptability.
I love working with kids because, I enjoy seeing the impact and how my time with them aides in their growth. I'm looking for a position that feels like home, with my addition making me part of the family; my presence providing an ease to life of the child, and loved ones around.
