A little bit about me
During high school I was employed at a Parks and Recreation Dept. I was to set up daily activities for the morning and evening children that attended. Ages ranged from 3 to 13-being active with up to 15 children at one time.
During college I was a nanny for a family who live in Rice, near St. Cloud, MN, for 2 younger boys-ages 4 and 9. I would go to their house 3 times per week and other days where I was needed. I did activities with them and was involved even outside of babysitting them, such as attending their yearly March of Dimes. After college I was a manager at Hollister (retail clothing store), but left and nannied an amazing 1-year-old little boy for one year in Fargo, ND. I then moved to California and was on-call 2-year-old girl in Santa Monica. In 2017 I nannied a 7-year-old girl in Marina Del Rey; I would pick her up from school and be there with her through the evening- homework, dinner, hang out, bedtime routine.

A little bit about me
I'm a former teacher and future therapist. I love working with children--out of all the jobs I've held, nannying is my favorite.
I love reading, cooking, listening to music, walking my dog, and playing outside. I can also pass a lot of time by talking.
I'm starting graduate school in mid-August. I will then have classes on Tuesday or Thursday. I will know that schedule in mid-July. Until then, I have full availability until the semester starts.

I am in my early 30's and newly moved to LA from Orange County less than a year ago. I had a 6-year career right out of college and am now exploring other, more flexible options--including being a nanny in LA! That is something I have always considered and am just now exploring!

"We needed a temporary nanny and after connecting with several nannies, we hired Francisca. Just from the initial communication she was professional and personable. It was lovely to find out she was even better on the job. She provided care for my four-month-old son but my two year old also felt instantly comfortable with her. My son was very well taken care of and Francisca was able to learn and adapt to our style quickly. I notice she is intuitive and attentive in her care for my son and the fact that she has an RN background and caregiving background comes through. Francisca will be a great help to any family and we recommend her very much."

"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!"
