A little bit about me

Hi families! My name is Ingrid and I’m looking for a nanny job! A little bit about me-I'm 23 and just graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a degree in Psychology. I was born and raised in Missoula, Montana in a tight knit family of 5. I swam competitively my whole life so I'm super comfortable in the water :) I have experience working with children of a variety of ages- After graduating from HS I volunteered for 1yr in an Americorps program working and teaching in a 3rd grade classroom in a school in NH. I also worked with children 4-13 after & before school. Summer of 2022 I was a full time nanny for a 2-year-old boy (45 hrs/wk) -I am comfortable with potty training, nap time, swim help, and tutoring. This past quarter in San Luis Obispo I interned at Monarch Hills Education, an outdoor enrichment program, where I worked with children 3-12. I have experience with neurodiversity, autism, adhd, and learning & behavioral issues. Also I love animals in case you have any pets!

The eldest of 5 children to a single mother, I've been looking after children since I was 3.

I now have almost 40 years of experience working with children from newborn to teen.
I am often referred to as a baby whisperer.

I have experience working with multiple children at once, the most at one time was when I was responsible for 60+ children on set.

I have experience with special needs and come with plenty of raving reviews from parents and children.

A little bit about me

Hi families! I’m Jasmin, originally from Germany, and I recently graduated from UCLA with a degree in Communication. I’ve been working with children for over 7 years, first as an au pair and later as a nanny here in LA. I especially love working with babies and toddlers and getting to be part of all their little milestones as they grow. I’m naturally warm, patient, and easygoing, and I love building close, trusting relationships with both the kids and their parents. I’m excited to find a lovely family to become part of!

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Jazmine Valtierra
I am patient and open to new opportunities, I love to help out when needed and will do my best to make the individual feel comfortable. I currently live with all age group of kids, I have a big family, the house gets one is 2 years old. There are 8 kids in my house, I’m the oldest from 2. I am 20, going to turn 21 soon. If I am available to take care of someone’s child, I will understand him/her, try to distinguish what they like or what they don’t like. It’s all about getting adjusted and having the patience with a child, children are open to things but we have to be aware that they are kids wanting to experience life, but with caution. I grew up with kids left and right, I am able to understand a child. That’s a brief way to describe myself in short words, I hope it’s interesting enough. Have a great day :)

A little bit about me

My name is Hanna Hoyt and I'm an alumni of the University of Minnesota. I am currently living in Santa Monica, CA. I'm 26 years old and graduated with a degree in psychology. I have always loved volunteering and working with kids and this led me to writing my senior capstone research paper on the importance of positive role models in a child's life, which further solidified that I wanted to work with kids. My first job out of college was working for the Salvation Army Child Development Center. At my job here I got the chance to work with fifteen students aged 3-5. I plan daily lessons for them in math, social studies, art, language, physical education and more. I have also done a lot of volunteering with kids of all ages at the Good Neighbor Center. This is a nonprofit that helps students complete their homework and school assignments. The past two years I have worked as a nanny for kids aged 4 months - 6 years old.
