A little bit about me
I am an unconventional nanny, having come back to this career decades after I first worked as a nanny. Growing up the first few years on a North Dakota farm gave me a natural work ethic, resilience, and a down-to-earth look at life. Following my bachelor’s degree, I lived in Connecticut working full-time as a live-in nanny, caring for three special-needs children on a busy six-day schedule. This experience taught me how to stay completely steady, calm, and organized under pressure. Later, I built a demanding corporate career where I excelled at communications, strategic planning, organization, and project management, even working for a Fortune 500 company. Choosing to return to private household care allowed me to bring those professional skills into a field I am truly passionate about, helping families thrive.

"It’s my pleasure to recommend Jessica Ponce, who cared for our three children (ages 18 months, 3, and 5) with warmth, professionalism, and consistency. Jessica handled daily routines including preparing breakfast, packing lunches, and getting each child to their respective schools on time. She is bilingual in English and Spanish, which added a wonderful layer to our children’s learning and communication.
During school holidays and vacations, Jessica provided full-time care—planning thoughtful outings around Los Angeles and preparing all meals. She kept our kids engaged, safe, and happy with a mix of creative activities and outdoor adventures.
Jessica was also our trusted babysitter for date nights. She is incredibly reliable, punctual (never once called out), and responsible. Her calm demeanor and natural connection with children made her an invaluable part of our family.
We highly recommend Jessica to any family seeking a dependable and caring nanny."

Hi! I'm a former entertainment industry worker looking to transition to a new career and in the meantime my extensive background in childcare had me interested in nanny lane. I am a graduate of USC who grew up in Encino so I know Los Angeles well and all kinds of kid-friendly outings / activities that my 4-year-old niece would definitely endorse! I'm absolutely happy to do household work, meal prep, etc. -- whatever makes parents' life easier! I've been nannying sometimes full-time and otherwise part-time on/off since I was in high school and have babysat for kids from infancy to tween-hood. I also have experience hanging out with special needs kids. References available upon request. Thanks for reading!

A little bit about me
I am a currently professional caregiver registered with Trust line background check, with 8+ years in professional childcare, experience in classroom settings ages 6months - 12 years, and 4 years experience in Pediatric medical assisting. I am also CPR certified. As a teachers assistant, I lead homework assistance, STEM crafts, and outdoor activities. I grew up hands-on and curious climbing trees, taking things apart, always asking how something worked and that instinct still shapes how I approach childcare today. I adapt easily and stay attentive to what’s actually needed in the moment. I see this work as a true partnership with parents finding the right rhythm and approach together, for your family specifically. I’m also glad to support the household more broadly, from meal preparation to organization to everyday upkeep, whatever helps things run smoothly. I’d welcome the chance to talk further and find out if we’re the right fit for each other.
