A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Carla! I’m a full-time student at CSUN and an LAUSD employee, currently working as an educational aide and tutor at Sherman Oaks CES with students in grades 6-12. I’ve been babysitting for two primary families over the past few months and am excited to branch out and work with new families.

As a sitter, I am dedicated, reliable, and enjoy preparing engaging, hands-on activities, including art projects and creative games. I prioritize interactive play over screen time and would be a great fit if you’re a parent who values routine or is looking for a responsible sitter for a date night out.

I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

As an AVID tutor at an LAUSD school, I have spent the past year supporting students in grades 6-12 by helping them build essential academic and organizational skills. My role involves guiding students through critical thinking exercises, promoting collaboration, and encouraging effective study habits to prepare them for future success. To work in this capacity, I underwent fingerprinting, a thorough background check, and LAUSD processing to ensure a safe and supportive environment for students. This experience has strengthened my skills in patience, communication, and mentorship, all of which I bring to my work with children.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love engaging children in a variety of fun, creative, and hands-on activities that encourage their imagination and problem-solving skills. Watercolor painting and drawing are favorites, as they allow kids to express themselves artistically while experimenting with color and technique. I also enjoy organizing scavenger hunts, which get kids moving and working together to solve clues—perfect for building teamwork and observation skills. Board games are another go-to activity, offering a blend of learning and entertainment that can help kids develop critical thinking, strategy, and good sportsmanship. These activities provide a screen-free way for kids to learn, laugh, and explore their creativity.

The most important part about being a nanny...

the most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and valued. Building trust with both the kids and their parents is essential; it allows children to open up, try new things, and grow confidently under my care. I believe in actively engaging with children through hands-on activities, creative projects, and interactive play, which not only encourages their development but also helps form a meaningful connection. Being consistent, reliable, and fully present with the children is key to making a positive impact in their lives.
