A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Hafdís. I’ve been caring for children since I was about 10 years old, starting with babysitting in my community and naturally growing into childcare as a lifelong part of who I am.

When I was 19, I moved from Iceland to Los Angeles to work as a live-in nanny / au pair for a year, which deepened my experience in structured, full-time childcare and adapting to different family dynamics and routines.

Since then, I’ve worked in kindergartens, supported families in both short-term and long-term childcare roles, and I am also a professional doula, which has given me additional hands-on experience with newborn care, infant support, and emotional presence during early development stages.

I’ve spent most of my adult life working closely with children of all ages, and I bring a calm, attentive, and reliable presence into every home I work in. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children feel secure and understood.

Annabelle M. - Seeking Work in Huntington Beach

Full-Time Nanny Available in Huntington Beach, CA: Annabelle M.

Being around kids is something I’ve loved my whole life and has always been a big part of who I am. I grew up in a family where both my mom and grandma were teachers, and my mom owned a preschool, so I spent a lot of time helping in the classroom while growing up.

I’ve been babysitting for the past 7 years and have experience caring for children from newborns to age 8. I’ve also worked as a fill-in nanny for a family my sister nannied for, helping maintain routines and provide dependable care when needed.

Coming from a large family has given me experience with kids of all ages, and recently I’ve also helped care for my newborn niece. Through these experiences, I’ve learned patience, responsibility, flexibility, and the importance of creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children. I love being someone kids feel comfortable and excited to be around.
