Lily is dependable,  drama-free, honest, creative with art projects,
inventive, speaks fluent English, can teach your child French, drives a safe
car and is so conscientious that I always felt as if my daughter had a
personal bodyguard at all times..  She's truly the best.  We cherish her and

My daughters will soon start school full-time and our beloved nanny will
have to get a new part-time or full-time job. Patty has been with us for
over 3 years; she used to be a teacher at our oldest daughter's day care. We
liked her so much that we asked her to leave the day care center and work
for us full time. Being a child development expert myself, I was impressed
by Patty's experience with and knowledge of children. Besides being the
mother of 4 children (now grown-up), she owns a BA in Child Development from
Mexico and has worked in schools/preschools and day care centers there for
fifteen years. She recently came to the US following a divorce, and although
her oral English is a bit basic, she has been able to earn 12 units of Child
Development from Los Angeles Mission College and has worked in various San
Fernando Valley day care centers before we met her. Patty loves children:
she is the kind of person who cares for, plays, and interacts with them
because she ENJOYS it. When my daughters nap, she spends time creating new
activities for them. When they are sick, she stops by after work to see how
they are doing. And she constantly brings new toys, books and things to
stimulate them. Most importantly, she has given my daughters the gift of
bilingualism. I had a variety of people who worked for us with the goal of
teaching Spanish to my children and their methods were not effective. She
has never, never missed a day of work or refused to stay longer/come extra
days if I asked her to.  She has a car and can pick up your kids after
school (she is doing this with my daughters). Not to mention that she helps
with light house chores and leaves the house impeccable after she leaves.
She charges $ 12.00-14.00 depending on the location and number of children.
She would prefer to find work in the San Fernando Valley, including Burbank,
Glendale and adjacent areas. She is available starting from 06/15/09 but you
can meet and try her out before then.  Email her at p_tabares12 at hotmail.com
or me at smontan2 at calstatela.edu
AND
Under the employ of one's family, I would bring not only a professional
passion to my work, but also a personal one. Anyone who has worked as my
supervisor, my peer or my employee would confirm that I am very good with
children and an excellent employee. I have a free schedule and I am looking
to start right away. I recently graduated college in which I was working for
Americorps for a non profit called Jumpstart for four years. Here I taught
preschool and facilitated activities geared around literacy. I come from a
family of educators from the deans of admission to Harvard, to my father who
teaches elementary school! Currently I reside in Central Los Angeles (South
of Hancock Park) and am willing to commute. I have great references and will
provide all information per request. I am available week days, weeknights,
weekends and holidays. Ideally I would like to work up to 20 hours per week.
My rates are 15$ per hour (one kid), 17$(two kids) and 20$ (three kids).

Unfortunately due to the economy we can no longer afford our nanny who has

my 2 children since my son was two and my daughter was born. She is
extremely, responsible and reliable and you will be able to leave your

AND
Vanessa has been working as our weekend nanny (my husband and I often work
on the weekends) for over a year and a half, and she is extraordinary.  It
is clear that she adores our three children (ages 4, 2, and 6 months), and
she treats them with patience, warmth and joy.  She is sweet, confident and
capable, and I feel comfortable leaving her with all three of them at once
when I need to.  She is equally adept at taking care of an infant's needs
and a rambunctious four year old's desire for active play.  She sits down on
the floor with them and really plays, and is also able to discipline my
children when it is necessary.  One quality I love about Vanessa: she speaks
her mind, is honest and open in her communication.  She believes in
discussing openly any difficulties or problems, and listens and learns when
I ask her to do anything differently.  That honesty gives me a peace of mind
that is invaluable. Vanessa is equally able to take care of the kids on her
own, and to be there to help with whatever I need as well.  When I returned
from the hospital with my third child, she was as good at helping to take
care of my own needs as she was in taking care of the kids.  She is happy,
upbeat, positive, and a joy to have in my home.  So while I feel very
confident in her abilities to take care of the kids alone, I also enjoy any
time I have with her when we're both around. Vanessa's duties in our home
involve flexible hours on the weekends, which we plan to continue with her.
She has been very easy going about the flexibility of those hours.  While
she does not do major cleaning in our home, and while we both agree that her
primary job in our home is to attend to the kids, she does tidy up
(extremely well!) in the play room and wherever the kids spend time during
the day, as well as the kitchen, and she has offered to help wherever it
seems I need the help during the day.  I would recommend her highly! Please
feel free to contact me via email with any questions or concerns at
rabbicantorw at templejudea.com Or contact her directly: (818)433-5864
AND
I am a 29-year-old professional nanny.  I hold a Masters Degree in
Educational Counseling and a Bachelors in Psychology.  I am also CPR
certified.  I have TONS of experience with children from newborn to

looking to become part of a family Mon-Fri, occasional nights or weekends in
SFV or Ventura County areas.  If you would like to learn more about me and
if we would be a good fit please email me at Conelly25 at aol.com

I am looking for another position for my current nanny Dora.  She has been
working with out family for more than 2 years, since just before my twin
boys were born.  I simply can't afford to keep her with my boyz going to
pre-school in the fall and my brother being unemployed.  Dora has been
absolutely terrific.  I found her through a colleague of mine for whom she
worked for 8 years.  She has 25 years of nanny experience in addition to
being a mother herself (her kids are grown).   She has a green card, has her
own car, and has never been late or called in sick once during her time with
us.  She does light housekeeping and laundry, cooks for the boys and is like
a part of our family.  My boys love her, she has so much energy and a happy
demeanor.  Dora is from El Salvador, English is her second language.  She
lives in Van Nuys and is willing to commute.  Please let me know if you
would like to meet her. Email me at hallc at cshs.org

I can say with conviction if you hire Iris, you will feel lucky you were the
one to find this gem of a human being. To contact this wonderful person to
help you this summer, Email: iriskb74 at gmail.com  or Cell 805-279-4131 Best
time to call - after 3:00 pm. She lives in Westlake Village and is willing
to drive to the L.A area, as her brother and his wife live there and offered
a place to stay when needed. Iris is passionate about kids and their
welfare. She is humble and generous. You will find her to be trustworthy and
kind. How do I know this? She has worked at my kid's preschool for 3-5
years, I am not sure exactly. What I am sure of is that she is a better
mother to those kids than I am to 4 of my own. She NEVER raises her voice
and uses soothing methods to encourage kids to do the right thing. I hear
her ask kids to use their "rainbow words." She is a doll to care for so many
kids all these years and some of them are not so easy  yet she takes it in
stride. She has worked as a nanny as well. Before that she worked for an
Insurance company and handled large cases. You will find Iris to be a happy,
SUPER easy-going person who will take care of your precious kids, driving
them places and prepare for them healthy food. She holds a  valid California
driver license.  Sorry, she is allergic to pets. She speaks English and
Hebrew. For a reference, there are many - the Director of the school,  the
teachers she works with, parents, and I - a parent at the school, Melissa

anything you need her to as far as cleaning goes.  She lives in Hollywood

your house as early as you need her.  She likes to work mornings because she
has 3 girls in school to see in the afternoons.  She speaks English and
Spanish and is VERY friendly. We even have used her to watch my 2 boys
often, so if you want to use her as a babysitter, she is wonderful.  My boys
LOVE her.  Her number is 323-239-0154 cell. Referred by jodymwolk at yahoo.com
