[Jen's List] HOUSEKEEPER/BABYSITTER/NANNY LEADS ONLY

[Jennifer Levinson]

Jason Bennett is 23 and has worked at Shomrei Torah preschool for two years.
We recently got budget cuts and I was one of the many to go. I love children
and I don't want to get a serving job or anything else since I want to work
with kids and I am majoring in child development. I was wondering if there
was any family in the SFV close to West Hills/Woodland Hills who needed me
to either babysit consistently (at least 5 days a week ) or even pick up the
kids from school and bring them back to their house and watch them for about
3 hours a day. I charge $17-20 per hour and that includes gas and everything
else. I have ECE units as well as letter of recommendation from my director
and teachers I have worked with. Please post my ad and if anyone wants to
contact me they can at the email address buccfan9 at yahoo.com  Thank you so
much for reading this, you will really help me out
From: Jens List member - Gerilynshorten at aol.com 
I know Jason and I think he is WONDERFUL.  His youth and energy are
incredibly appealing to the kids at school.  He never sits and is always
interacting with the students.  He knows everyone's name - kids and parents
included.  I'm truly sorry he got laid off, and I am happy to be a
reference.

WONDERFUL NANNY WITH MULTIPLES EXPERIENCE AVAILABLE
Dina, our nanny(of almost 3 years) a.k.a "my life saver" will be available
beginning July 1st for up to 4 days per week-she will break up the days and
work for multiple families (I have the summer off and will be on mommy
duty). In September the boys will be going to preschool and she will be
available as well (possibly for the whole week, if she finds a great family
to work for and if the boys and I can stand to be without her-we will have
her for babysitting).  This woman is truly amazing-she comes to our house
smiling, spends a full day with two VERY energetic twin boys and leaves our
house smiling looking as put together as when she came. She is always
playing with them, teaching them how to be good to one another, and
providing them with love and security when my husband and I are at
work/away. I have actually had strangers (who recognize my boys) come up to
me to tell me how lucky I am to have such a caring nanny. She takes the bus
and can get pretty much anywhere, she is in the process of getting
residency-she has a social security number and is allowed to work here, she
speaks English (not fluent, but well enough to communicate with the whole
family), she is a hard worker, has worked with singletons and twins, and is
crazy about children. She has become part of our family as she has been with
us almost three years. I want to make sure she gets with good people that
will appreciate all that she does and make her feel welcome! Call me at

PART TIME NANNY AVAILABLE: It is with a VERY heavy heart that I have to
write this recommendation, but due to the fact that my older daughter is now
starting camp/school full-time, my wonderful Sonia is now available. In the
short time that Sonia has been with our family (almost a year), she has
become much more than a fabulous nanny to my two girls, but more like a
member of the family. My older daughter was 2 1/2 when Sonia first started
and my younger daughter wasn't even born yet. I had no idea what to ask for,
what kind of help I needed or what to expect, but Sonia came in and
completely took charge, taking care of things that I never even would have
thought of! She is a mother to her own daughter, but a mother to my kids as
well. She honestly could not have taken better care of my girls (and me for
that matter) if they were her own. We all love her dearly and are so sad to
see her leave, although she will never be completely out of our lives. Sonia
is the hardest worker you will ever see, amazing with infants, babies and
older kids, always punctual, very flexible, fluent in English (and even in
school to improve upon herself), CPR certified (and renews her certification
each year) and completely reliable. She is a wonderful driver with a very
safe car. Sonia is gentle, genuine and very creative. She never puts on the
TV with the kids unless i tell her to and is always coming up with fun
things to do, playing, arts and crafts, singing, games, reading or taking
walks. Sonia would be an asset to any family lucky enough to have her. I
have never seen her sit still...even when the kids are napping, Sonia is
still working...doing laundry, cleaning (even though i have a house keeper)
sewing/repairing clothes...anything and everything. Sonia is looking for
part time work, preferably M/W/F for 8 hours each day, but is flexible, so
please feel free to contact her or me if you are in need of the BEST NANNY
EVER!!!

Lauren Henderson is a 23-year-old non-smoking California resident with an
excellent driving record. She has been a nanny three times since moving to
Los Angeles in 2004. She has worked with children of all ages, from two
years all the way up to teenagers. She is currently working at the Starlight
Children's Foundation as an online moderator for their program Starbright
World. Starbright World was designed to give chronically ill kids a place to
go to talk to other kids in similar situations and to vent about their pain,
fear and isolation. Her duties include chatting with the kids, keeping them
occupied and happy, reporting any problems to their parents and
communicating with hospital staff as they tour the online community. It is a
part-time job so she is looking for something else to fill in the time gaps.
Because of her duties at Starlight, and her experience caregiving and
nannying, Lauren is very good at communicating the needs of children. She is
extremely responsible and while your child is in her care, he or she is her
first priority and has her complete attention. Lauren is also a documentary
filmmaker and is excellent at making people feel comfortable and
communicating effectively with total strangers. Oh, and on top of knowing
L.A. like the back of her hand, she also has a GPS system in her car, so
she's never lost :-) Lauren has experience working with special needs
children and she also owns a very friendly certified therapy dog named
Phoebe who goes with her everywhere. Lauren and Phoebe make a wonderful team
and they would be an amazing addition to a dog-friendly household. You can
reach Lauren by phone at (323) 875-9559, or by email at
Laurenphenderson at aol.com 
AND
My nanny/housekeeper is looking for work on Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays.  She is very proactive, both with the kids and with housework. My
preschooler adores her and says, "I don\'t want Patricia to go home!!"
Patricia is trustworthy, speaks fluent English, and has a valid California
driver\'s license. She has stellar references and is a blessing to my
family. You can call me at (310)999-1820 or Stacey (whom Patricia has worked
for the past 4 years) at (818)383-5310 for any questions, or Patricia
directly at home (after 7:30pm) at 818-904-0310 referred by

AND
Our nanny/housekeeper Julia is so fantastic, I can't let her go! But my kids
will be in school full-time next year, so I'm looking to find her something
for several mornings per week. If you need someone for 3 or 4 mornings,
Julia is a rare and amazing find.  I started out with my first nanny 3
mornings per week, and it's a great way to get a little time off from being
mom!  Julia has worked for us since my daughter was 3 months old, and my son
was 4 (they're now 4 1/2 and 8) and she's truly a member of our family.  She
came referred by a close friend's sister whom she worked for many years, so
she has a wonderful history of long-term positions and fabulous references.
She is fantastic with babies as well as school-age kids, and has been as
helpful with bottle feeding and naptime as she is with getting homework done
and supervising playdates.  When the kids are napping or in school, she's
always cleaning. I never have any dirty laundry, and the dishes are always
clean!   She speaks fantastic english, is a responsible driver (she takes my
kids everywhere!), and is a US citizen... she has travelled with me several
times (even out of the country).   She has stayed at our house overnight
when my husband and I want to go away for a night, or staying late sometimes
for much-needed date nights! She's responsible, on-time, has great
judgement, and is just lovely to have around. (you know how some people just
invade your space?! NOT Julia!) Most importantly, my kids adore her, as do
my friend's kids!  She is available starting in September. For inquiries,
please call 310-650-8944 or email me at carleyknob at mac.com
AND
Great Nanny/Housekeeper Available-Janneth has been working for us for the
past 3 years.  She has over 7 years of experience as a nanny/housekeeper and
is wonderful with children.  We can only have her one day a week, so she is
looking to fill the other days.  She speaks great English and is patient and
loving.  She is located in Van Nuys but is willing to travel.  Please feel
free to email at mamacassy2k at yahoo.com  me for a reference or contact her
directly at 818-481-4207.
AND
As we too have become a victim of this economy it is with great sadness that
I have to write this letter.  However, if there has ever been a time when
the phrase "Our loss is your gain" has been used to describe a situation,
this is truly one of those moments... as I cannot say enough good things
about our nanny, Lily. We had the wonderful fortune of having Lily with us
for the past 5 years, and you should know how lucky you too will be, to have
her as a part of your family.  Lily brings with her a tremendous set of
skills, values, and attributes, including:  Speaks English, Drives, Cooks,
Cleans, Compassionate, Caring, Loving, Responsible, Good natured, Creative,
and is very Resourceful. But, most important Lily was there and helped us
raise our children from day 1 when we brought our first daughter home from
the hospital (we now have 2 girls), and through not only all the fun and
wonderful times, but through the difficult and challenging issues that arise
during the various stages of childhood that we did not know of, expect, or
how to handle. Lily's contribution to our family cannot be measured, and I
don't know where we'd be with out her.  This is why I give her my full and
heartfelt recommendation.  Lily will be available as of June 29, 2009 and I
would be more than willing to further talk with you to discuss what a
wonderful person and nanny Lily is, and how lucky you will be to have her
work for you.  My name is Rick and my phone number is (310) 738-0079.  If
you would like to contact Lily yourself to talk with her and possibly set up
an appointment /interview, please call her direct at (213) 926-4138.

Our wonderful nanny, Lupita, is available in June.  Lupita has been with us
for a year, caring for our 18 month old son,and we are regrettably letting
her go because my mom will be moving in with us.  We would keep her if we
were able to.  Lupita has over 15 years of professional experience as a
nanny and has worked with most families in the past for periods of 2-5
years.  She's also a mom.  She cooks, cleans (is very clean!), does laundry,
and takes excellent care of our son.  She is fluent in both English and
Spanish, and has taught our son both. By 15 months, Lupita had taught our
son to read and recite the entire alphabet and so we have been very happy
with her ability to teach him new things. She\'s in her late thirties and
has tons of energy for playing with our son, taking care of him for long
hours, and seeking out and making new friends in the neighborhood for him to
have play dates. She\'s very loving, caring, and kind to our son, and he is
extremely fond of her.  We have very demanding jobs, and Lupita has been
very flexible with our schedule. She has never rushed us to get home and has
always been very accommodating. Most importantly to us, we have full trust
in her with our son. Lupita has been wonderful to us and so we thought the
very least we could do is write this recommendation for her. Lupita is
available June 15, but I'd be happy to work something out and help her start
earlier if needed. She is interested in a full-time nanny position or a
nanny share arrangement, but would also be happy to be considered for
part-time positions.  She would also be interested in housekeeping
positions.  Lupita has her own car for commuting. She is willing to commute
to areas such as Santa Monica, Marina Del Rey, Beverly Hills, West LA, and
South Pasadena, as well as anywhere in San Fernando Valley. If you are at
all interested in speaking with her, you can contact her directly at
323-333-9074.  You may also contact me at nimalkaw at yahoo.com
