[Jen's List] NANNY/BABYSITTERS/HOUSEKEEPERS LEADS ONLY

Wed Jun 17 16:19:00 CDT 2009

Nuria is our amazing nanny. We are so sad to have to part with her but we
have to cut back on our child care. Nuria has taken incredible care of our
daughter since she was 1 month old. Not only does she take care of our
daughter but she also manages to take care of our three dogs and keep the
house neat. Nuria has loads of experience. She will work anywhere, has a
very flexible schedule and will be either live in or live out. She also has
considerable experience taking care of multiple children at a time so she
would be ideal for a shared childcare situation or a family with more than
one child. For more information you can either email me at
sarahevelyn at sarahevelyn.com or call me at 310.486.2579 or call Nuria
directly on her cell phone at 310.699.0800. 
AND
Our wonderful nanny, Lupita, is looking for full time work as a
nanny/housekeeper or a nanny share arrangement.  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, does laundry, and takes excellent care of
our son.  She is fluent in both English and Spanish, and has taught our son
both. She\'s very creative and spends a lot of time teaching our son.  By 15
months, Lupita had taught our son to read and recite the entire alphabet.
She's in her late thirties and has tons of energy for playing with our son,
taking him for long walks to the park, 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. Most
importantly to us, we have full trust in her with our son. Lupita has been
wonderful to us and we hope she can find a great family to work for. Lupita
lives in North Hollywood and has her own car, so is willing to commute.
Please contact Lupita directly at 323-333-9074.  You may also contact me if
you have reference related questions at nimalkaw at yahoo.com

We have an absolutely wonderful nanny, Alison, who is looking for a new job.
She has been with us for 4 years. My daughter was 10 months old and my son
was almost 4 years old when she started with us. Our children adore her. We
are 2 full-time working parents, and for us, Alison has been our life line.
Her work ethic is impeccable. She has taken only 1 sick day in the past 4
years, and that was because she caught a stomach flu from our son. She is
smart, reliable, and honest. She drives and has her own car. She has been
taking classes at night to earn her college degree. She is very flexible
about her hours but needs full-time work.  We are so sad to let her go, but
now that our children are older (5 and 8), we have decided to put them into
private school, and so we cannot afford to continue to have a nanny. If you
live in the Los Angeles area and are looking for a full-time nanny for your
child(ren), please email jportnow at coh.org.
AND
I am helping my fabulous nanny look for a full-time job. We unfortunately
had to let her go because we now need live-in help. Lissa is incredibly
caring and has meant much more to us than just a nanny. She is exceptionally
patient and calm, warm and respectful, honest, reliable, and hard working.
She is extremely energetic and always able to keep up with our daughters who
seem to have endless amounts of energy.  Our girls run to her and greet her
every time she arrives with hugs and kisses, and do the same when she
leaves. In the 2 ½ years she’s been with us she has grown to become part of
our family. She is truly a gem. Please email me at oritravid at yahoo.com or

kids, ages 4 and 2.  She has many years of experience as a nanny, and we are
just one of several local families who will gladly sing her praises. Lorie

find a full-time nanny position but may consider a part-time position. To

I would like to highly recommend a great baby nurse/ nanny / housekeeper
with a lot of twins experience. Her rates are very reasonable and she is
happy to work nights / days / overnights / baby nurse / cleaning / ironing,
she is very flexible and extremely hard working and dedicated. Nellie was an
amazing help with my 7 month old and my home (she loves to do dishes,
laundry, ironing and does so without even being asked). She was only with us
for a month but had just finished working as a night nurse for a Jen's List
member's baby twins as well as being a great playmate for her 5 year old.
(Nellie was wonderful with my son and did a ton around the house, but given
the hours that my husband and I both work, we realized that we need live-in
help. Otherwise we would have loved to keep her .. our loss is definitely
your gain! :) She has strong references and is a twin mom herself.  Her kids
are grown, so she has a lot of flexibility as far as scheduling.  She is
warm and loving and relates to children of any age.  She doesn't drive, but
is always on time and has a strong work ethic.  She takes the bus from North
Hollywood.  She is very caring, she and we were both very sad that we could
not keep her, and I would really like to find her a family who is looking
for someone hard working, dedicated, flexible, reasonable, caring and
trustworthy for their little one(s). She is extremely respectful and eager
to please as well, which I think goes a long way and is a great quality. We
can't recommend her strongly enough! Feel free to contact her directly at

We have a wonderful nanny for anyone out there looking. Unfortunately, I’m
out of a job at the end of the month, so we have to let her go. Zoila’s been
taking care of our son since he was 3 months old. He’s now 9 months and a
happy, well-adjusted little boy. And Zoila’s been a huge part of it. He
lights up every time she enters the room. Zoila came to us with great
references and years of experience with infants and young children. In the 6
months she’s worked for us, she’s always been on time, and is usually at
least 15 minutes early. And she’s never missed a day of work. Zoila speaks
both English and Spanish, has her own car, and is a US citizen. We know how
stressful it can be to find a qualified, caring and reliable person to take
care of the most precious person in your life. But when we found Zoila, all
of those worries went away immediately. She’s been a real blessing to us. We
truly hate to see her go, but hopefully our loss will be your gain. You can
reach Zoila directly at (323)868-4563. I’d be happy to answer any questions
you may have about Zoila, so feel free to email me at

NANNY SHARE: We are looking for a family that would like to timeshare a
wonderful nanny (mornings 8/9a.m.-12/1p.m.).  Our daughter is starting
preschool in the fall and we will sadly have to reduce our nanny’s time and
would like to keep her in the afternoons.  Kirsten is incredible!  Since she
started with us around the time our daughter turned 2, our little girl’s
language skills skyrocketed (making the terrible twos a little easier to
handle).  Kirsten is energetic, dependable, kind, funny, honest,
college-educated, flexible (!!), conscientious, eager to help and learn,
athletic (she was a competitive swimmer and soccer player in school), and
can handle multiple kids (her prior job involved 4 of them).  She has also
been amazing at making time for babysitting.  Most importantly, she has
truly become both our daughter’s best friend and a responsible role model.
Hiring a nanny is the most important thing we have had to do and we have
made it abundantly clear to Kirsten how important she is to us.  We, of
course, want to keep her, but also have nothing for her to do in the
mornings, so we’re hoping that a loving, caring family like ours might want
a wonderful caretaker in the mornings.  Westside preferred.  Please contact
me at ohm1050 at gmail.com
AND
