My name is Ana. I'm a loving, reliable nanny with over 25 years of experience caring for children from infancy to age 10. As a mother myself, I understand how important it is to build trust and create a peaceful, nurturing environment where children feel safe, seen, and supported. I care deeply about each child's development and work closely with parents to support their values and routines. I bring calm, affection, and structure to every day-whether I'm planning playdates, helping with reading, or simply offering comfort and connection when it's needed most.

Ana is an amazing nanny. She took care of our twins for three years. She took amazing care of them.

For almost seven years she has been:
Reliable, caring, flexible, attentive, generous, warm, kind, energetic, playful, supportive and a truly good hearted member of our family home.

I hired her almost 7 years ago when my son was just three months old and I was still in the throws of maternity leave and anxieties about how I could possibly leave my newborn with anybody else and drive away to work.  I knew that I wanted somebody who was experienced, and who had raised their own children and once I spoke to her previous employer, I knew that I had found the right person. Since then, she has provided consistent and loving care and supervision for my son (now in 1st grade) and his younger sister who turns three next year. While I know that it is time for our daughter to move on to daycare, I am heartbroken that we will no longer have her loving presence in our home most day of the week. 

She’s the best. Some ways she has shown up for us:
•	She is the most consistently punctual person I’ve ever met. 
•	She is reliable and regularly flexes her schedule to help provide additional coverage as work tied us up, or unanticipated things came up 
•	She follows a set schedule/routine to the letter anzd will pivot or adjust when you ask her to. Our youngest is almost three and still takes a two hour nap daily, thanks in great deal to the habits and routine consistently kept up during the week.
•	My daughter ADORES her and rejoices every time she arrives at our home. My son still delights whenever he gets to see her before or after school.
•	At our request, she spoke mainly Spanish to the children and both kids have picked up a great deal of Spanish. The 6 year old is now in a Spanish immersion program and the 2 year old is pretty fluent 
•	She is very active and would regularly take the children on stroller walks to get fresh air and once they were old enough to enjoy the local park, they would visit once or twice a day to enjoy the playground. 
•	She is community oriented. A formed friendships with other nannies and moms who regularly went to the park with their children. Our children benefited from having friendships and social connections with other children their ages. They had a built-in play date system, including celebrating, birthdays, and special occasions during the week at the park.
•	She is organized and helps us stay on top of diapers, supplies for the kids, groceries or snacks that are about to run out etc. 
•	She keeps the nursery and playroom very tidy and cleans up throughout the day as they go from activity to activity
•	She helps us with the kids laundry, and always kept baby bottles, and later the baby chair and dishes washed and ready for next use
•	She kept them moving and getting regular exercise, played games with them, help them make friends, read books, did puzzles and engaged them in imaginative play.

I could go on and on about the many ways that A cares for not just the kids but offers support to help keep our household running more smoothly.
Perhaps the best evidence of our children being well taken care of is what happens when we are not around. My neighbors would regularly report back about how caring, sweet and attentive A is with our daughter and before that our son. Parents would come up to us at the park on weekends or at the mall play structure etc. when they recognized our kids to be a weekday playmate to their child. And time and time again people would gush about how “wonderful A is with the baby”. Unsolicited reports about loving care and attentive supervision were a regular occurrence. 

She is also conscientious about health and was extremely protective of both her health and our children’s during the pandemic. With more than two years of working from home, I cannot even imagine what we would’ve done without A.

I will eternally be grateful for the solid foundation of trusted care and love that she provided our children. She has been a blessing for our family.  I truly hope that she finds a fantastic family that will treat her well and value her and will have an equally well matched experience.


We feel fortunate to have had Ana as a nanny. She is caring, compassionate and trustworthy. I would hire her back in a heartbeat.

Ana worked with our family for two years.  She was a full-time nanny for out twin girls when they were 20 months to 42 months when we moved to a full-time preschool/daycare situation.  Ana brought tremendous calm and structure to our family.  She was firm with the girls and at the same time extremely loving.  She kept a consistent schedule for the girls providing them the required rest and meals.  I never worried about the safety of the girls when she was with them.  I was able to focus on my work when she was in-charge and keep my personal schedule as well  She was able to think creatively about lunches.  She did the planning for that and if we needed something she would let me know or she would run the errand for us on walks with the girls.  She does not drive, but it was never an issue. She uses the train or has a ride.  We had a heavy duty stroller and she took the girls to the library, the park, or for an occasional ice cream treat and the girls always had a blast.

Ana has been with us since we moved to Pasadena in December 2015. We are INCREDIBLY lucky to have found her. She brings a smile to me and my kids each and every day she is here. I unfortunately have to end our work relationship in September because my son will be in Kindergarten, and my daughter will enter PS. I am already fretting her last day. She has become a valued member of my family, and I hope to stay in touch with her forever. She is dependable, helpful, happy, caring, energetic, fun, resourceful. My kids have come to depend on her every day. She takes them to the park daily and on walks and speaks with them to develop their vocabulary. i am open to talking with anyone on the phone as a reference - please get my number from Ana. Any family will be very, very lucky to have her!

Ana has worked for us for a year and a half and has been a true blessing. Our son loves her, she is flexible, punctual, dependable and is full of energy. We are moving and are sad to be loosing her. She has become a part if our family and we 100% trust her with our son!

Ana was our daughter's nanny for a year, when our daughter was a few months old until she was 16 months old. We then left California and, unfortunately, had to say goodbye to Ana. Ana was the most wonderful nanny we could imagine for our daughter-- extraordinarily kind, cheerful, helpful, and fun. Just seeing her every morning brought a smile to my face, and left me relaxed to focus on my work without worrying about the home front. I cannot recommend anyone more strongly than Ana-- she is simply the best.

Amazing nanny that worked for my son for 2 years. My wife and I are moving for work and are sad to see her leave our family.

Ana took care of our son for a year and a half. She has truly been a blessing for our family. She is energetic, caring, kind and our son adores her. Having to work full time can be difficult, but having Ana has made that transition much easier knowing our son was in safe hands each day. Ana is always teaching him something, spends time outside multiple times a day and has a tremendous amount of patience. She brings her own unique experience and ideas for raising our son, but is always conscious of our wishes. Our home is always picked up which makes our lives so much easier. She has taught our son Spanish since we chose early on to expose him to both languages. She is flexible with hours and has never once been late. Please feel free to email me with any questions. Ana is a catch as far as Nannies go and we couldn't be happier. Melissa & Jeff
