About Mercedes

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I've worked as a nanny for over 20 years in Los Angeles, caring for children from newborn to 15 years (in addition to raising my own three children, who are now wonderful young adults, and being a doting grandmother). I love children and care taking is my calling. I'm experienced with all phases of childcare -- from bottle feeding and toilet training, to outings to the library and park, to school drop off/pick up and organizing after-school activities, to helping with homework -- and everything in between. My approach to childcare is loving and compassionate, while prioritizing consistency, following the rules, and respect. I am also available to do light household support and run errands. I am seeking a kind, reliable and respectful family to work with and support. I have my own transportation, a clean driving record, excellent references and a verifiable work history.

When Mercedes first started working with our family, our daughter didn't warm up right away. But Mercedes was very patient and understanding and found ways to connect with her. She always ends the day happy, and now our daughter will call our Mercedes' name randomly throughout the week. Mercedes is gentle with children and responsive to feedback. And even though we didn't ask her to care for our son, he thoroughly enjoys the brief moments she's around before we shuttle him off to school.
