Hello I'm Camilla, I'm available as a babysitter either part-time, full-time, occasional needs, as a mother's helper or for those special date nights I have a strong background in caring for individuals with special needs i.e Autism whereby I use music, and I'm completely at ease around pets. When it comes to infants, I'm exceptionally nurturing and provide them with the individual attention they require. My boundless energy allows me to keep up with growing babies and children I don’t smoke, so please no homes where anyone smokes. I have experience homeschooling children and teaching language as early as infants with signs and songs. I am able to help with homework and engage in creative arts activities. I'm known for my hardworking nature, trustworthiness, and punctuality. Cooking is a passion of mine which I enjoy sharing with older children to while promote healthy eating. With my background in music to Read more teach, I excel at using music, puppets, play, and imaginative play to engage and educate babies and children. I am an avid reader to all. In my downtime I also write stories, songs, and educational videos for children. I'm adept at assessing the needs of infants and children and developing appropriate techniques for their care always keeping learning at their level and fostering their curiosity patience and prioritizing safety. My educational background includes a degree in Music from UCLA, making me a creative and energetic choice.

My experience includes providing specialized care, cognitive therapy, speech/music/play therapy for non-verbal, autistic, severely mentally challenged, and physically challenged individuals, both children and adults, on a one-on-one basis.

We are so thankful we found Camilla on Sittercity! Our 4 year old daughter is always excited when we tell her Camilla is coming over. Camilla is engaging and fun! She will email us about new ideas and activities to do when she's here with our daughter. She is also very responsive and punctual. The few times we have run late coming back, she has been flexible. We would highly recommend Camilla to watch your little(s).

Camilla was an amazing find!!! She came prepared with a plan each day and kept my adhd asd 4 year old engaged and learning. She put some much care and effort into to helping my son thrive and develop. She’s a calming presence and has a gift with kids. Just to name some of the amazing ideas she had… she created a mailbox so my son could have a pen pal. She would write notes for him to find and make a new friend. They cooked a bunch of interesting healthy recipes. She followed his passions and came up with so many creative ways to feed his curiosity.She always cleaned up after the messes. Always right on time. Our schedule changed otherwise we would absolutely still be using her. She’s trustworthy and genuinely cared about my child. Lucky we found her.

Camilla was an exceptional nanny, the perfect fit for us as our previous nanny had to unexpectedly leave town a few months before we were moving out of the country, and we were already thinking it would be nice to have a nanny with more experience in child development, which was right in Camilla's wheelhouse. Camilla taught our 1yr old daughter so many words, how to communicate some needs, and our daughter really loved her. She always kept the play gym neat and organized, and was a pleasure to have around. Camilla even stayed with us on our final move out days when there wasn't much left to keep our daughter occupied, and I honestly don't think we could've pulled it all off without her. It was a great nanny experience.

Fantastic!! So responsive and my kids absolutely adore her. She is attentive and involved and put us completely at ease since we rarely have used non family sitters before especially since one of my kids has a traumatic brain injury. She was wonderful with him! My kids still ask when Camilla is coming back (guess I’m going to have to start booking more date nights).

Camilla was a great help during a difficult time. Even during the interview, she was eager to form a bond with my little girl and was nothing but kind, gentle, and caring throughout my experience with her. She’s a gem; hire with confidence.

Camilla has watched our three year old and six month old for two nights out. They have responded better to her than to any other sitter we’ve had. This was the first time I’d left the house without the sound of my six month old screaming for me as I left! She was calm and creative with the kids, and punctual. I look forward to booking her again.

Camille's profile looks great, so I emailed with her and set a date (a Saturday) and rate. Then I waited until early morning on the day before to arrange the time and location (we were staying at a hotel nearby). She didn't respond so ultimately I called her that Friday afternoon. It sounded like I woke her -- she was confused and had no idea who I was. Then she mumbled some excuse about "trying to arrange some family stuff" and said she'd get back to me. She didn't. So I wound up without a sitter. Worked out fine for me, but it could've been a disaster. Apart from safety, reliability in a sitter is the most critical job, and Camille was not. Marc

We were looking for someone to assist my mother with managing medications, arthritis care, and skin care and to provide companionship and social interaction. I believe that Camille's patient and understanding companionship for the past three months have been responsible in no small part for my mother's greatly improved mood, alertness, and engagement.

Camille is a very caring and responsible babysitter. When she is with my 10 year old granddaughter, she participates with her in fun and engaging activities instead of just sitting around watching TV together! She is very nurturing and my granddaughter always learns something new each time Camille is with her. I highly recommend Camille to other families.

My relative has been declining from dementia for about ten years now. He is approaching the end stages. We were looking for a companion caregiver to feed him solid foods (takes longer so the nursing home just provides processed foods) as well as give him reflexology massages. She is patient, gentle, talks to him, feeds him slowly - which he enjoys - and rubs his hands and feet. He hasn't had facial expressions for about a year now, but I've seen him smile when he heard her voice! This is a big deal. For the first time in a decade of decline, he has improved! He is more focused, alert, and interested in this life. I'm not with them when they are together, but if you ask me, that's the best reference of them all.

I have an infant and Camille is very attentive. She's punctual and cares a great deal about the well being of my daughter. She's easy going and is not phased by the demands of caring for my little one.

Camille is a calming presence, and has an immediate rapport with children. She is instinctive in her approach to instruction, and relates to children of all ages. Her use of music is particularly effective, and helped my daughter a great deal. She is reliable and dependable, and I trust her implicitly. I highly recommend her.

Camille watched our 4 months old baby for us and she was great with him. She was always on time and our son enjoyed her company, cheerful attitude, and playful nature.

Camille has been such a help to our family. I have 2 children (daughter age 8 and a son age 6.) She does a great job at keeping them occupied by finding fun activities. Comille is a hands on sitter. She is creative and takes her job seriously. I can tell she loves children and puts her heart into the family she works for. She is always on time and incredibly thoughtful. My husband and I highly recomend Comille. Joyce Pace Spigner

Camille has been a wonderful Nanny for my children for the last few months Unfortunately I made a last minute decision to move to another city for my job so we aren't going to be able to use her any more. I highly recommend Camille to care for your children. She's caring, responsible, trustworthy and a wonderful person.
