Mommy Helper & Nanny – Available Now Turkish cooking • House • Child care support •Senior Care • Reliable transportation

📍 Serving: Westchester, Playa Vista, Culver City, Marina del Rey

About Me

I’m a loving, nurturing mom and a certified professional. After working as an E‑Commerce Manager for six years (plus a background in accounting), I left my career in 2020 to raise my daughter. That experience, from newborn to age five, gave me deep hands‑on knowledge of child development, routines, and care.

I’m currently studying Early Childhood Education at Santa Monica College and hold an MBA. I also work part‑time with a 5‑year‑old special needs child and have occasionally cared for other babies and toddlers for 8 years.

Certifications & Transportation

· CPR & First Aid certified · Clean driving record – I have my own reliable car with a car seat installed . Excellent references available upon request · U.S. citizen – Speaking in English & Turkish

· Bottle cleaning, sanitizing, feeding · Diaper changing & nap time support · Dishes, laundry, house tidy‑up · Meal prep & planning – serving meals during my shift · Grocery lists and shopping help · Driving children with my own car · Plus: Organizing & styling for you! 💖

Homemade Turkish Cooking

I cook and bake everything from scratch – clean, wholesome, and delicious. Examples: Stuffed bell peppers 🫑, stuffed grape leaves, rice, soups, vegetable dishes 🍛 (with or without meat), and more.

Activities with Children

I’m very animated with children – I love making them laugh and being silly with them. Other activities I enjoy: reading, blocks, coloring, Legos, puzzles, music, singing, dancing, outdoor play (sand, walks, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, nature hunts, catch), pretend play, puppets, fort building, water play, baking simple treats, and tidying up toys together.

I genuinely care for the whole child – honoring their feelings, curiosity, and personality. Building trust with both child and parents is my priority.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Pet Boarding Provider

Follow these handy tips for hiring a private pet boarding provider perfect for ensuring your furry family member is safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

1. Check Their Experience

Ask how long they’ve been boarding pets and what kinds of animals they specialize in (dogs, cats, exotics).

2. Verify Training & Certifications

Look for credentials in pet CPR/first aid, animal behavior, or relevant pet care associations.

3. Tour the Boarding Environment

Visit their home or facility to confirm it’s clean, safe, and pet-friendly with secure fencing, proper ventilation, and comfortable spaces.

4. Ask About Daily Care & Routine

Understand how often pets are fed, walked, played with, and allowed outside.

5. Clarify Supervision Levels

Find out if pets are supervised overnight, how often they’re checked on, and how many pets are boarded at once.

6. Review Health & Safety Policies

Confirm vaccination requirements, flea/tick prevention, emergency protocols, and how illness or injuries are handled.

7. Discuss Special Needs Care

Ask if they can handle pets with medical conditions, medications, dietary needs, or anxiety.

Read testimonials or speak with past clients to verify reliability and quality of care.

9. Understand Communication Style

Ask if they’ll provide daily updates, photos, or videos while you’re away for peace of mind.

Book an overnight trial to see how your pet adjusts and how attentive the provider is before committing to a longer trip.
