About Ivana
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am a loving and extremely dedicated nanny with 15+ yrs of experience. I completed extensive coursework including developmental psychology and neuroscience, which informs my highly attuned approach to childcare, ensuring each child receives not only attention through deep listening but also affection through loving care and kindness, appreciation by noticing their absolute uniqueness, and acceptance by embracing them as they are. Having cared for more than 26 children, including serving as a first-time nanny to 11, my experience spans a broad age range, with a particular focus on babies and toddlers. I am committed to nurturing every aspect of a child's growth. Your child will feel safe, adored, and empowered to thrive. Known for my funness, I turn even the most ordinary moments into joyful adventures. I love creative play, nature explorations, obstacle courses, and pretend science experiments that foster wonder and a love of life. B. S. Finance, USC M. S. Biomimicry, ASU

Reviewed on 3/27/2025
Ivana was our son A.'s nanny for approx 4 months. She cared for him from 3 months old and is incredibly loving, educated, experienced and caring. We don't have family in the US so finding someone we trusted was incredibly important to us. From the moment she met A. she was speaking to him, letting him know who she was, singing to him and treated him like he was her own. She cares deeply about the wellbeing of babies and taught us many new things as first time parents. We only needed 3 days/week care so Ivana moved onto something with more hours but we still call upon her for casual care.
