THROUGH THICK & THIN. A Testimonial….
“I called Ryan in a time of severe need. I had a 4-month old who wasn’t sleeping, a 5-year old who desperately needed my attention and I was going through post-partum depression. I was requesting a miracle —A miracle is what I got. Kate is literally in my phone as “Kate Lifesaver.” Educated Nannies saved my family. It sounds very intense but when you’re in it… it is. Kate spent 4 nights with us that week. My daughter was sleep-trained by the third night thanks to Kate. From there on out — pure bliss. My family is very happy and we owe so much to Educated Nannies.”

Arianna Carlson
TEMP PLACEMENT COORDINATOR
Originally from New York, Arianna is one of five siblings! She has always had a passion for working with children and helping others. Arianna started her career working as a nanny for families in the Hamptons. Throughout her undergraduate and graduate studies at Northeastern University and Wheelock College, Arianna spent her days caring for children of home, school and hospital settings. After teaching school for several years in Boston, Arianna relocated to Los Angeles where she ran a successful nanny agency, tutored and spent time as a private educator. This adventurer has also lived and taught in Seoul, Korea and Honolulu, Hawaii. Arianna is most proud of her role as a mother. She draws on that in her work, understanding firsthand the importance and impact of a strong relationship between a family and their nanny. We are lucky to have her unique and empathetic perspective, that comes from years of experience on the Educated Nannies team (and so are our clients!) Arianna’s other passions include camping, hiking, traveling, cooking and spending time with her brilliant son.

This western Massachussets native has spent the better part of the last 25 years dedicating her time to working closely with children and families in an educaring capacity. This bright, sharp gal earned her Master of Education from Smith College and taught for 8 years before relocating to Los Angeles where she became an Educated Nanny in 2013. Jazmine had the great pleasure of working with her nanny family in multiple capacities for over 6 years, up until the pandemic started. Her natural transition into recruiting the top nanny candidates in LA has been one of the most rewarding experiences of her career. Helping families to find the best childcare in the city is a challenge that she is excited to tackle each and every day! When she’s not busy recruiting nannies, Jazmine likes to enjoy seeing her nanny family children play sports, roller skating, camping, dancing, and all forms of art and design.

Upon a cross country move from Chicago to Los Angeles, Dana started working with a nanny agency part-time helping many different families with their childcare needs. Her experience helping an abundance of families has proven to her the importance of making the perfect match for future families in need. She feels passionate about bringing her administrative knowledge and personal nanny experience to our team. Dana also enjoys traveling, spending time with her family and friends, group fitness classes, baking, and taking her dog to the dog beach. Guess what else? She’s expecting!
