Lana Hayward
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Lana, I am a current sophomore in college. I am majoring in biology and child development as a my minor!! I have two younger siblings, one 7 years old and 11 years old and I’m the oldest cousin in my family. I've helped take care of them when they were infants and toddlers so I have experience with diaper changing, putting them to sleep and most especially playing with them and having fun!! The past 3 summers I have been working with elementary school aged children during summer camp. I typically worked with students from the ages 5-8 years old. I love working with kids and I aspire to have a career that involves working with children.

Janet Hayward
$25 per hour for 1 child

Since I was a teenager, I have enjoyed working with children, and as an adult, I continue to share that passion. With over 15 years of experience, I have cared for children of various ages, including newborns, toddlers, preschoolers, elementary-aged children, pre-teens, and young adults with disabilities. I truly cherish the challenges and rewards that come with this work, and I have fond memories from each family I have had the privilege to serve. I love being around children and can honestly say that I am passionate about what I do. I believe children are fun, loving, innocent, pure, and full of excitement. As a nanny, my goal is to provide the best environment for both the children and their parents while offering my help and love. I am also willing to assist with housekeeping tasks such as family errands, children’s laundry, meal preparation, and keeping the house tidy. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives, I would say I am fun, patient, empathetic, loving, honest, and reliable. I aim to incorporate nutritious eating, educational games, and physical activities into the daily routine of the families I care for. Ideally, the perfect family seeking a nanny like me would be friendly, supportive, and caring. I am Trustline certified, have a clean DMV record and background check, and hold CPR and First Aid certifications. All vaccines up to Date including COVID vaccines. I have worked with great well-known nanny agencies with long term families.
