Booked by 3 families in Lynwood, CA

Hello! My name is Nia and I have 15 years babysitting newborns, infants and children. I have professional experience at a daycare for ages 1-4 as well as in my 6th year working through a private babysitting company. I also have experience coaching 6 year old basketball I am also comfortable watching and helping the elderly with basic tasks such as cooking, cleaning around the house and also just providing company. I can keep them quite entertained with my stories. I used to work at the local animal shelter and prior to that was a successful dog walker so I am very comfortable with all animals. I’m very energetic and nurturing so I do really well entertaining my 3 year old perfect nephew when I babysit him weekly.

Nia was great! She was very cool, down to earth, and our girls really liked her - we would totally have her back!

Nami 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hey I’m Nami. I’ve been babysitting for a few years and Ive always taken care of my younger siblings/cousins growing up. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, and I’m always happy to follow any specific routines or rules your family has. I take pride in being reliable and communicative, and I genuinely care about each child I work with. Clear communication is important to me so I can always send check ins or share updates if wanted. I have experience working with students from elementary through high school, including special education. I worked for a private agency that specialized in children with special needs/behavioral issues as well. Willing to do any cooking/cleaning needed. Non-smoker and have reliable transportation!

Very reliable and punctual. Felt confident leaving my kid in her care. I recommend to anyone looking for a baby sitter. Going to book again.

I’m Haily, a 24 year old engineering student at USC! I am pursuing a dual degree in a Biomedical Engineering (B.S.) and Mechanical Engineering with an AI/ML specialization (M.S.) looking forward to finishing my collegiate career in December 2026. I am someone who loves fun activities like coloring, journaling, cooking, meditating and exploring nature. I have about 3 years of babysitting experience from babysitting my younger cousins in my hometown of Sacramento. I also have a younger sister who I love dearly that I grew up helping my mom taking care of! Additionally, I’ve tutoring 5th-8th grade students as a freelance tutor for the past 5 years, usually meeting these students in their home, building connections with parents, and helping them become more confident in all subjects, especially math! I’m the type of person that is intentional with everything I do and leads with a love ethic. I love working kids and am so excited to get started with babysitting here in Los Angeles.

Haily is an exceptionally kind and patient person. She is dependable, professional and knows how to make anyone feel comfortable, even the shyest person. She is an amazing tutor and from what I know has a lot of experience tutoring kids of all ages. She prioritizes the needs of those around her and is always willing to help. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Lesly $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Lesly, I have a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Cal State LA. I have over three years of hands-on experience working one-on-one with children of all ages in school and home settings. My work has focused on supporting children’s developmental, emotional, and academic needs and providing consistent care. Before that, I worked as a babysitter while attending college, further deepening my understanding of child development and family dynamics. Growing up, I was also the primary caregiver for my younger siblings, which taught me early on the importance of responsibility, patience, and empathy.
