Booked by 178 families in South El Monte, CA
I am a former elementary school science teacher and a marine scientist. I've been working with kids for 22 years: both as a teacher and as a babysitter for family (7 nieces and nephews), friends (I'm "auntie" to many more), and a professional babysitting company. I love working with kids because I am one at heart and love to discover the world at their level. I love running around playing games, doing crafts, reading books, and I am a great homework helper. When I get some free time, I love to go kayaking, hiking, and snorkeling.
“Xana was great! We needed her last minute and she responded within 10 minutes of our request. She was friendly, communicative, reliable, and punctual. I would hire again 100%”
