Booked by 2 families in Sunset Beach, CA

Hello, my name is Lacey and I am a second year in college and CSU Long Beach majoring in Public Health. I have always had a passion for working with kids, which is a big part of why I want to become a pediatric PA in the future. I have two nieces and three nephews of my own from infant to 4 years, and spending time with them and babysitting them has given me a lot of hands on experience caring for children of different ages and personalities. I have also babysat for other families with kids who are older ages and really enjoyed creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them to be in. I would describe myself as patient, responsible, and energetic. I love being creative, playing games, and being outside to have fun, but also love a movie night once in a while. I can do anything from cooking a meal, maybe not gourmet, but something balanced and sustainable and even helping with homework, especially in math and science. I have previously been CPR certified although it recently expired, but I am working on getting certified again! I am also a big animal lover and have four dogs and a cat of my own, so I am completely comfortable caring for pets too. I also have my own reliable car, so I can provide transportation if needed and am also willing to drive the family car if preferred. Overall, I am a dependable and caring babysitter who love making sure kids (and pets!) feel safe, happy, and are well cared for.

Kaylee $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kaylee, and I recently graduated from an esthetician program. I currently work at a gym and have over two years of experience working in daycare, caring for children from 4 months to 13 years old. I truly enjoy working with children of all ages and creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for them. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and happy to help with playtime, meals, homework, and daily routines. Outside of work, I have three Border Collies and love taking them to the park and on walks. I also love dog care and house sitting, and I am very comfortable caring for pets while their families are away. I also have personal experience caring for my grandparents, but my main focus is providing dependable child care and pet care.
