Hi! I’m Lydia, a stay at home, homeschooling mom of three teens. I am offering consistent childcare as well as spontaneous for date nights, emergencies, etc. A little about me and my family…We are a retired military family and are home a majority of the time. Our oldest two kids are twin boys who are now 17, so I have plenty of experience with twins ☺️ We also have a 14 year old daughter! Your little one is welcome in our safe and loving home anytime you need to be away!

Karla Springfield
$18 per hour for 1 child

I started out as a nanny when I was 19 and worked with all ages for many years. I loved being a nanny! Those are some of my favorite years! I have also worked with a school district in Southern California for many years (off and on) with special needs students, specializing in autism. I have done office work also, but most of my career has been with children. I also have two boys of my own, who are now 32 and 28. I also have seven young grandchildren, who are all in Southern California. I just relocated to Springfield to start a new chapter in my life and am looking for part time work. I would love to get to know you and work with your family.
