Alexa $25 per hour for 1 child

I come from a strong caregiving and service-oriented background, and I naturally step into nurturing, responsible roles. I have experience caring for children of various ages through babysitting and nannying for friends, family, and private households. This includes preparing meals, helping with homework, creating engaging activities, maintaining routines, and ensuring a safe, positive environment. In addition to childcare, I’ve also supported seniors by assisting with daily tasks, companionship, organization, errands, and light household duties. I understand the importance of patience, clear communication, and emotional awareness when caring for others, and I take pride in being dependable and attentive. I’m also a longtime pet owner and animal lover, with hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic care, maintaining cleanliness, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m calm, patient, observant, and highly responsible. I’m someone families trust quickly because I’m reliable, organized, and emotionally intuitive. I’m very attentive to routines, boundaries, and instructions, while still being warm, playful, and engaging. I’m great at reading a child’s needs whether they need structure, encouragement, or creative play and I adapt easily to different family dynamics. Beyond direct caregiving, I’m very comfortable with household services such as light cleaning, laundry, organizing, meal prep, errands, and maintaining an orderly home. I’m proactive and detail-oriented, so I don’t wait to be told what needs to be done I step in where help is needed. Overall, I bring a combination of trustworthiness, emotional intelligence, and genuine care. I treat every home and family with respect and always aim to make life easier, calmer, and more supported for both parents and children.

Booked by 3 families in El Monte, CA

Hello, my name is Lauryn and I am a Freshman at Cal State University of Fullerton. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and have been watching over infants, toddlers, kids and recently newborns as well! Many responsibilities I have had include driving to/from places, making crafts, tutoring, and even art lessons. I also work as a daycare/preschools aide at local schools for the childcare career program. I will also be willing to be a household assistant to run errands, laundry, organizing and clean as well. Additionally, I have pet sit many times with dogs, cats, and rabbits. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, and playing with animals. One issue - I have trouble with large, loud dogs, but I’m happy to work with quieter dogs or any other animals.
