Find an emergency babysitter in Lawndale, CA

My name is Shay, and I’ve spent over 10 years caring for children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers—both in the U.S. and overseas. I’ve taught English through my church, helped care for children within my own family, and supported new mothers as they adjusted after welcoming their babies. I’m a caring, patient, and reliable babysitter who loves creating a safe, calm environment for children. I’m attentive, nurturing, and respectful of family routines, and I’m happy to help with playtime, meals, and light tidying. I take children’s safety and parents’ trust very seriously and am open to occasional or regular babysitting.

My name is Nancy. I am the first born daughter of 8 children. I’ve been helping my mom take care of my siblings which have built the foundation of my profession. I’m currently a preschool teacher and have previous experience with being a substitute teacher for about 6 years. Through substituting, I was able to obtain a lot of my professional experience. I’ve been to a vast amount of daycares where I got to see and learn different learning styles in children as well as different approaches to learning and teaching children to achieve their milestones. I’ve been in a classroom where I’ve had to potty train and can say I was able to learn a few techniques. I’ve also been “long-term” in some sites where I was able to grow a bond with some of the children and celebrate their success. I do have a sibling with Asperger’s autism who is 15, so I have some experience with children on the spectrum.

I am a Chinese–English bilingual storyteller at the Palos Verdes Peninsula Library with over eight years of experience working closely with young children and their families. I have taught at Palos Verdes Nursery School, South Bay Montessori School, Nihao Chinese School, and Bilingual Brains Early Learning Academy. I specialize in designing and leading highly successful “Parents & Me” programs, helping infants and toddlers feel safe, connected, and confident in their earliest social experiences. I genuinely love children and find deep joy in caring for them. I have extensive hands-on experience babysitting infants, toddlers, and school-age children, including twins. My responsibilities have included school drop-off and pick-up, arts and crafts, tutoring, and introducing children to Mandarin in a playful, nurturing way. In addition, I have experience caring for my own grandparents and am comfortable providing senior care, including cooking, driving to appointments, and offering thoughtful daily support. I am patient, attentive, and naturally nurturing, and I take pride in creating a warm, safe, and loving environment for people of all ages.

Hi! My name is McKenna, and I have a strong passion for working with children and supporting families. I worked at Build-A-Bear Workshop for a little under a year, gaining hands-on experience creating fun, engaging, and positive experiences for kids of all ages. I love being a positive role model and bringing a warm, encouraging presence into every environment. I am very energetic and naturally adapt to each child's personality and energy level. Whether that means keeping up with active play or creating calm, structured moments, I can meet kids where they are. I am also very patient, understanding, and attentive, which helps me build trust and strong connections with both children and parents. I have experience working with a wide age range, from 1 to 17-year-olds, and I value open communication with families to ensure the best possible care. I am currently in school studying to become a child therapist, so I am especially passionate about emotional support, development, and helping children feel safe and understood. I am very creative and imaginative, and I love coming up with fun activities, games, and ways to keep kids engaged and happy. I am also more than happy to provide a reference from my time at Build-A-Bear Workshop!
