I have nearly three years of babysitting experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. (Im currently working in Hospitality in Marina Del Rey as Front desk) I’m a patient, dependable, and caring person who truly enjoys spending time with kids and supporting their growth in a safe and nurturing environment. I’m knowledgeable about basic child safety practices and CPR/first aid awareness, and I always prioritize children’s well-being and comfort. I keep kids engaged with creative play, reading, outdoor time (if parents allow it) , and simple learning activities. Happy to help with simple meal prep for children, homework support, and light tidying related to the kids. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and believe communication with parents is very important. I make sure families feel comfortable and confident knowing their children are being cared for. Happy to work with you.
Hello! I am a PhD Student in Sociology, where I focus on the sociology of childhood and education. Beyond my research, I have had lots of experience working with kids - casually as a babysitter, but also more formally at a variety of summer camps. I am new to Los Angeles (from London, England) and have enjoyed exploring all the wonderful parks and enjoying the sun. Hope I can do more with your child(ren) sometime soon :)
“Kids immediately warmed to Lara and had such fun playing with her! Will definitely hire again. ”
Hi! My name is Tranell. I am caring, reliable, detail oriented, patient loving person, who overall enjoys helping. I recently graduated MRI school. I understand routines, patience, and creating a safe, calm environment for children. I have hands-on experience supporting autistic children, which has taught me the importance of consistency, understanding, and individualized care. I’m very detail-oriented, patient, and compassionate, and I always prioritize safety and clear communication. I’m comfortable with pets. I am also very knowledgeable, wise and helpful in many areas. I would love to be a help to you, as a support system would. I genuinely love being a woman families can rely on. I believe children thrive when they are surrounded by a strong, caring village, and parents do too. I understand how demanding parenthood can be, and I’m passionate about helping create smoother days and a supportive environment for the entire family. I’d love to support your family with reliable, attentive care you can feel confident about.
Hi there. My name is Lainey! I have 5 years of nannying experience and 8 years of babysitting experience. I have worked with children of all ages, and have been told that I am a great tutor for elementary and middle school aged children. My longest term nannying job was for a family with an ADHD child, so I also have experience with children who need extra attention. I recently left my corporate job to pursue work I’m passionate about, and that has led me back to childcare! Overall, I am a curious, compassionate, sometimes-funny person who enjoys working hard and finding joy everywhere I can. During two days of my week I am in class, but I have open availability in the mornings and most afternoons :) I have a license, a reliable car, zero speeding tickets, basic first aid knowledge, and solid cooking skills. Please reach out to me with any additional questions or requests for references! :)
Hello, I’m Meriam! I’m a 26 year old woman living in Playa del Rey. I recently moved here after finishing school in Michigan. I have experience babysitting my nieces and nephews from their diaper days all the way into their teenage years. I love being in the company of children and understand the importance of having warm, positive, considerate role models around. I’m more than happy to accomodate any special needs and to help with school work and studying. I also have experience housesitting for family members and family friends, as well as dog walking! I have a dog and two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with pet personalities, feeding times, ailments, etc. I’m very detail oriented, patient, and empathetic. I value clear, professional communication and maintain high respect for all children, adults, and homes. I’m highly punctual and understand the value of your time! My work background mostly consists of restaurant service, administrative office work, and creative marketing. I’m happy to handle a number of household chores while I’m watching over your child(ren), as well as feed them pre-made meals or snacks! But, I am unable to meal prep or cook family size meals myself, due to strong personal preferences. I spend most of my free time studying for the LSAT, attending fitness classes, reading books, creative writing and drawing, and exploring the beautiful nature and city scenes California has to offer! :) Looking forward to discussing your family’s needs and seeing if I may be an ideal fit.
