Amairani $25 per hour for 1 child

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.

Jorden $18 per hour for 1 child

I’m Jorden! A well seasoned nanny. I have over 10 years paid experience. I’ve worked for LBUSD and Long Beach Parks and Recreation. I also volunteer with my former high school often. When it comes to my childcare career, I have consistently worked for a family with 5 year old twin girls. I have been with them since they were 10 months old. I am no stranger to picking up or dropping off at practice or school. I often sit for other families as well. Most of which have kids at the Belmont Shore KinderCare, Fremont Elementary, Naples Elementary, and Rogers Middle School. I have tons of experience working with children of all ages, as well as working with multiples. I am open to working 10+ hours and overnights. My schedule is extremely flexible and I am also very reliable. I am CPR and first aid certified.

Lily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a babysitter with over five years of experience and just moved to Long Beach from Napa Valley. I am attending Cal State University Long Beach to get my Bachelor's in Interior Design and have a very flexible school schedule. I have worked with families with children aged 1 to 10 years old and aid in household tasks, everyday duties, and schoolwork. I have done both babysitting and nannying, and am very experienced in caring for children of all ages as well as accommodating the family's everyday routine and needs. I am looking forward to meeting more of my new community!

Li $25 per hour for 1 child

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.
