Lainey $28 per hour for 1 child

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! :)

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 1 family in Dodgertown, CA

I have 10+ years of experience for newborn-11 years old, have a PhD in engineering, tutor/professor experience, and am BLS, CPR, and NREMT certified. I’m a fun, reliable, and caring babysitter who loves working with children of all ages—from tiny tots to teens! Whether it’s bedtime stories, overnights, or busy after-school evenings, I’m here to make your routines smoother and your kids feel safe, happy, and loved. 💕 I’m all about creating engaging educational activities, and am also happy to cook, help tidy up, and keep things running smoothly so parents can relax knowing everything’s taken care of on date nights out of the house!

“Jamie took wonderful care of our toddler. She was able to watch him, take him to the playground, feed him dinner, do bath time and put him to sleep to allow us to have a relaxing date night. She shared pictures during the whole time and sent updates. She is wonderful with kids and we will hire her again! ”
