Hi! My name is Xitclali or Lali whichever you prefer! I’m 24 years old and work as a Behavioral Aide for an elementary school. I’ve been working around kids for about 7 years. I absolutely love it! I am here to help with any homework needs or just to keep company and help around. I have also worked as a care taker for about 6 months. I can help with things around the house, errands and keep company. I am very friendly, respectful, responsible, empathetic, kind and fun! :)

Booked by 1 family in Lomita, CA

Hello! My name is Savannah, and I am a Child Development student at California State University Long Beach, with a passion for special education and supporting neurodivergent children in their development. I previous worked as a part-time nanny for a two child household, with a 10m infant and a 3 year old child. I worked with them until the oldest was 5 years old, and I handled bedtime routines, bath time, meal preparation and feedings, bottle sterilization, diaper changes, and play-based learning to support developmental goals. I also work as a behavioral technician, where I work with neurodivergent children ranging for 3 years old to 16 years old. I use hands-off behavioral intervention techniques to build emotional regulation skills and work to replace adverse behaviors (hitting, spitting, self-injury, tantrums) with healthy coping strategies. I enjoy working with children of all ages and abilities, with a focus on supporting developmental goals through play-based learning. I am also CPR/AED/First Aid certified through the Red Cross, so you can be assured that your child will be safe with me.

I am a compassionate and dependable caregiver with extensive experience supporting children, and pets. Over the years, I have helped families with childcare, and pet care, always focusing on creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. With children, I bring patience, creativity, and consistency, helping with daily routines, homework, and activities that keep them engaged and learning. In addition to direct care, I am highly organized and detail-oriented, assisting with household needs, errands, and keeping things running smoothly.

Savannah $22 per hour for 1 child

I am a college student majoring in Psychology and currently pursuing certifications as a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). I have recently completed a CPR/AED certification course and have more than three years of experience providing childcare. My experience includes babysitting, pet care, cooking, and performing basic household responsibilities such as cleaning and laundry. I also have professional experience as an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Behavior Technician, where I worked with individuals on the autism spectrum, including individuals who were nonverbal. This experience strengthened my ability to provide attentive, compassionate, and individualized care. I enjoy working with children and take pride in creating a safe, supportive, and responsible environment. I understand the importance of maintaining awareness of children’s whereabouts and well-being at all times while ensuring they feel comfortable, cared for, and respected.
