Hi! My name is Chloe Layne, and while this would be my first official babysitting job, I have plenty of experience caring for children through helping with my younger siblings. From entertaining them with games and activities to helping with homework and bedtime routines, I’ve learned how to be patient, responsible, and attentive.
I truly enjoy spending time with kids and creating a safe, fun environment where they can feel comfortable and happy. I'm eager to bring that same care and energy to your family.
I’m available any day of the week except for Sundays, and I’d love the opportunity to help out with your child’s care. Thank you for considering me!

Hello!
I am a 29 year old woman who lives in San Diego! I have worked with children and kids my whole life in many ways. Whether it was babysitting or nannying, or working at the pediatrics office at the front desk. I have always found joy in being around children! I love going outdoors, being creative and having fun. I have been married for 3 years and with my husband for almost 10 years. I have a cute cavalier King Charles spaniel, and a tabby cat. They are my fur babies! I find joy in being at the beach, hiking, rock climbing and spending time with my husband, family, and friends.

Hi! My name is Lucy, and I am a recent high school graduate who is looking to work over the Summer before I leave for the University of Oregon in the fall. I absolutely love kids, and I have two younger siblings of my own. I have been babysitting since I was 13, and am comfortable with children. I love everything sports, and although I'm not the most artistically gifted, I also love trying out art projects and crafts.
