I started as a babysitter for my little sisters the progressed and worked for my sisters, sister in law and her children as a teenager. I have worked with all ages. I am CPR/First Aid certified and have training in seizures, and have given medications. My personal right and choice is to not be vaccinated but I will wear a mask. I love to cook Mexican food, and all other foods. Light cleaning and making sure the house is tidy is something I naturally like to do. I have my own vehicle, love pets, and the outdoors!! Can't wait to work with you, I appreciate you!!

A little bit about me
Hi families! I'm a caring, responsible, and reliable person who genuinely enjoys being around kids and being part of their growth and development.
I have several years of experience caring for infants and toddlers, and I love creating a loving, safe, and fun environment where children can learn through exploration, reading, arts and crafts, singing, dancing, and more!
I would describe myself as patient, proactive, and attentive to each child's individual needs. I also believe that building a trusting relationship with parents is essential. Open communication means a lot to me, whether it's sharing updates about your child's development or simply telling you about the funny little moments we had throughout the day.
I'm looking forward to finding a wonderful family where I can build a long-term relationship and work together as a team. My goal is not only to support your children's growth, but also to help them become kind, confident, curious, and compassionate little humans.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Los Angeles, CA
Before beginning the search for a babysitter, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a babysitter is the right choice for your child care needs. There are lots of benefits to hiring a babysitter such as getting the flexibility of having some more time for yourself or with your partner. When hiring a babysitter, first, you should explore the differences between a nanny and a babysitter. If you’re looking for occasional child care, babysitters are the right choice for you, but if you’re looking for more frequent care, a nanny may be better for your needs.
From there, you can think about what you expect your babysitter to handle so that you can create a profile for nannies to reach out to you. The boundaries for babysitters’ duties can vary from family to family. However, in general, a babysitter is responsible for making sure your kids’ needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example to housekeeping, laundry, or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your babysitter before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location in Los Angeles can impact how much you pay your babysitter.
Los Angeles Babysitter Interviews
Once you start connecting with prospective babysitters, the next step is to conduct an interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some babysitter interview questions to consider asking:
- Do you have experience being a babysitter?
- What sort of household tasks are you open and comfortable doing?
- Do you have any references?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in California?
- Do you have a California driver’s license? Do you own a car?
- How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a babysitter that you’re considering hiring, make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your babysitter. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around babysitter responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!
And of course, as you learn how to hire a babysitter, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
