A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Anaiis and I’m an American childcare professional with a strong background in Psychology and Education. I studied at FOS Friedberg in Augsburg, Germany, where I earned my Abitur with a focus on child psychology and pedagogy.

I’ve cared for children of various ages — from infants to school-aged — for multiple families in Germany and the U.S., and I truly love creating nurturing, structured, and joyful environments that support each child’s development. I’m bilingual in English and German, CPR certified, and hold a valid American driver’s license.

Families describe me as warm, patient, and dependable, and I take pride in helping children feel safe, confident, and curious about the world around them.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is DJ, and I am a dedicated and responsible 28-year-old childcare professional in Los Angeles. With a strong background as an Applied Behavior Analysis therapist and a certified Medical Assistant, I bring a combination of behavioral support, developmental insight, and rigorous safety awareness to every family I work with.

As a nanny, my goal is to keep children active, and safe through a well-rounded daily routine. I love organizing enriching activities for each child's age and interests, such as interactive learning games, arts and crafts, outdoor playtime, and reading sessions to foster early literacy. I also handle everyday caregiving essentials with ease—including preparing healthy meals and snacks, managing homework and tutoring time, scheduling structured rest or nap times, and maintaining a tidy, organized environment. I am deeply passionate about creating a nurturing, structured, and fun atmosphere where children can truly thrive and feel completely secure.

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.

"I absolutely loved having Geane as my baby's caregiver! I felt so lucky to have her looking after my little one. •She always showed up on time. •Whenever I needed her to show up early or stay late, she was happy to accommodate. •She cooked all meals and made sure that my little one was well-fed. •She was amazing at reading my baby's sleep cues and knew exactly when it was time for a nap. •She was so patient and would allow my baby to contact nap, sometimes for more than an hour! •She took care of my baby's laundry as well, washing, folding, and putting away. •Most importantly, I could tell that Geane took real joy in her responsibilities. She loved spending time with my baby and was always so patient, kind, and caring. •My baby absolutely adored Geane. I could tell that he felt safe and happy in her care. Overall, I cannot recommend Geane enough. She is an incredible caregiver who truly goes above and beyond to make sure that both parents and babies are happy and well-cared-for."

How to Find a Babysitter in Los Angeles, CA

Nanny Lane is a child care website meant to help you find a babysitter in your area. Our child care services include background checks, a dedicated hiring agent, and payroll.

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.
