A little bit about me

I am committed to providing exceptional care and guidance, I am very glad that new parenting methods have come, practicing active listening and communication/ positive language /learning boundaries through redirection, because I have seen these methods make such a difference in children but also on the way the whole family can interact for the rest of their lives.

I have experience, patience, and energy. Every day I like to come up with fun and smart ways of playing and teaching. I rather have a screen-free household therefore all day about play, creativity, learning, and exploration.

I have a nutrition degree and I would come up with plenty of meal ideas for all the family. I can always cook and/or precook (for you to have less to worry about when dinner time is coming).
I like to share and discuss the rules day by day with the parents. I'm so excited to find the family that matches me.

From day one, she built a beautiful connection with our daughter, creating a safe and nurturing environment where, learning, play and joy are part of everyday. She’s patient, proactive and always engaged. She’s been a wonderful communicator with us as parents and consistently goes above and beyond. We wholeheartedly recommend Gaby to any family.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Azilee, but I go by Lay. I have over 8 years of babysitting experience and 5 years of professional nannying experience, caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I grew up in a military family, which allowed me to travel often and taught me adaptability, responsibility, and the importance of structure and routine from a young age. I have one sister, and being the older sibling helped shape my nurturing, patient, and protective nature.

I’m experienced in supporting daily routines such as school drop-offs and pick-ups, meal prep, homework help, bedtime routines, and planning age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and creativity. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to each child’s individual needs while creating a safe, structured, and loving environment. I value building strong, trusting relationships with families and strive to be a positive, supportive presence in both the children’s and parents’ lives.

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.
