A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Emily and I've been a professional nanny for the last 4 years.
I have a Bachelor's of Science in Child Development and Family Relations. I also have a year of preschool teaching experience and have completed a 20 hour intensive workshop for Newborn Care Specialist training. I am adult and infant CPR certified and have a driver’s license with a clean driving record.
I can prepare meals, snacks, and bottles. I can clean and organize the house, help with sleep training, potty training, and can drive children to and from appointments, school, and activities.
I absolutely adore children. I believe they are little scientists exploring and learning new things every day. I love being able to care for them, teach them, and guide them as they explore the world around them.
Some Fun Facts:
I love music and am a musician. I play the flute, piccolo, and ukulele.
I have two little sausage dogs; Leia and Ahsoka.
Some of my hobbies are: roller skating, crocheting, reading, hiking, and yoga.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Maikah Brackett. I absolutely adore working with kids as well as their families. I am fun, loving, interactive, engaging, calm, and practical when it comes to working with kids. While nannying, I helped (age 6) with his school work, played out doors with him, made crafts, bathed him, read to him, took him to the park, and put him to sleep. In addition, I cooked dinner for him and tidied up the house afterwards. In addition, I nannied to twin girls everyday of the week during the summer and created a forever bond with the girls and their family. Overall, I am looking forward to furthering my involvement and love for kids by working with you! I hope to hear from you soon!

A little bit about me
I love music, cooking and gardening and I love doing crafts and DIY. I’m always making up songs to help my babies learn various things and I love writing kids stories and storytelling. I’m learning how to do voiceover work and am in the process of developing a kids series on social media that reaches all kids and touches on a variety of topics. I really love cooking and I’m always implementing learning in the kitchen with children to teach basic mathematics and to help kids develop their palates. I love incorporating mindfulness and positive redirection and other regulation techniques to foster better communication with children. I have basic ASL pretty much mastered and have found it useful to help babies communicate effectively, so I’m learning more advanced ASL practices. These are just a few of the things I’m passionate about!

A little bit about me
Punctual, organized, and can provide structure. I have experience caring for newborns to teenagers. For the little ones, I’m comfortable changing diapers, feeding, bathing, and bed time; potty training, reading, singing, playing, going on walks, etc. With older children, get ready for school, meal prep, take to/from school, homework help, bath/bed time; games, puzzles, arts and crafts, outdoor play, etc. I have cared for those with special needs. I’m comfortable with light housekeeping. I’ve worked as a paraprofessional for the Turlock Unified School District for 5 years both as a substitute for head start and preschool, and in an autism preschool classroom.. I nannied for various families before that and would make myself available for after school care, date nights, weekends, and as needed while I continued working at the school. At the end of the day, nannying is more than a job. I’m there to open my heart, hoping to make a connection and be a part of that child’s life.

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Olivia. I am a quiet, respectful and responsible 25 year old. I have recently moved to Huntington Beach, my Fiancé and I are working to establish ourselves here. I’ve always felt like I was a part of the families I have babysat/nannied for. I’m hoping to find that here. I have had many babysitting jobs through out high-school and some college. The babysitting job that lasted the longest was for a set of twins, one boy and one girl. I babysat for them from 5 years old until they we’re turning 13. I babysat for them twice a week plus special occasions.

A little bit about me
Hi!
My name is Jas Sanchez and I’m a junior at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise here in DLA. I am offering child services as well as any household services that may need to be done as well!
Although it’s just my brother and I, I grew up around a big family. As the oldest grandchild of 20, with cousins who all range between the ages of 2-18; I took up many responsibilities which included picking up/dropping them off to school, tutoring during homework, and just being someone they can look up to, count on, and always come to for advice. It takes a village to raise a child so it’s always been second nature to look after and take care of one another.
I am very patient with children of all ages and disabilities, and am very understanding, open and willing to learn any guidelines, rules, concerns or specific instructions that parents may have.

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.
