A little bit about me
Hi everyone! My name is Libby, and I’m a 21 year old senior nursing major at USC. I have eight years of experience nannying and babysitting for kids of all ages, from infants to middle schoolers. Throughout high school, I nannied for a family of six, primarily caring for their elementary school aged kids. And throughout college I have cared for many toddlers. I also have lots of baby cousins/nieces and nephews ages 4 months to 4 years old, so I'm very comfortable with kids of all ages.
I have plenty of references, so if you'd like contact info, I'd be happy to send it over!
My schedule is flexible and whether you're looking for a regular nannying schedule or just an occasional sitter for date nights, I'd love to help out!
I'm extremely dependable and responsible. I've been working one or two jobs since I was 16 and have never called out or been late. Most importantly, I love kids and would be excited to get to know you and your family!

A little bit about me
Supporting others has always been a deeply rewarding journey for me, allowing me to form genuine connections and provide care during some of life’s most delicate moments. Over the years, I’ve built a wealth of hands-on experience, from babysitting and assisting children to caring for individuals with special needs and providing home care for the elderly. My expertise spans both physical and emotional support, whether through nurturing a child’s growth, g-tube feeding, wound care, or managing other specialized medical needs. Alongside technical proficiency, my training and dedication enable me to prioritize safety, encourage independence, and create an atmosphere of comfort for those I care for. Whether assisting children or adults, knowing that my efforts positively shape someone’s life brings me a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Sadieya (Suh-DIE-yuh), but everyone calls me Sadie. I’m a full-time college student USC. I’m a music major, planning to become a voice teacher and teach young children how to sing. I come from a big family so I grew up babysitting. I love children; they’re my most treasured passion. I have several younger cousins whom I thoroughly enjoy taking care of. Because of how many children I’ve babysat previously, I learned the importance of being fully engaged with children when you’re caring for them, which is exactly what I promise to be. I’m also incredibly conscious and passionate about nutrition, and I’m aware that each child will have their own necessities in the nutrition aspect. Thank you!
