"Leslie has worked with our family as a nanny since 2022. She began when my eldest was only six months old. Leslie has been an exceptional presence in our home—loving, reliable, and hardworking.
She is warm, nurturing, and attentive. Leslie is also remarkably dependable. She is punctual, organized, and always willing to adapt to our schedule.
Both of our children (now 2 and 4) adore her, and their affection for her speaks volumes about the positive, loving relationships she has built with them."

"As a parent, I have had the pleasure of witnessing Talia’s (Lia) remarkable qualities firsthand. Lia has been an invaluable part of our family, and I cannot speak highly enough of her dedication, compassion, and genuine love for children. Lia consistently demonstrates empathy and kindness towards our children. She is attuned to their emotional needs and ensures they feel safe and secure.
Our kids eagerly await her arrival because they know it’s time for adventure and play. Whether it’s imaginative games, outdoor activities, or creative crafts, Lia infuses joy and excitement into their days.
Her affectionate nature is evident in the way she interacts with the children. She reads bedtime stories, cuddles them when they’re upset, and provides a nurturing environment. It’s as if she has a magical connection with infants. Babies respond positively to her soothing presence.
Lia is reliable, punctual, respects our family values and consistently goes above and beyond."

"It’s my pleasure to recommend Jessica Ponce, who cared for our three children (ages 18 months, 3, and 5) with warmth, professionalism, and consistency. Jessica handled daily routines including preparing breakfast, packing lunches, and getting each child to their respective schools on time. She is bilingual in English and Spanish, which added a wonderful layer to our children’s learning and communication.
During school holidays and vacations, Jessica provided full-time care—planning thoughtful outings around Los Angeles and preparing all meals. She kept our kids engaged, safe, and happy with a mix of creative activities and outdoor adventures.
Jessica was also our trusted babysitter for date nights. She is incredibly reliable, punctual (never once called out), and responsible. Her calm demeanor and natural connection with children made her an invaluable part of our family.
We highly recommend Jessica to any family seeking a dependable and caring nanny."

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.
