"If I was ever going to refer anyone to upcoming nanny positions, it would be Taya. While I was a single mother as well as a flight attendant and had just given birth to twins, she was the most amazing trusting person I have truly truly ever been around. She treated my sons like they were her own, made sure they were fed, bathed, clothed, happy and healthy each day and night she was working for me. The one thing that stuck out most to me was how well she handled the twin boys from the time they were around 12 weeks old until they were 6 months, she took an hour out of each day to do flash cards and sensory with them. Every time she would make a bottle, bathe them, change them, she would talk to them for development and I couldn’t thank her enough. She is truly an amazing person around kids and if I could ever have a chance to pick her as my nanny again I would. If you ever need to reach out to me let me know."

"Maryza knows how to balance being fun and being responsible, making her an ideal nanny. She is full of energy and always has ideas for ways to get the kids outside and moving, which we appreciated! Our kids loved spending time with her. She helped them manage their virtual schooling during 2020 and kept their spirits lifted during rough patches of the pandemic. We were so very grateful to have such a kind and loving person with them. They have MANY fun memories with her! We whole heartedly recommend her. Her positivity is so refreshing--your kiddos will have a wonderful time with her."

"Laura is a fabulous nanny. She became a part of our family and truly loved on our kids. She is the perfect balance between loving and disciplinary. She has lots of energy and took our kids out all the time to get their wiggles out. She also learned all our routines so we didn’t have to keep repeating ourselves. And if we needed something different, she was always willing to oblige. She would be a great nanny for any age."

A little bit about me

Hello, South Bay neighbors! 🌟 I'm Julia, an East Coast transplant who's fallen in love with this community over the past year and a half. With 16 years of experience in animal and childcare, I'm on the lookout for a fantastic family that aligns with my preferred schedule of 20-25 hours, potentially up to 30.
I'm flexible with mid-afternoon to early evening hours, four days a week, and open to adjustments for the right match. For the kiddos, I'm keen on outdoor activities like trails, hikes, and sports-related practices. 🏞️
In the realm of animal care, I'm excited to expand my clientele for dog walks, especially in El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Playa Vista/Del Rey, and Marina. Cats are also welcome in my care! 😺 Creating a positive, engaging environment for both children and animals is my forte. I thrive on connecting them with nature and fostering active lifestyles. Looking forward to connecting with you all! DM for scheduling needs and animal care rates. 🐾

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.
