A little bit about me

I am a loving mother and the oldest daughter in a family of seven children. I have 30+ years of experience, caring for and teaching children of all ages, including twins and large groups. But my true love is working with infants, especially preemies!


As a professional musician and teaching artist, I incorporate music and storytelling into my work. I feel it is integral to development of language and emotional intelligence. I bring my heart with me to work always!

I am recently recertified in CPR and pediatric first aid. I have my own car with a third row seat and a great driving record.

I am currently continuing my education and music for children through the Music Together program, which focuses on your training for the infant to five-year-old age group.

In the past, I have worked in the afterschool programs in Culver City, school District, teaching music and movement. This means that I was vetted by the city with a background check and live scam fingerprinting.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Channell Arteaga, I am a 24-year-old college student at the California State University of Northridge. I graduated from Pierce College in Spring 2020 with an AA in CSU General Education-Breadth certification, AS-T early childhood education, and an AA in General Studies. Before COVID, I was a teacher assistant volunteering at Nestle Avenue Elementary School in their daytime Preschool Program for two semesters. I am the oldest of 6 siblings, so I grew up having to learn how to take care of children since the age of 11. Because I had to grow up so young I never got the opportunity to work in my field. I had to work a 9 to 5 until I was able to move out. Now that I am settled, I am more than ready and motivated to work with preschool-aged children. Thank you for this opportunity have a great day!

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.
