A little bit about me
Hi there!
My name is Lyanella, and I'm a reliable, caring, and bilingual babysitter with a background in hospitality and guest services. I’ve always loved working with kids and creating a fun, safe space where they feel comfortable and happy. Whether it’s helping with homework, prepping snacks, or coming up with creative games, I bring a lot of patience, positivity, and energy to every family I work with.
I'm fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to connect with a wide range of families and children. I'm also happy to help with light housework, pet care, or after-school routines as needed. I currently attend college and have flexible availability including weekends.
I'd love the opportunity to support your family and get to know your little ones! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Warmly,
Lyanella Soto

A little bit about me
Hello! I’m an outgoing, down to earth, detail oriented child & pet lover! I began tutoring at the age of 15 for my local elementary school through a program called “Y learning” and found that my passion lies in working with children. I majored in Biology & work as a part time tutor currently. I was let go from my full time nanny job at the beginning of the pandemic & am now looking to spend more time caring for children again. Hopefully I can help a local family find the help they’ve been looking for. I currently have an open availability.
