Alexandra P., Child Care in Lawndale, CA 90260 with 20 years of paid experience

I am proactive and attuned to when a baby needs feeding, sleep, a diaper change, a change of clothes, or a change in their environment. 🧡 I am passionate about child development and offer age-appropriate engagement and activities to stimulate their minds and help them develop healthy, secure attachments to caregivers so they can develop confidence and self-esteem. I empathize with children's feelings while upholding boundaries and rules. 🧡 My go-to activities are playing games, singing songs, and being silly. I allow children to naturally warm up to me, but ultimately I know how to connect and relate to them and allow them to feel seen and heard. 🌻 I received my Bachelor's Degree in 2014 from San Diego State University with a B.A. in Pscyhology. I have my Early Childhood Education (ECE) credentials that certify me as a licensed care-giver and pre-school teacher by the state of California. 🌻 I have a car, am a non-smoker, comfortable with pets, and am also okay with taking care of sick children and helping potty train. 🌻 I charge $30/hour and have many references that I am willing to provide. I am vaccinated and willing to run a background check. 🌻 Please message me if you'd like to chat and see how I can offer care for your family!

Charlotte C., Child Care in Lawndale, CA 90260 with 2 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Charlotte and I am a skilled childcare worker with 2 years of full time childcare experience through working 7 summers as a youth sailing instructor. There I taught children ages 5-7 and 8-18 sailing skills by creating an adventurous, educational, and safe learning environment. I have cared for children of all backgrounds, levels of emotional regulation as well as students on the spectrum and have enjoyed my time with them all and have learned much about how to best provide them with education and care. I’ve spent the last 2 summers there as the lead instructor which put me in full responsibility of all the students and staff including any medical paperwork and treatment needed, creating and teaching engaging lesson plans and games, monitoring student interactions and mental health and well as making sure all land and water activities were conducted safely. With this I have gained a great love of working with children and fostering a creative environment that allows children to express themselves freely while enjoying our time together. With this full time care experience I also have some experience of babysitting infants to teens during my middle and high school years and now. With the combination of both that and my teaching experience I think I will be a great fit as your next caregiver!

April S., Child Care in Lawndale, CA 90260 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm new to Sittercity, but not to childcare. I'm a warm, responsible, and fun caregiver with 3 years of experience working with toddlers, children, tweens, and teens. I’ve provided care for families privately as well as through KiddieCorp. I’m German-English bilingual and hold a Master’s degree. Currently, I work part-time as a foreign language instructor and a test developer, and I’ll be starting graduate studies in clinical psychology this fall at Pepperdine University. I genuinely love being a sitter because time with children is time well spent. I enjoy supporting their emotional and developmental growth in meaningful ways. I know how important it is for parents to feel at ease when they’re away, and I’m proud to offer parents peace of mind. My childcare background includes not just babysitting, but also K–12 substitute teaching. I am also a storytime volunteer at the Los Angeles Ronald McDonald House. These experiences have helped me respond with patience, insight, and calm in high-stress or emotional moments—while still keeping things fun, silly, and creative when the time is right! Whether we’re reading books, doing crafts, playing games (I love games!), or simply talking about a child’s day, I focus on being present (which includes being *phone free*), kind, and age-appropriate in everything I do. I’m dependable, respectful of family routines, and happy to help with light household tasks or homework help when needed. I am certified in First Aid and CPR. Minimum Hourly Rate: $25 (applies to all bookings, including recurring jobs) Minimum Booking Time: 3 hours Let me know what questions you have—I look forward to talking with you about your childcare needs! In the meantime, here’s a quick recap: ✅ 3 years of experience with toddlers, children, tweens & teens 🎓 Master’s degree; starting graduate school in clinical psychology (Pepperdine, Fall 2025) 🗣️ Bilingual: English & German 🧑‍🏫 Background in K–12 teaching, language instruction & test development 🧸 Experience in home & event settings, including with KiddieCorp (nationally recognized childcare company) 📚 Storytime volunteer at the Los Angeles Ronald McDonald House 🧘 Phone-free, calm, emotionally attuned, fun, and creative 🧩 Loves games, books, crafts & meaningful conversation with kids 🕒 Available weekday afternoons/evenings & weekends 💵 $25–30/hr (flexible for the right fit) 🚨 Certified CPR & First Aid

Effie A., Child Care in Lawndale, CA 90260 with 10 years of paid experience

I have been a nanny/babysitter for newborns, infants, toddlers, preschool age and elementary school age children for more than a decade. I have multiple experience. I love taking car of children because they remind me of my experience raising my grandsons from birth to school age. My nanny/babysitter job started when my first grandson was born. I retired early from my role as a Payroll Analyst at UCLA Medical Center Financial Services to care for my grandsons (now 9 and 11) when they were born. For seven years, I was their primary caregiver (my daughter and son-in-law are both busy attorneys). I nurtured, played with, cared for, and educated my grandsons in every way, including taking them to enrichment activities and planning every aspect of their day. Both of my grandsons were reading by 3 years old. From potty-training , to baths, tennis practice, swimming classes, to zoo trips, to playdates and then eventually to school drop-offs, pickups and homework supervision, I did it all with great joy. It would be my pleasure to bring the same joy, kindness and care to your child(ren). I was also a full time nanny for a nine months old baby girl from April 2022 - June 2024. I have been occasionally babysitting for three families from 2021 to present. I plan the day to day activities for children in my care. Just to mention a few of the activities I do with babies in my care, I take them to the local library programs; read at least once during the day and at nap and bedtime; potty training; prepare meals and snacks; playdates; birthday parties; playground; a walk in the neighborhood. We have drawing, painting, coloring and writing activities. I plan birthday parties and attend mummy and me two hour classes with baby. (Please refer to my references for testimonies to my work on my profile). I have a Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED Certificate. I prioritize safety of children in my care and take the needs of the child and parents expectations seriously. I am honest, respectful, kind, gentle, caring, energetic, conscientious, loving, calm, attentive, multitasking, intelligent and punctual. I am a non-smoker and fully vaccinated. My next annual physicals is in October 2025. Thank you for reviewing my profile. I look forward to hearing from you . Effie Annor.
