Looking for work as a babysitter or nanny

Meet Lakaiya

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Warm, reliable nanny with 10–15 years of childcare experience, both paid and unpaid, including a strong focus on infant care. I have a background in early childhood education and a deep passion for supporting children’s growth and development. While I’m currently working outside the childcare field, I’m actively seeking opportunities that bring me back to what I love most—nurturing and guiding young children. I provide a safe, engaging environment where little ones can thrive, and I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine care to every family I work with.

I had a sudden family emergency and needed someone to watch my godkids on very short notice. Thankfully, Lakaiya was incredible—she stepped in right away, handled everything with care, and made a stressful situation so much easier. It gave me real peace of mind knowing the kids were safe, comfortable, and in such good hands.
