A little bit about me…
Hello I’m Siya Garadi! I’m 21 years old and I graduated college last year. Growing up in San Diego, I’ve always enjoyed the constant sunshine. I like to spend time outdoors with my dog, and I enjoy doing pilates throughout my week. I also love being around children. I’ve always felt very connected to them, so while I was in college, I joined my university’s babysitting club. I’m also Red Cross Certified (CPR/AED/First Aid) and I have my own car and a clean driving record. I also love organizing, and can help out with light housekeeping/mealprepping and errands if needed!

Hi! I’m Mia Foncerrada, I’m 19 and a sophomore at Point Loma Nazarene University studying Child and Adolescent Development. I’ve spent over 20 hours doing fieldwork at our on-campus daycare with kids ages 3–5, which I absolutely love!
Outside of school, I’m a water polo coach and have been coaching for over a year with athletes from 10U to 18U. Working with kids in both classroom and sports settings is truly my favorite thing. After college, I hope to become a Child Life Specialist while continuing to coach youth water polo part-time!

A little bit about me…
Hi! I’m a senior at UC San Diego studying computer science with multiple years of childcare experience caring for children of different ages and needs. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids, including supporting a child with autism, and I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once.
I’m responsible, patient, and very safety-oriented, and I enjoy keeping kids engaged through play, outdoor activities, and creative games rather than excessive screen time. I’m also happy to help with meal prep, light cooking and cleaning, homework support, and driving kids to and from activities when needed.
I currently have a flexible schedule and am looking for both occasional babysitting and more consistent nanny roles. I take pride in being dependable and communicative, and I always aim to create a positive, fun, and supportive environment for the families I work with.
