A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced nanny with extensive hands-on experience, including working in a daycare setting, which has given me a deep understanding of child development, routines, and age-appropriate activities.

I prioritize a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. I focus on supporting developmental milestones through play-based learning, language development, and interactive activities tailored to each child’s needs. I’m also experienced with managing daily routines, including meals, naps, and transitions, while maintaining a calm and structured atmosphere.

Families often describe me as reliable, patient, and attentive. I value open communication with parents and strive to provide consistent, high-quality care that aligns with each family’s preferences and parenting style.

I genuinely enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents, and I take pride in being someone families can depend on.

A little bit about me

Hello my name is Kaylee, I am 25 years old. I am originally from Northern California where I was in a child development program called the APPLE Academy in high school. I attended Santa Barbara City College for 4 years and obtained two Associate degrees in Education and Arts and Humanities. I now live in San Diego and have been here for almost 3 years. I am attending Arizona State University online to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Family and Human Development. I currently work for an extended day learning program at an elementary school and I am CPR certified. I started off as a program leader who works one on one with groups of children and have worked my way up to being the Assistant Site Coordinator. After obtaining my degree I hope to pursue teaching but for now, I’d love to work personally with a family and be able to help in any way that I can. I can assist with any age groups, help with homework, feeding, drop-offs/pick-ups, etc… Please feel free to reach out (:

A little bit about me

I’m an experienced nanny and the oldest of four, with more than a decade of hands‑on childcare under my belt. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to preteens, and even managed a household for three months while the parent was abroad. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, passionate about helping kids learn and grow, and excited to support a family that values kindness, creativity, and consistency. I love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for every child I work with.

I’m also very comfortable around animals — my family has chickens, rabbits, dogs, and cats — so pets are never a problem and always a bonus.

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Sophie, a career nanny and I have a big passion for early childhood education and development. For the past two years I've been a preschool teacher at an inclusion school for neurodiverse children. Prior to teaching preschoolers, I was an RBT but quickly learned that the morals and motives behind ABA and I do not align. During college was when I found my love for nannying and working with big, busy, families that like to go places! For most of my career I have cared for children with ASD and I would consider it my specialty but love working with all neuro types! I truly put my whole heart into everything I do and take my nannying career very seriously!
