A little bit about me
Hello! I’m Lacie, a 24-year old native San Diegan. I’ve been watching children since I could change my cousins diapers at 12 years old and haven’t stopped since! I worked for a nannying agency for 3 years and helped a ton of families/children before switching to private families in 2015. My experience ranges from 6month old twins to a 17year old with cerebral palsy. I did a lot of extracurriculars growing up so I thoroughly enjoy when the kids I look after have those experiences as well - I’m a total “soccer mom” without the mom part. ;) I’m extremely reliable, quick on my feet and very patient.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Anna, and I'm a 2026 graduate with a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Philosophy with a minor in Spanish. I absolutely love working with kids and have years of experience supporting children of all ages, including neurodivergent children, in educational, clinical, camp, and home settings. I'm passionate about helping kids grow, learn, and play. Outside of school and work, I enjoy spending time in nature, reading, writing, am a bit of a movie buff, and not a hobby but I also love animals. I'm responsible, patient, and creative, and I want to create a fun, safe, and supportive environment for every child I work with.

Hi! My name Sol (legal name: Hailey Gaebel) and I'm a a registered Behavioral Therapist who specializes in working with children and adults on the autism spectrum. I have over 5 years of experience in behavior therapy and over 15 years of experience in caretaking with infants, children and adults. My philosophy centers on creating a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment that fosters independence and curiosity. I believe a combination of routine and novel experiences are what children thrive on. I focus on positive reinforcement to promote learning and teach age appropriate co/self regulation skills to foster safety and emotional regulation. Every child is different and I pride myself on being flexible for both the child’s and parent’s needs.

Hi there,
I am currently working as a live-in nanny and am looking to make a transition at the end of the summer.
My past work and personal history displays a dedication to childcare and children's advocacy. I have worked as a live-in nanny for 2. 5 years now, for families in Italy, London, and Connecticut.
I have worked as a counselor at a kids summer camp, led a kids study group, served at an orphanage in Guatemala and volunteered at a children's health clinic in Uganda. Through nannying, I have gained valuable skills in various aspects of childcare, such as preparing meals and snacks, organizing educational and outdoor activities, helping with homework, encouraging language learning and emotional regulation practice, mediating conflict, establishing consistent routine, helping with bed and bath time, taking the kids safely to and from school and extracurriculars, and generally providing care and support.
I am happy to provide references and a resume upon request!
