A little bit about me

My name is Jillian! I'm a dedicated nanny with 2 years of experience providing loving and reliable childcare to children of all ages, starting from 1 years old. I've worked for 2 families and babysat many times in the past two years. I'm passionate about creating a positive and nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to explore and learn. In addition to my hands-on experience, I also have my registered behavioral therapist license which allows me to offer additional support to children with special needs, including those on the autism spectrum.
I provide caring childcare and can also assist with light household chores like meal prep and tidying up to keep your home.
I prioritize communication with parents and provide regular updates on their child's day, either verbally at pickup or through text or phone calls, whichever method they prefer. My educational background includes some college coursework, and I have completed both First Aid and CPR training.

A little bit about me

I am 30 years old and have been married to an amazing man for 3 years. My biggest passion in life has always been taking care of children!
I began babysitting as soon as I was legally allowed, and began nannying at 16 when I switched over to a homeschooling program.
I have experience working with children of all ages and find joy in each stage!
It's important to me to be interactive with them and create a safe, loving, and fun environment when they are in my care.
I believe positive reinforcement is the most effective form of communication. Also with consistent, clear, and predictable discipline to help create healthy boundaries and development.
My relationship with the parents is also extremely important so I can be integrated into the family and know I am helping raise their children in a way that they want. Making every one comfortable and safe is my goal.

A little bit about me

Hello Parents,
My name is Yesenia Villanueva, and I have over 20 years of experience in early childhood education and childcare. My journey began in 2002 when I opened my own daycare while also serving as a foster mom. In 2008, I volunteered at my son’s preschool, which led to a teaching opportunity. Soon after, I earned my Teaching Certificate and dedicated 13 years with Head Start Preschool.

I currently hold an AA in Liberal Arts and Humanities, a Child Development Teacher Permit through the State of California, and a Certification in Infant and Toddler Child Development from MiraCosta College. I am also certified in CPR, First Aid, and Food Handling.

Beyond the classroom, I have worked as a nanny for two families, each for over two and a half years, gaining valuable hands-on experience in providing individualized care. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish and incorporate Spanish lessons into my care to support early language development.

"We are privileged to have Yesenia as our son's full-time nanny and I can’t say enough about what she means to our family. She has such an incredible bond with my son and he adores her and has thrived under her care. Yesenia is both a thoughtful and professional nanny. With her background as a certified child development and preschool teacher she has been able to engage him with development activities as he has gotten older. In addition to providing amazing care for our son, Yesenia takes care of our whole family. She helps with the laundry, cleaning and cooks healthy and delicious meals for my son and the entire family. She is the only person I trust to watch both my kids and has babysat outside her normal hours on several occasions and has stayed overnight with them for a weekend. Yesenia is hardworking, dependable, and caring and we have treasured our time with her. We will always consider her a member of our family and whatever family she works with is incredibly lucky."

A little bit about me

I grew up in Louisville, KY before joining the Navy in 2002, I spent 6 years serving, after 10 years in San Diego, I moved to 10 to Colorado Springs for 10 years exploring life. While obtaining my Bachelor's of Science, Healthcare Administration, I was a full-time nanny for a girl 6, and boy/girl twins, 5, for 4 years. Afterwards in 2018, while supporting a friend attending Colorado State Trooper Academy, I looked after her 17 year old son attending his senior year.

I am fun, down to earth, and love love children. I never had any, but my life has been filled by many. I am wise, in my years, in the Navy, and across the world.

After I can observe others to match their comfort zone, I feel things progress more flawlessly. Children are the future and feel intricate processes will guide the way to purposeful outcomes.

I am here for you

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Samantha, but I go by Sam. I’m 19 years old and have been working with children for about six years. I’ve always had a genuine love for childcare and find a lot of joy in creating safe, engaging, and supportive environments where kids can learn and grow.
I’m currently in the process of moving to California to begin attending community college, where I plan to study finance while continuing to work in childcare. I really value both structure and growth, and I’m excited to build a future that combines education with meaningful work.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, spending time in coffee shops, and anything that feels calm and cozy. I love spending time in any sort of nature! Beaches or mountains... I appreciate it all! I also love being active and staying busy, whether that’s with work, the gym, school, or just everyday life. I’m someone who is dependable, caring, and easy to be around, and I truly enjoy forming long-term connections with the families I work with.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Leslie and I love working with kids! I have a BA in elementary education, so I consider myself to be a teaching nanny. I have ten plus years working with child in various fields from the classroom to people’s homes. I love to not only nurture the child I work with to help them with their development, but also create fun activities that help their intellectual development as well. Since so much learning can occur outside the home, I love to take the kids I work with on all kinds of outings like the zoo, parks, libraries, beaches etc. I am able to do light housework, laundry, simple meal prep, and pick up/drop offs. I am also available to travel with families for vacations etc.My current family is moving out of the country in April. I will be available May 1st. I have excellent references and would be happy to supply them upon request. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

"We found Leslie through a very respected nanny placement service and could not believe our luck. She is kind, patient, highly engaged, and easy to communicate with. She also has an extensive background in teaching and was able to guide us (first-time parents) through child development in a way that gave us immense comfort. Although our son is well within normal ranges for every developmental area, we immediately say positive changes in his speech, behavior, and overall demeanor when Leslie began caring for him. Leslie is a natural caregiver who loves guiding and teaching children. Only an out-of-state move prompted us to part ways. It would be impossible to list all of Leslie’s exceptional qualities. I think the most important one goes beyond her obvious professional qualifications. Leslie has integrity within her that is difficult to find and impossible to teach. I trust her implicitly and felt such comfort allowing her to care for our child and be in our home daily."

How to Find a Babysitter in Oceanside, CA

Nanny Lane is a child care website meant to help you find a babysitter in your area. Our child care services include background checks, a dedicated hiring agent, and payroll.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Oceanside, CA

Before beginning the search for a babysitter, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a babysitter is the right choice for your child care needs. There are lots of benefits to hiring a babysitter such as getting the flexibility of having some more time for yourself or with your partner. When hiring a babysitter, first, you should explore the differences between a nanny and a babysitter. If you’re looking for occasional child care, babysitters are the right choice for you, but if you’re looking for more frequent care, a nanny may be better for your needs.

From there, you can think about what you expect your babysitter to handle so that you can create a profile for nannies to reach out to you. The boundaries for babysitters’ duties can vary from family to family. However, in general, a babysitter is responsible for making sure your kids’ needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example to housekeeping, laundry, or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your babysitter before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location in Oceanside can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Oceanside Babysitter Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective babysitters, the next step is to conduct an interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some babysitter interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a babysitter?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open and comfortable doing?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in California?
  • Do you have a California driver’s license? Do you own a car?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a babysitter that you’re considering hiring, make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your babysitter. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around babysitter responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!

And of course, as you learn how to hire a babysitter, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
