A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Tamah-Jane, and I have over eight years of experience as a nanny and babysitter, caring for children from infants to pre-teens. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I enjoy planning creative activities, encouraging outdoor play, and supporting each child’s unique personality and development.

I am CPR and First Aid certified and have additional emergency response experience from my time as a lifeguard. Families know me as dependable, patient, organized, and calm under pressure. I am comfortable with transportation, pet care, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and laundry.

I value building trusting, long-term relationships with the families I work with and strive to provide dependable care that gives parents confidence and peace of mind.

A little bit about me

My name is rose, I started as a mother’s helper when I was 11 years old, which initially set off my career as a Nanny. I have worked with children from newborn all the way up until 14 years old. I have a clean driving record and I am CPR certified. I take pride to my job and I take it very seriously. I care for someone else’s children, as if they were my own. I enjoy creating fun and engaging activities throughout the day. I also love to adhere to what the parents would like me to engage with their children, but I also take the initiative to do anything household related. If I see something needs to be organized I usually take it upon myself to do it upon condoning the parents approval. I’ve worked with amazing families throughout the years who can speak very highly of my professional professionalism, and speak kindly of who I am as a person.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Vivian. I am a UCSD graduate with a degree in Theatre Arts, but I have spent the past 5 years working in childcare and education. In my free time I like to see shows, golf, and spend time outside. I have a large range of experience in childcare from being a nanny, to an instructional aide, to a substitute teacher, as well as a teaching artist at Trinity theatre here in San Diego.

As a nanny my main three goals are to provide a safe, joyful and structured environment. Every family deserves to see their child flourish and it is an honor to work with families to be a part of that process.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Kristina, with over three years of childcare and babysitting experience caring for children of various ages. I love creating a fun, positive, and safe environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to be themselves.

I also work in healthcare as a licensed EMT, so safety and attentiveness are second nature to me. My medical training helps me stay calm in emergencies, communicate effectively, and provide compassionate care—skills that translate naturally into childcare.

Families describe me as dependable, patient, and easy to get along with. Whether we’re playing games, helping with homework, preparing meals, or spending time outdoors, I enjoy keeping children engaged while giving parents peace of mind. I’m comfortable with pets, have reliable transportation, and am open to travel when needed.

I look forward to connecting with families and providing loving, trustworthy care for your little ones!
