A little bit about me

I'm Addy, a college student majoring in Psychology with an interest in Education. I have over 5 years of various childcare and early education experience including daycare services, being an elementary school TA, a substitute caregiver position with an agency (providing care to relieve permanent nannies and give mom and dad the occasional helping hand)-- and most recently I spent January-July of 2023 with the most wonderful infant who is soon going into daycare. Owing to the opportunities I've been fortunate to have, I have worked with a diverse range of families and children varying in race, ethnicity, age, socioeconomic status, and capabilities. I most enjoy working with infants and toddlers!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jenn. I am an elementary-age teacher and surf instructor from San Diego, California. Currently, I live with my hubby, two dogs and cat in Ocean Beach, SD.

My greatest joys in life are the ocean, my family, health and wellness, being outside in nature, traveling, cooking and journaling. During my free time, I am most likely to be found at the beach walking the dogs, surfing or cooking up something yummy and healthy at home.

I absolutely LOVE working with children and wholeheartedly believe it is my vocation to share the virtues of outdoor play with them!

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 Brice and I am a 23 years old. I have an AA in child development, American Sign Language and Communication. I have been an "official" nanny in San Diego for four years now but I have been babysitting since I was 15. I am CPR, first aid and AED certified. I have worked with kiddos of all ages, newborn to twelve years. I have also cared for twins and groupings of babies! I like to build connections with the families I work with and get to know them as a whole and how they would like their child cared for. I include a lot of creative education during my time with children. I believe that there is always a time for learning and I incorporate it in any little thing we do. Some of my favorite things to do with kiddos is going out to beaches, parks, zoo days, nature walks, etc. Those are amazing ways for children to learn about nature and much more. I am very passionate about children and love being with their bright and happy selves! I would love to be your helping hand!
