A little bit about me
Hello families! My name is Kelsey, and I'm a 28-year-old San Diego native who loves working with kids. I've spent the last 10 years gaining experience in a variety of different teaching and child development jobs. I've worked as a swim instructor and camp counselor, a live-in au pair in Madrid, a costume character/activities coordinator for a super hero-themed pediatric dentistry, a face painter, and a preschool teacher in a toddler room. While working at the preschool, I became certified as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and am currently employed as a clinical supervisor in an ABA center. I have a bachelor's degree in Human Development from CSUSM and a master's degree in Special Education (Applied Behavior Analysis) from ASU. Child development is a passion of mine and I enjoy getting to develop relationships with the families I work for. I am naturally very silly, gentle, patient, and creative. I am CPR and first aid certified and have my COVID vaccine and booster shots.

Greetings & Salutations!
My name is Syd, and I have been caring for young children since I was a kid myself! I have been in the childcare field within licensed centers since 2015, and have always had a passion for being an active participant in the development of young children and providing compassionate support to ensure their success and happiness as they grow into their own little humans! I have been working as a head infant teacher at a child development center in the Fremont neighborhood for the past four years, and am now looking for an environment that allows a bit more one on one focus with the kids in my care. I'm excited to start this new period in my professional life with you and your family!

A little bit about me
Hi there! My name is Madelynn. I just graduated nursing school and want to specialize in pediatric oncology. I love helping out parents by caring for their children and helping parents to have some time to themselves. I would describe myself as a pretty outgoing individual. I have been a camp counselor through my church for many years and have become quite good at dealing with children. I love coming up with fun little games to play, exploring the outdoors, watching movies, and making memories. If given the opportunity, I would love to help out with any housekeeping around the house, meal prepping or other light chores.

Nanny Lucas
"Lucas is calm, kind, responsible, and so great with the kids — they have so much fun playing with him and immediately felt comfortable around him. The fact that he is majoring in nursing is an added bonus and gives us extra peace of mind. He is dependable, easy to communicate with, and creates such a positive, relaxed environment. We absolutely recommend him to other families!"
