A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Sydney! Along with regular babysitting, I have a year's experience at a child care center. There I cared for about 7 children at a time, ages ranging from 4 months to 5 years! I was responsible for creating age appropriate learning activities as well as supervising enriching play time, both indoors and outdoors. I am comfortable working with children with developmental delays, ADHD, as well as other needs and/or requirements. I work part time as a barista in North Park and love to take care of my plants in my free time! I love kids and would love to find a family that I can build a connection with!

A little bit about me
Hi, I'm Eli! Engaging with children has always been a passion of mine; I believe they can teach us so much about curiosity, authenticity, & love. I feel honored to have over 5 years of providing them a safe space to be themselves, while also aiding development of language, emotion regulation, & social skills.
Some of my values are compassion, flexibility, creativity, and education. Something that sets me apart is my background in musical theatre; I include acting, dancing, singing, and imagination when caring for kids (i. e. I'm GREAT at make believe). My favorite activities with kids are playing imagination games, arts & crafts, having fun outside, and anything music, of course!
I've cared for many children ages 2 months - 13 yrs old, and I have classroom teaching experience with ages ranging from infancy to high school. CPR/First Aid certified, good with pet non-smoker, drug & alcohol free. I can tutor, cook, clean, organize, & care for pets. I look forward to connecting with you!

A little bit about me
A bit about me: I am 33 and was born and raised here in San Diego. I’m very active and enjoy photography, being with my family, painting, practicing mindfulness, yoga and am constantly trying to improve myself mentally l, spiritually and physically.
My child care and child education experience first started working as a camp leader for a few years at the YMCA as well as multiple elementary schools. I started off in early education as an aide and I fell in love with toddlers so I went back to school to get my 12 early education units and became a teacher for 2 year olds. During the past 9 years, I have spent hours learning through in person and virtual trainings and workshops to improve my skill as a teacher and child care provider.

A little bit about me
Hi! I am reliable, trustworthy and organized individual. I went to Indiana University to study Elementary Education to further educate myself on young children. I started babysitting when I was 13yr and continued to nanny/babysit through college. A job that sticks out to me the most was during COVID. The ages were 3 months, 4 and 6. I was working 5 days a week cooking, cleaning, laundry, were jobs expected. I followed this family when they moved from Chicago to San Diego to help assist with the move and take care of the children. I believe my best trait is that I absolutely adore children. I have learned a lot through the years and continue to strive to provide children and families with a safe, fun and healthy environment.

Hi! My name is Tristan. I started babysitting/nannying since I was 12 years old. I have a baby of my own, due in January. I would love to find a family who would be okay with me bringing him along with me, with obviously a lower salary to accommodate. Similar to a nanny share!
I have a very flexible schedule, and I am open to negotiating pay and responsibilies. I am also a military spouse so I have base access.

A little bit about me
Hi there! I'm Krissy, I recently earned my bachelor's degree in liberal studies/special education at Cal State Dominguez College. I’m a kind, compassionate, and caring person born and raised in the midwest. Being the oldest of my siblings, providing care has always been a regular part of my life. I've worked as a freelance nanny for 4-5 years and have cared for kids aged 8 weeks to 18 years. I have experience with infants/toddlers and children with special needs. I spent one year and five months working at a private school. Before being promoted to a full-time position teaching physical education to elementary students, I worked as a substitute for about four months and had experience with an early learning center for infants and toddlers. I am CPR certified and fully vaccinated. genuinely love working with young kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach.
