A little bit about me
I am 20 years old, I love working with kids, I grew up with a very big family and I was the eldest so I took care of my baby cousins until I moved out. I love reading, working out, and staying active 24/7, especially going on nice walks or even just cleaning and staying at home and watching a movie. Safety for me is a huge factor so I always try to make the right decisions before taking action on anything.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Jasmin, and I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have been babysitting for family and friends for about 4 years, caring for children of different ages and helping with things like meals, activities, playtime, and keeping them on their routines. I also have experience working as a paraprofessional with students with special needs, which has taught me to be patient, understanding, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, dependable, and always make sure to follow parents’ instructions and communicate with them. I’m not CPR or First Aid certified at this time, but I take children’s safety very seriously and would love the opportunity to help your family!

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Veronica, and I have been working with children for over 10 years. My career began as a teacher's assistant and assistance to teachers working with special needs students when I was in high school. As a result of my love for working with children, I started working for the girl scouts, after school programs, and babysitting. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in sociology from SDSU. As of right now, I am looking for another incredible family to work with. I had previously found a family here on Sittercity who I've worked with for over 6 years and counting. Both kids have grown up which means they are more independent and they do not need me as often. I have reliable transportation and a clean driving record. If you have any questions or need references please feel free to ask!

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.
