A little bit about me

Hi!

I'm a kind and outgoing childcare provider with over three years of experience caring for children from 6 months to 10 years.
I have a Masters in Fine Arts and have worked at a child development center, where I gained valuable experience in early childhood education.

I'm passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children to learn and grow. I believe in fostering a child's natural curiosity and creativity through play and exploration. I'm also skilled at teaching children important life skills, such as problem-solving and conflict resolution.

I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and following the parents' lead. I understand the importance of open communication and will keep parents updated on their child's day, as well as any issues that arise.

I'm fluent in English and Portuguese and I'm happy to help with carpooling, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision. I'm also willing to cook and prepare meals for the children.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Cassiana, and I’m currently a student at UC San Diego, where I’m balancing my studies while working at UCSD Health. I’ve always loved working with kids and have had lots of hands-on experience—I’ve helped care for my younger cousins and I’m very involved in raising my 9-year-old sister. I have given swim lessons to toddlers as well as swim coach.These experiences have taught me how to be patient, attentive, and creative when it comes to keeping kids happy, safe, and engaged.

Before working at UCSD Health, I was a lifeguard, which is how I became CPR-certified. That role taught me to stay calm in emergencies, think quickly, and prioritize safety—skills I continue to carry with me, especially when caring for children.

I’m dependable, nurturing, and fun, and I love helping kids learn, play, and grow. Whether it’s doing homework, playing games, making snacks, or just being a positive presence in your child’s day, I’d love to be a part of your family’s support system.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jessamine. I have been working with children for over 10 years. I started as a volunteer at my community center and that’s when I found my passion with education. I worked in a home daycare for 3+ years old. We cared for infants, toddlers and children ages 4-5. During this time I learned a lot about nutrition and time management due to the different age groups. After that I started working with families as a nanny. As a nanny I love to help with homework, create activities and help with errands. I enjoy doing sports, arts and crafts to make the day fun. I am very flexible with schedules and I adapt quickly.

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Camila, and I’m 22, almost 23 in March. I’m engaged and getting married soon! I’ve always loved taking care of others, since I was a kid myself. I’ve been a nanny, caregiver, and babysitter for family, friends, and others since I was 18. On Sunday mornings, I teach and care for the children’s ministry at church. I’m also working full-time at an elementary school, helping children of all ages. I really enjoy what I do and feel proud of my role in helping young people grow and thrive. I’m moving from BayPark San Diego to Rancho Bernardo, so I’m also looking for a new full-time job where I can do what I love. :)
