A little bit about me

I’ve always loved working with kids and have over 3 years of babysitting experience caring for children of different ages. Babysitting has taught me how to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while staying patient, responsible, and adaptable to each child’s unique personality and needs.

I’m also a proud mom to my 4-month-old baby girl, so childcare isn’t just something I do, it’s my everyday life! From bottles and bedtime routines to tummy time, playtime, and lots of cuddles, I’ve gained hands-on experience with infant care while learning the importance of consistency, compassion, and positive role modeling.

Whether we’re doing crafts, reading stories, playing games, or encouraging curiosity through everyday adventures, I love helping children feel happy, confident, and cared for. My goal is always to be a positive role model who makes every child feel safe, supported, and excited to learn and grow.

In this position I would prefer if my daughter could come along!

A little bit about me

My name is Diana. I'm looking for a full-time or part time nanny job. I'm open to doing extra hours babysitting during the weekends or for date nights. I’m located in Rancho Pe;asquitos and I'm willing to drive 15-20 miles.

I have 6 years of experience working with newborns up to 15-year-old kids. I'm a native Spanish speaker and am happy to teach if needed. I also have intermediate English skills.

I worked in this country as an Au Pair for two years. During that time, I took care of babies ranging from 4 months old to 2 years old.

Since I finished my program, I have been working taking care of multiple kids at the same time and of all ages.

I used to live with my nephew and niece from when they were newborns until they were 5 and 6 years old. I helped raise them, doing tasks like feeding, potty training, bath time, preparing meals, bedtime, and activities to help them grow up in a safe environment.

I'm a very active person, so I enjoy doing activities outside with them.

A little bit about me

Hello,
I’m Sam and I have been a nanny/babysitter for over 12 years. In between being a nanny, I was a preschool teacher, and went to school to obtain a degree. I also have experience in coaching, and volunteering at church with kids. I have a passion with playing with children, teaching, nurturing, and caring for children. I believe playtime is critical for a child’s development. I do not allow screen time when a child is under my care, unless it’s a special occasion and approved by the parents. I am experienced in light house cleaning, travel nanny, overnight babysitting, cooking, shuttling children to activities, doctors and dentist appointments, and have no problem learning new tasks. I hope to talk with you soon!
