Hi, my name is Amanda Lent. I am a junior at San Diego State University and am studying Communications. I am from the Bay Area. I have worked with kids in the past at summer camps and it was my favorite thing to do! I have a car and driver’s license, so I am able to commute for the nanny position. Some fun facts about me are I have an older sister, I love the beach/outdoors, I love to ski, and traveling is one of my favorite things to do.

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Maria,
I'm a first-year college student who just moved to the U.S., and I’m so excited to start this new chapter! I speak fluent Spanish and English, which helps me connect easily with children from different backgrounds.

I have lots of experience babysitting younger cousins and family members, and I've always enjoyed taking care of kids and being a supportive, positive presence in their lives.

I'm a very active and energetic person—I’ve done dancing, musical theatre, cheerleading, gymnastics, and soccer for most of my life. These are all things I love and would be happy to share with your kids through fun games, activities, or creative playtime. I believe in helping kids feel happy, confident, and supported, especially when they’re having a tough day.

I’m responsible, caring, and always bring a joyful attitude to whatever I do. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and be part of your children’s growth and daily joy!

A little bit about me

My name is Morgan Mills! I am going into my third year at SDSU as a Communication major and I am on the dance team at SDSU as well. I was born and raised in San Diego County and have really enjoyed my time so far at school. I started working with kids through teaching dance and that really sparked my interest in becoming a nanny. When I am not in school, I love working out, going to the beach, hanging out with my friends, and finding new coffee shops to try.

A little bit about me

Hi I'm Mirabelle, I am a student at UCSD about to graduate in Human Biology. I have been babysitting since the age of 12 so I have plenty of experience and used to take care of four kids for one family since they were all babies. I'm super extroverted, love to be creative and love the outdoors. I absolutely adore kids and love to create fun activities for them or simply just play with them. I have watched children as young as 6 months old to as old as 14 years so I am comfortable with any and all ages. I can only do part-time nannying as I am a full-time student and supporting myself through college. With my experience, I would love to take care of your children and for you to never hesitate to communicate with me as I will do the same.
