A little bit about me

Hello guardians. My name is Kayla Nicholas, I am 19 soon to be 20 and, I LOVE KIDS!! I have had experience volunteering with my previous churches. I am passionate about helping others and by babysitting/nannying, I am able to help both the guardians and the children. I love to cook (as a picky but healthy eater myself) and clean. I also can help with elementary and middle school homework, love to play, and be active. I am an EMT in New Hampshire and will be certified out here in California mid-March of 2025. I aspire to be a pediatric flight nurse, which means I would be something similar to being paramedic on a helicopter for life flights. I look forwarding to potentially helping you and your family out soon! Remember, "Kay" for kindness.

Hours Notice: My hour are subject to change within the next couple of weeks due to moving, school, and work. I will be diligently checking and updating my profile to reflect what is true to the current time. Thank you for your patience with me :)

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Lou! I am 23 years old. I’m from Kentucky and moved here to San Diego with my husband and our dog in May 2023! My first job was a Camp Counselor when I was 16, in 2017, working with ages 6 years-18 years. I continued working there, completing my last summer in 2021. I loved the joy, laughter, and adventure that came with childcare. For the past year I’ve worked as a Preschool Teachers Aide (Ages 3-6) and assisted in the infant and toddler classrooms as well. I love the opportunity to be a role model and teacher while getting to have fun and cultivate joy! I love to sing, read, and follow the creative lead of the children in my care for crafts, games, or activities.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Ashley — a career nanny with 10+ years of experience caring for children from newborns through school age. My background includes long-term nanny roles, school-based experience, and work as a birth/postpartum doula, so I’m confident supporting both infants and growing families through every stage.

My approach is calm, reliable, and rooted in Montessori-inspired, child-led learning. I love creating structured, engaging days with outings, sensory play, and lots of opportunities for independence and growth.

I’m CPR/First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, and bring a steady, positive presence into every home I work in.

I’m currently based in Massachusetts and open to relocating for the right long-term fit. I’d love to connect!

"If you have the chance to hire Ashley—take it immediately. She was with our family for 3.5 years and became so much more than a nanny. She was a constant, trusted, and deeply loved presence in our children’s lives. Our kids absolutely adore her and still ask for her, which says everything—we continue to use her for date nights because no one compares. Ashley has that rare mix of warmth, intuition, and professionalism. She is reliable, calm, communicative, and incredibly capable. She doesn’t just supervise children—she connects with them, engages them, and truly understands them. Our kids felt safe, happy, and genuinely cared for every day. She made our lives easier in every way and brought so much joy into our home. Finding someone like Ashley is incredibly rare—whoever hires her next will be unbelievably lucky."

A little bit about me

Hello my name is Kaylee, I am 25 years old. I am originally from Northern California where I was in a child development program called the APPLE Academy in high school. I attended Santa Barbara City College for 4 years and obtained two Associate degrees in Education and Arts and Humanities. I now live in San Diego and have been here for almost 3 years. I am attending Arizona State University online to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Family and Human Development. I currently work for an extended day learning program at an elementary school and I am CPR certified. I started off as a program leader who works one on one with groups of children and have worked my way up to being the Assistant Site Coordinator. After obtaining my degree I hope to pursue teaching but for now, I’d love to work personally with a family and be able to help in any way that I can. I can assist with any age groups, help with homework, feeding, drop-offs/pick-ups, etc… Please feel free to reach out (:
