A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Angelica, and I’m a recent college graduate (Go UC Berkeley Bears!) with a deep passion for working with children. Throughout my academic journey, I’ve consistently sought out opportunities to care for and support kids of all ages—whether through babysitting, tutoring, or volunteering in educational programs. I love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and be themselves.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Julianna Casillas, and I’m originally from Los Angeles. I’m 21 years old and currently a graduate student, having recently earned my Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from California State University, Northridge (CSUN).

For the past five years, I’ve worked as a nanny and have built strong relationships with the families I’ve worked with—I’d be happy to provide references who can speak to my experience.

I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I always strive to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for the kids in my care. Beyond childcare, I’m also happy to help with meal prep and light housekeeping. I genuinely enjoy connecting with children and being a positive part of their day-to-day lives.

A little bit about me

My name is Brooke, and I am 23 years old. I graduated last year with my BA in psychology from Chapman University. I have worked with children my whole life. From the time I was 12 years old I loved helping my mom take care of my cousins when they were babies. That is when I found my love for children and knew any job working with them would make me happy. As I grew older I began to officially nanny and babysit for many families throughout Orange County, I also worked at an elementary school, and I am currently a Montessori school teacher working with preschool children. I am relocating to the San Diego area and would love to find a great family to help out. I look forward to meeting you.
