A little bit about me
Hi! My experience in caregiving started in high school where I cared for infants, babies, and children while going to school. I then began my nanny career at 19 when I began nannying for a 4 year old boy who I adored. I still keep in touch with his family and have had the privilege of seeing him grow. After that I worked for a non-profit organization called the ARCC Center Foundation where I cared for infants, children, and adults with special needs. There I gained experience in administering medication and received training in seizure procedures. It was a wonderful experience. I decided I wanted to go back to working with individual families and got a job as a nanny for a beautiful one year old little boy. I am First-Aid/CPR/AED and as stated earlier, I have training in seizure procedures and experience in administering medication. I can't wait to meet you and your little bundle of joy!

Hello, thank you for for taking the time to view my profile! My name is Grace, and I am looking for a full-time nanny/family assistant position for the [phone number hidden] school year in the San Diego area (I am located in north Mission Beach and willing to commute up to 40 min). I have completed 12 units of ECE and this year I will be a junior transfer in a fully online B. A. program for Early Childhood Development through California State University, East Bay, so my schedule is very flexible. I currently live in the South Bay and care for a family in Manhattan Beach with 3 children ages 9, 9, and 6. Duties include pickups from school, transportation to and from all activities and appointments, meal and snack prep, errands, dishes, laundry, etc. I love my current position and would love to find a similar position with more hours (I am comfortable working up to 45-50 hours on long weeks, 35-40 hours regularly). I am CPR + First Aid certified, have reliable and insured transportation, as well as a clean driving record, and swim instruction/lifeguard experience. I have experience with multiples, children with special needs (autism), and learning disabilities.

A little bit about me
I graduate from college in December 2026 and I am looking for a job that I will enjoy and find meaning in. I have worked as a gymnastics coach, lifeguard and camp counselor for the past five summers and I love it! I love to work with children, I find it very rewarding and I would love to continue positively impacting the next generation. I have worked in numerous environments with children, all of which I have enjoyed! One of my favorite parts of working with kids is watching them grow into their personalities and discover their interests. I love to provide them the opportunity to pursue what they enjoy and learn and try new things.

A little bit about me
Hi neighbors! My name is Dorandra Savellano, I’m 21 years old. I was born and raised in Guam and moved to the States when I was around 6–7 years old. I have 8+ years of babysitting and nanny experience and truly enjoy working with kids of all ages.
My experience started when my mom ran a daycare, and I helped her from the age of 13 caring for children from newborns to 10 years old. I’ve also helped raise my two younger sisters (ages 6 and 11) and regularly babysit my nieces and nephews, including an infant and a 5-year-old, so I’m very comfortable with all age groups.
I’m reliable, patient, and love keeping kids engaged with activities like crafts, reading, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I always make sure kids feel safe, happy, and cared for.
I also offer dog sitting if you’re heading out of town—I’ve got you covered!
I have references available upon request. Feel free to message me if you’re looking for a babysitter or need extra help. I’d love to help out your family!

"My kids love Sofi! Sofi is the kindest and sweetest. She helped with my kids while I had to work. I was nervous at first finding someone to trust with my kids but soon realized I had nothing to worry about with Sofi. She stared with our family when my kids were 4, 6 and 9. She formed relationships with each of my kids and took such good care for them. I highly recommend Sofi!!"
