Meet college nannies and sitters from California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo

Hello! My name is Bela, and I am a new college graduate, home for the summer looking for occasional babysitting/nannying &/or pet sitting opportunities! Whether it be watching your kiddos while you’re out for a date night, or keeping them busy during the day crafting, spending time outdoors, making them meals, or picking them up/dropping them off at Summer camps and daytime activities I’m open for it all! As I heads up, I have some days this summer where I will be out of town as I am moving out of state in the beginning of September! I have many years of experience babysitting and pet sitting and can provide references and a background check upon request. And as an avid animal lover (with 5 pets of my own and graduated with an Animal Science degree), I have also worked as a Veterinary Assistant for many years, so I also have a background caring for pets if they have any additional care requirements. Additionally, I am fluent in Bulgarian, and beginner-intermediate in American Sign Language. I love engaging with children in arts and crafts projects to keep them entertained with educational and fun activities that promote creativity, and spending time outdoors! In addition, I am also capable of preparing meals if necessary. My goal is to create a fun, and positive atmosphere where kids can have fun and feel as engaged as possible! Above all I prioritize the safety and well being of the children and animals that I care for. I look forward to the potential opportunity to meet your family! References can be provided upon request! 😊

Hello there! I'm a recent graduate from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where I majored in Food Science. I've returned to my hometown of Marin and will be here for the foreseeable future. Kids and animals hold a special place in my heart, and I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old. With years of experience, I've learned how to create a safe and nurturing environment for children of all ages. I love the outdoors, whether it's a trip to the park, a nature walk, or a fun outdoor game, I'll make sure your children are entertained! One of the advantages of my current situation is my highly flexible schedule. I'm here to accommodate your needs and ensure a stress-free experience for you and your family. I am looking forward to whatever opportunities arise! Feel free to reach out at any time!

Hi everyone! My name is Kate and I'm a recent Cal Poly graduate with over three years of experience caring for children ages 1–15. Most recently, I spent the past year as a nanny for two children (ages 11 and 14), helping with school pick-ups, homework, transportation to sports and activities, errands, meal prep, and creating fun, engaging experiences throughout the week. I'm dependable, energetic, reliable, and love building strong relationships with the families I work with. I'm also comfortable with light household tasks and have my own car. I have 2 dogs and a cat myself, so I love being around pets! Fun Fact: I was on my college dance team for 4 years! I've danced and been active my whole life, so I like to engage kids in that as well. I also have two younger sisters. I'm looking for part-time work any day of the week, ideally on a consistent week-to-week schedule. And I can also do night time for date nights, a night out, etc. – whatever you need! I can provide references upon request. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Hi❣️ I hope you are well! 💐 My name is Jessica. I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced childcare provider with a B.S. in Psychology and Child Development from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I previously studied finance and engineering before realizing that my heart and strengths are truly in working with children and supporting families! 💗 I’ve worked with children for many years in both private family and school settings, including as a nanny and babysitter. I also spent a year as a program coordinator at Cove Elementary, leading enrichment programs for K-4 students in everything from financial literacy and sewing to gardening, circuits, and hands-on creative projects. I genuinely love working with children of all ages, with an especially natural connection to ages 1-5! I love creating a warm, engaging environment through outdoor adventures, imaginative play, reading, creative activities, and developmentally appropriate learning with no screen time. What I value most is becoming someone a family can truly rely on. I care deeply about the children I work with, and find a real sense of purpose in supporting the whole family system, not simply providing childcare. I’m happy to help with meal preparation, outings, errands, light household tasks, and keeping things organized :) I’m CPR, First Aid, and AED certified and take safety, reliability, and communication seriously. I especially love building lasting relationships with families and would be thrilled to connect with a family looking for consistent, recurring care! Hope to meet you 💌

Hi! My name is Merritt and I am 24 years old and recently moved to SF. I am an experienced nanny and childcare provider with a B.S. in Psychology and a minor in Child Development from Cal Poly SLO. I also hold a valid CPR & First Aid certification, as well as having access to my own vehicle. I am skilled in supporting the needs that are necessary for the development of a healthy and thriving child, and I have experience working with children and teens of all ages. I pride myself in being able to create safe, engaging environments for kids to learn about themselves and the world through patience and play. In addition to working as a babysitter and a live-out nanny, I've worked in preschool and elementary classroom environments, I've worked as a private second language tutor in Argentina, and I've worked 2 summers as a camp counselor. Through working in both educational and mental-health focused roles with children, I've strengthened my abilities to remain calm, attentive, warm, focused, and communicative across all situations. I love caregiving for children because it allows me to tap into my personal childlike self, and create meaningful relationships that are mutually beneficial and FUN! Recently, I just finished my job working for a traveling farm-to-table event production company that heavily exposed me to the culinary world. Through this job + on my own personal time, I have started to fall in love with cooking and have heavily strengthened my culinary skills. I love to share my cooking with others and would love to cook for your family! Please do not hesitate to out with any questions. I look forward to connecting and hope I can be a good fit for your family!

I graduated in 2024 with a degree in Liberal Studies, with a strong focus on education and child development. I currently work as an English Literacy Interventionist, where I support students in building reading and writing skills through personalized, engaging instruction. I bring over 6 years of babysitting experience, along with 1.5 years working in a daycare setting caring for both infants and toddlers. In the daycare, I was responsible for supervising up to four infants or six toddlers at a time, ensuring a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. My experience extends beyond traditional classrooms, as I’ve worked in a variety of nontraditional teaching and caregiving settings. This has helped me become adaptable, patient, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I prioritize creating a safe, educational, and fun environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and confident relying on me as a trusted adult. I also have experience caring for both dogs and cats during babysitting jobs and genuinely enjoy being around pets.

Hi Families! My name is Jordan and I have a Bachelor's in Child Development from Cal Poly SLO! I have lots of experience working with all kinds of children of different ages, needs, and abilities. I have worked part-time at 1 day care and 2 private preschools in San Luis Obispo as a teacher, with children ages where I worked with 4 months-4-years-old. I am currently working as a student teacher for Cal Poly SLO’s Multiple Subject credential program, as well as babysitting/nannying, face painting, and tutoring! I love the water and know how important it is for children to connect with the outside and how to stay safe. I love making and teaching different crafts and hobbies like painting, jewelry making, etc. I am very creative and love to show kids how great expressing yourself through art can be. I involve problem solving, behavior development, and vocabulary enrichment into my work! I also have a good understanding of the different needs and developmental stages some children are at and that every child is unique. I can adjust to any environment and can be a nurturing but also assertive nanny/babysitter. I am certified in CPR, lifeguard safety in AED and first aid, and pest management around children. I am also a California Child Abuse Mandated Reporter. Feel free to reach out! I have a packed resume, and I really, really love working and connecting with kids!
