Meet college nannies and sitters from University of California San Diego

Hi I am Fausto! I have a BS in psychology from UCSD. I currently work as a paraprofessional in a TK classroom and previously worked as an RBT for a year and a half. I’m patient, calm, and very comfortable aiding children with a wide range of abilities and needs. I have a cat of my own and love dogs too, so I’m happy to help with pets as well!

Hi families! My name is Allena and I’m 22 years old attending UCSD. I have been nannying and babysitting on and off for about 7 years now. I’ve done occasional babysitting for family and friends and I have worked in a Kids Club at a gym. I’m experienced with children aged 3 weeks to 10 years but my area of expertise is with infants and toddlers. I have experience with diaper changes, formula prep, bottle feeding, nap times, changing, driving children, and watching multiple kids at once. I am also CPR and First Aid certified! I love lending a helping hand to families and creating a fun, loving and safe space for children’s growth. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi - My name is Jade and I am offering child care and senior care. I love working with kids, I worked as a behavior technician in home for ages 4-14 and an instructional aide in a middle school. In both settings, I organized games and activities like crafting and assisting with school work. I was also an in home caregiver for a family friend's parents and currently work as concierge and an activity assistant at a senior living facility. I can do household chores, clean, run errands, and drive to appointments.

Hi families! My name is Isabella and I truly enjoy caring for kids of all ages. I have 4+ years of experience in client-facing roles where communication, patience, and responsibility were key, and I bring those same skills into childcare. I’ve babysat for friends, family, and neighbors, and I love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for little ones. I studied International Business in college, but I’ve always been drawn to caregiving because of how rewarding it feels to help children learn, grow, and feel cared for. I’m reliable, energetic, and love keeping kids engaged with games, crafts, and activities — not just screens. Parents tell me they appreciate my positivity, punctuality, and the peace of mind knowing their kids are in good hands. Outside of babysitting, I enjoy fitness, music, and spending time with my friends and family. I also have experience caring for pets, so I’m comfortable in households with furry friends. I’m excited to meet your family and provide trustworthy, dependable care whenever you need it!

Hi, I’m Justine (Jeemin is my Korean name). I’ve spent many years living and working inside family homes—as a nanny, a mother’s helper, a household manager, and a personal chef. My love for children has always felt very natural to me, and I followed my passion by studying Early Childhood Education while earning my B.A. in Psychobiology at UC San Diego. During that time, I lived with a professional athlete and cared for his family and baby girl who was born at just 27 weeks. For almost 5 years, I was by her side after she faced six strokes and many developmental challenges. I learned, in a very real and personal way, what it means to show up every day with patience, curiosity, and love—and how constant learning, training and devoted care can help a child grow and thrive. I view my true value as providing full family support. I’m very comfortable stepping into the real, everyday rhythm of a household: early mornings, laundry, dishes, AM/PM routines, last-minute changes, and everything in between. I take a kind, clear approach to childcare: safety first, connection over correction and empathy always. I stay current on modern child development practices and am especially interested in music therapy, physiotherapy, emotional literacy, and play-based learning. In simple terms, I care about how a child feels in their body and heart, not just what they “do” in a day. I'm also a Naturopathic Cook and have been entrusted to prepare nutritious meals for children & entire households.

Hi everyone! My name is Cauanny and I just recently got accepted to UCSD to finish my studies in clinical psychology! As a previous after-school kindergarten teacher, I grew my experience with children as little as Pre-K to 6th grade, and also with different behaviors and spectrum placements. I was the lead kindergarten teacher who ran my own classroom as well as created the curriculum taught M-F. I genuinely love to work with children and strongly believe that teaching a child with love and patience is the ultimate key to seeing growth. I come with several references, and have spent lots of time babysitting, volunteering working in school environments, having experience with the elderly as well as having my own two younger siblings whom I helped raise. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me! I look forward to potentially working together and being part of the day to day of your family :)

Hi there my name is Aprilenise and I have always loved being around kids and interacting with kids. I am a fun, energetic, loving, patient and responsible nanny with 11 years of experience with all age ranges, including newborns. I strive to build trust and comfortability with both children and parents as I believe it opens the door to better communication, understanding and happiness all around. I come from a big family and I have always been around kids. Fun little fact, I am the oldest of 7 kids and my youngest brother and I have the same birthday and are exactly 20 years apart. I am currently in school working to get my bachelors in Psychology. I love pets, they are like family. Also, I love baking!

Hi, I am a current clinical psychology doctoral student at Palo Alto University-Stanford PsyD Consortium. I have previous experience working with kids at a summer camp as well as teaching English to school age kids. In my free time, I enjoy basketball, photography, reading, and quality time with loved ones.

Hi! I'm Lia - A trusted and experienced caregiver with a lifelong connection to child development and family support. While I currently work full-time as a personal and executive assistant, I have years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages - from newborns to school-aged kids, and I continue to offer part-time babysitting for select families. My experience extends beyond direct care. I’ve worked closely with high-profile families and have successfully screened, hired, and managed home staff, including nannies, personal chefs, estate managers, and other household personnel, for celebrities and professional athletes. Before fully establishing my career, I spent years as a nanny and family caregiver, including extended time caring for infant twins and supporting a family with triplets. My love for working with children started early as I was the go-to “baby whisperer” in my large family, helping care for more than 10 younger cousins and relatives. I studied psychology with a focus on child development in college, originally planning to become a child psychologist. Though my career path shifted, my passion for nurturing, structure, and supporting children’s growth never changed. I'm trustworthy, professional, reliable, and intuitive with kids and always happy to jump in for evening, weekend, or occasional care when my schedule allows. Whether you're looking for a sitter you can trust or a seasoned professional who understands discretion and the unique needs of high-profile households, I’d love to connect. Fun fact: also a notary and huge animal lover especially dogs.

I have 9 years of experience working with toddlers ages 1 to 5. I started at The Growing House, a Montessori preparatory preschool and daycare, where I built deep expertise with this age group. I love making learning fun, fostering creativity, and supporting emotional growth, and I can also help older kids with most school subjects, including math and science. I create a nurturing, safe environment where children feel supported and genuinely seen. I give real one on one attention and I’m very hands-on, so you’ll rarely see me on my phone. I encourage kids to play and interact at their age level, and I meet them where they are. For the past year, I’ve worked with a family caring for their 14 year old. I pick her up from Arlington High School, bring her safely home, and help with her outside activities, homework in math and science, and pet care for their two Aussiedoodles, including hour long daily walks. Beyond childcare, I’m a safe and reliable driver. I have a superior driving record with no accidents or tickets over the last 15 yrs and I use FasTrak for easy commuting. I’m also comfortable with healthy meal prep, grocery errands, and light household help. I completed my college education at UCSD, and I’ve been a primary caregiver for my own parents. I’d love the chance to meet your family and learn more about what you’re looking for. My hope is always to become a trusted extension of the household, someone your children genuinely look forward to seeing. Looking forward to connecting soon.
