$26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Megan and I am a Cal Poly student from San Diego. I love being a nanny, and have been watching newborns, toddlers, and kids since I was 14. I worked as a nanny for a family back home for 4 years and they have 4 kids ages 3mo-8. My responsibilities have included school drop off/pickup, helping with homework, crafts, and assisting the parents in any way they needed. I also can help with household work including cooking, cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I am great with pets! I have been described as neat, bubbly, creative, and punctual.

Ella San Luis Obispo
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have been babysitting, house-sitting, and pet-sitting consistently since I was around thirteen. I currently own a horse, a dog, and a cat. I have experience with infant care, but more commonly babysit kids starting at ages 3 to 10. A unique fact about me is that I lived in Haiti for two years with my family, where I was consistently around groups of 50 kids ranging from infants to 13-year-olds, all with different needs. This experience has taught me that every child is different and has made me skilled in effectively multitasking and kindly managing multiple children at once. Lastly, I have my CPR certification, can cook, enjoy creating engaging and educational activities, and have knowledge of child and animal first aid. If you would like to inquire more about my experiences with different babysitting situations, house sitting, and pet sitting, please reach out!
