Hi there! I’m Melody, a former early childhood educator with over 10 years of experience supporting families. I’ve worked as a nanny, mother’s helper, and household manager, caring for children from newborns to school-age. My approach is heart-led, organized, and rooted in creating a calm, fun, and safe environment where kids can thrive. I’m currently a corporate professional in between roles, seeking occasional, one-time, and temporary PT/FT roles while I explore my next long-term career step. Families can count on me for reliability, compassion, and clear communication, whether it’s daily routines, creative play, or bedtime stories. Supporting families has always been at the heart of what I do, and I’m honored to help parents find peace of mind knowing their little ones are cared for with patience and love.

Hello families! My name is Adrina and I am 22 years old. Originally from the Bay Area, I moved here in 2021 for school and currently working towards my business degree (online). My experience started when I was only 12 years old, as I have a younger sister who is now 12yo, as well as 4 younger boy cousins. I was always the trusted babysitter for friends and family 🥰 I am currently working with 3 different families (ages 3 & 5 boys, ages 7 & 9 boys, and 2, 3 & 4 one boy and two girls), but have time on my hands for occasional work. In San Diego I have worked with plenty of families ranging from age 3 months-10yo. I took a break for a little over 2 years as I had a full time job, which I am no longer doing. I am located downtown but willing to drive up to 30 mins as I have a reliable car and clean driving record! I look forward to meeting your families 🤍

Hi! My name is Graciela, but you can call me Ciel (SEE-EL). I have been professionally working with kids ages 22mo to 12 years old for about ~2 years. I am currently working as a Behavior Consultant for kids with autism, so I am confident in taking care of children who display intense behaviors. Some of the responsibilities I can provide include driving children (with provided car seat), homework help, cleaning, making meals, community/public outings, and of COURSE engaging kids! I am comfortable and have experience with taking care of cats and dogs. I myself have a beautiful American shorthair cat who is named Pesto. I look forward to hearing from you, and I can’t wait to meet your little one(s)!

Hey there! I’m a graduate student at pacific college of health and science (acupuncture) but only have classes 3X a week I want a part time I will truly enjoy and I always have fun with kids and pets! I worked at camp James summer camp and at think together an afterschool tutoring program (Santa Ana location). I was a caregiver for 9months my 87 nonna who had two spinal surgeries i gave her showers, helped her walk and made her food and took her out in a wheelchair to her favorite places. I’m also very creative I love crafts, singing, dancing, yoga and going out in nature! I believe in less screen time for hands on engagement.

I am a 25 year old college graduate looking for some night work as I work full time during the day. I have a background in medical, working for 3 years as a hospital corpsman in an inpatient and labor/delivery ward, I am first aid qualified, and I am currently active duty military. My childcare background comes from a mixture of infant care while working labor and delivery and also having 6 siblings (the youngest of which I adopted due to my father’s death). I also have a background in working as a dog trainer (with a specialty in huskies and German Shepards) and am trained in basic pet first aid. While working inpatient, I also dealt with many elderly patients as far as in-unit hospice cases, and I am more than open to helping care for anyone whether they are at the start or end of their life! I only speak English (and some German/Russian for dog training), so households that mainly speak another language likely won’t be a good fit. For any households looking for overnight care, I will set hard return times to ensure I can make it to work by 0700. Please reach out if you have any questions! I’m an open book and know that entrusting someone with those we care for can be stressful.
