Hello Parents! Your children's safety is my priority. I am CPR/AED certified and I have a Bachelor's Degree. I have experience babysitting kids (newborn to 12 years old) + I have a daughter, too! I look forward to hearing from you.
“Julie was great! She jumped right in with our 3 year old & 6 month old, and managed bedtime with ease. We would be happy to book with Julie again in the future 🥰”
Hi, I’m Summer! I’m a preschool teacher and artist who absolutely loves working with kids. I’ve been caring for little ones since I was 15, from tiny babies to big kids, and I’m CPR, First Aid, and TrustLine certified. When I’m not in the classroom, I bring the fun to birthday parties as a face painter and balloon artist — so you can count on me to keep kids entertained with creativity, play, and lots of laughs. I love painting, singing, dancing, and exploring nature, and I enjoy sharing that joy with the children I care for.
“After Sky left my son lovingly said about 10 minutes later I wonder how she is doing...that shows you how much fun they had. ”
I am a credentialed Special Education Teacher and private tutor with thirteen years of teaching experience. I have worked with kids with a range of needs, and specialize in students with learning disabilities, ADHD, ASD, and 2E children. I have also been a sitter and nanny for many more years. I have significant experience with kids from newborn infants through high school age. As a sitter, I’m incredibly attentive and engaging with kids. I love to read with them, play games, do arts and crafts, play outside, and cook/ bake. I’m a great cook, and am happy to do meal prep services in addition to childcare as well. I have a B.A. from UC San Diego in International Relations, and a Master's Degree from CUNY Brooklyn College in Special Education. In my free time, I love to cook and bake, create pottery, spend time outside and on the water, and travel to new parts of the world! Cancellation Policy: If bookings are cancelled by the parent within 12 hours of the start time of the booking, I charge a fee of 50% of the total booking to help offset the loss of wages on short notice.
“Meagan was amazing!! Seamlessly jumped in and the girls immediately took to her. She covered for our nanny for 3 days for our 4 yr old and 1.5 yr old and I would use her again in a heartbeat. She is warm, loving, energetic and kept everything super tidy. 10/10, thank you Meagan!! ”
