Valerie $21 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Valerie, and I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I've worked in daycare settings with children from infancy through age 5 and have also provided private nanny and babysitting care for families. I'm patient, nurturing, dependable, and genuinely enjoy helping children learn, play, and grow. I love creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and parents have peace of mind. I also have three years of experience working as an Activities Aide in a skilled nursing facility, where I supported seniors through engaging activities, companionship, and compassionate care. I'm trained in infant and adult First Aid and AED, have reliable transportation, and am pursuing my education in Child Development. I'd love the opportunity to connect with your family and provide loving, reliable care for your little ones or companionship for your loved ones!
Ines $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi parents! My name is Ines, and I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, starting as the go-to babysitter in my neighborhood back in Germany. Working with kids has always been a natural fit for me. When I turned 18, I spent six months as an au pair in Canberra, Australia, where I cared for three energetic boys between the ages of 3 and 9. I planned and carried out their weekly routines, handled grocery shopping, cooked meals, and supported the family with whatever they needed. This experience taught me how to stay calm, organized, patient, and flexible in a busy household. I genuinely love spending time with children and recently became an aunt. I’ve cared for my baby niece since she was just a few months old, and it’s been such a joy to be part of her early life. I’m originally from Germany, speak fluent English, and I have a Green Card. My American husband and I live in Vista, where I also work part-time in retail. Because of my work schedule, I’m fully available Mondays and Thursdays from morning to evening. A few extra things about me: -I absolutely love animals and am happy to help with pet care. - I have a valid driver’s license and am a confident, safe driver. - I’m an easygoing, cheerful person who laughs a lot and brings a positive, relaxed energy to every home. - I enjoy meeting new people and know tons of card and board games for all ages. - I’m very outdoorsy and active — nature and sports are a big part of my life. I’d love to support your family and get to know your little ones. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
