Booked by 13 families in San Ysidro, CA

Hi my name is Amanda, I’m 29 years old. I’m the oldest of four. I joke I’ve grown up with a baby on my hip for as long as I can remember. Early Childhood Education is my passion. I’ve been working with children at different capacities for the last thirteen years. Most of my work with children involve babies 2 weeks to 24 months, however I have experience with all ages. I have worked as a one on one nanny, in a childcare center. Most recently I work at the YMCA as a lead of the Child Watch center for the last four years. I enjoy the challenge and journey of helping a child grow and helping to shape their minds. I’m very caring, present and quick thinking. I’m CPR and first aide certified, I renew every 2 years.

“Amanda was early, kept great communication before meeting me, and was very professional and great with the kids. I would hire her again and I highly recommend her.”

I am 19 years old and just graduated high school. I am bilingual in Spanish and English. I love working with kids especially with the small ones. I am energetic when I play with them. I’m always willing to play with them whether it’s playing dressing up or fake cooking or even running around to chase them. I have been volunteering at church with the kids for two years. I worked at a daycare for the two years as a teacher helper. I did an internship being in a kindergarten class as an aid for the summer 2025 and 2026. I have a CPR/AED online certification. I am looking to work as a babysitter in the weekdays and weekends. I also have my drivers licenses. You can send me a message if you have any questions!

Booked by 1 family in San Ysidro, CA

Hi! My name is Wenddy 💗 I’m a mom of two (my kids are now older), so I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children. Most of my childcare experience comes from raising my own kids and helping care for children within my family over the years. I really enjoy creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and cared for like family. I also have caregiving experience, including caring for my grandmother, who has since passed and is now in heaven 🤍 That time in my life deeply shaped my patience, compassion, and the way I care for others with kindness and respect. At this time, I’m only available for occasional babysitting. When I do care for children, I bring a warm, calm presence and always treat them with genuine care and attention. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and very caring. I take trust seriously and always show up with heart and responsibility. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), have a Live Scan background check, clean driving record, reliable transportation, and I’m fully vaccinated. I would love the opportunity to support a family who needs occasional, trustworthy care 💗

“Enjoyed using Wenddy. I would use her again.”

Maliyah 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Ysidro, CA

Hi! My name is Maliyah Domingo! I am an 18-year-old college student at Grossmont College. As the oldest of three siblings, I’ve spent much of my life helping care for younger children and understand the importance of patience, communication, and consistency. Caregiving has always been a passion of mine that has motivated me to go to school for nursing. Services that I offer include infant care, toddler care, senior care, care for multiple children, after-school care, homework help, meal and snack preparation, bedtime routines, diaper changing, housekeeping, arts and crafts, outdoor activities and play, sick childcare, and a drivers license for transportation. I have taken care of all ages whether that’s for family, friends, or at the nursery of the church I attend. I also have been taking care of my great aunt with Parkinson’s for almost a year now. I help take care of her at least once a week as well as take care of the infants at my church. During my time at Helix Charter High School, I have earned my Medical Assistant Certification, which gave me valuable healthcare knowledge and experience working responsibly with others. I am also CPR certified so you can feel confident knowing your children will be cared for by someone who is attentive, dependable, and committed to their safety and well-being. I’m available everyday except for Monday and Wednesday from eight am to twelve thirty pm because of school. I strive to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow.

“Maliyah was great and my daughters loved spending time with her”

Summer $22 per hour for 1 child

I volunteered at a daycare for one year, where I assisted in caring for children ages 2–4. My responsibilities included supervising activities, helping with meals, supporting nap time routines, and reading to the children. This experience helped me develop strong childcare skills, patience, and the ability to create a safe and positive environment for young children. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from San Diego State University (SDSU) and am also comfortable caring for animals. I have previously completed CPR training; although my certification recently expired, I am willing to renew it before providing care for children or seniors. I am highly patient, dependable, and an effective communicator. In addition, I worked as a Shift Supervisor at KFC for eight years, where I independently managed shifts and was responsible for team leadership, conflict resolution, staff coordination, and delivering excellent customer service. This role strengthened my organizational skills, leadership abilities, and sense of responsibility. With extensive experience in the food service industry, I am knowledgeable about food safety regulations, proper food handling and preparation procedures, and maintaining high standards of cleanliness and sanitation.
