I have 20+ years in housekeeping and have great reputations with all the people I’ve worked with in the past. Every day I come in with a great attitude and wanting to make my clients day by attending to their housekeeping needs.

“Lupe was phenomenal! We will look forward to working with her in the future!”

Hi! I’m Leslie, I understand how important it is for parents to feel their child is truly cared for. I’m naturally patient, and detail-oriented (comes with being a paralegal) and I bring that same energy into childcare. I love creating calm, safe routines, being attentive to emotional needs, and making sure families feel supported. I’m big on communication, I handle unexpected situations with a clear head, and I genuinely enjoy helping little ones feel secure, understood, and loved. If you’re looking for someone dependable, and easy to work with, I’ve got you!

“Very good with small children, highly recommend her!”

Mia $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mia, and I’m currently a college student in San Diego. I’ve been babysitting and working with children for several years and absolutely love being around kids! I’m responsible, patient, caring, and love keeping kids engaged through games, activities, outdoor time, or whatever they enjoy most. I’d love the opportunity to learn more about your family, your children, and what you’re looking for in a babysitter.

Sheila $23 per hour for 1 child

My name is Sheila ! I am originally from San Francisco California, but currently a senior at San Diego State. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I worked at my school’s child center for both semesters last year. I was placed in an infant classroom where I worked with 10-18 month olds. I have my CPR certification as well. I am willing to do small house chores/ extra home activities but pay is negotiable on that aspect depending on what you’d like me to do.
