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 have both COVID shots and am fully vaccinated. am extremely COVID conscious, and take the safety of all my clients seriously. I will wear a mask around your family, and as that you do the same around me.**** My name is Candie and I have over 20 years of childcare experience. Currently I am a full-time professional nanny for 3 school-age kids, but have experience with all age-groups. I started out watching my siblings, moved onto the church nursery, and the church pre/afterschool center. I have been a live-in nanny and worked with several families as a full-time nanny. I have a bachelors degree and 2 master degrees. Being a professional nanny is my chosen profession and career. I am currently own a consulting agency for all things baby. I am a newborn care specialist, Certified Passenger Safety Technician (CPST), trained postpartum doula, and babywearing educator. I am an active member of the San Diego Nanny Connection, and many national nanny groups as well. I absolutely love taking care of kids and seeing their bright and shining smiles. With infants I am experienced in cloth diapering, breast milk management, vegan/vegetarian diets, sleep training, baby wearing ), feeding, and infant sign-language. For older children, I am experienced in, several discipline methods, planning developmentally appropriate activities, such as letters, numbers, colors, shapes, language development, and pre-reading, and potty training. I am CPR/first-aid certified, have a clean-driving record, and background check, 5 star reviews, and professional references. I can also take care of pets, including feeding, walking, and giving medications. Currently I am available for evening and weekend babysitting. I look forward to meeting some amazing families in the area! *Sitter Policy* - I would prefer a 3 hour minimum - I base my budget on my hours booked, therefore cancellations impact my budget. Cancellations 48 hours in advance will have a 1/2 of the amount of hours booked fee. Cancellations less than 24 hours in advance will owe the entire amount for hours booked. Special circumstances and emergencies of course will be taken into consideration.
Hi! I’m Sydney :) the kind of sitter kids adore and parents trust. I’ve babysat for over 50 families and nannied for 5, from snuggly newborns to too-cool teens (and everything in between). Whether your child is shy, energetic, sensitive, or strong-willed…I meet them where they’re at and we always click. I’m big on fun, but even bigger on safety. I know how to soothe a baby, handle meltdowns like a pro, and keep older kids engaged (yes, even without screens!). I also have experience with special needs, including autism. I show up on time, I communicate clearly, and I’ve been asked back by almost every family I’ve worked with. Most even skip the app and text me directly now! Looking forward to meeting your family and bringing some extra joy (and calm!) to your day. — Sydney 💛
hello! My name is Taylor. I am 26 years old and have over 10+ years experience in babysitting, nannying and day care work with children ranging from infants to middle schoolers. I love being able to hang out with the kids & help them in any way possible! I currently work as a behavior technician with children in schools! As a behavior technician I implement ABA strategies to help children! I’m good at engaging children through multiple activities in order to meet their educational & physical needs. I am CPR certified and first aid certified! I am also fully vaccinated! I am interested in a occasional nannying position. I am located in San Diego! I am able to start ASAP!!
“Taylor is the best. 2 minutes after meeting her I felt so comfortable leaving my 3 month old with her. My daughter had a great time playing with Taylor every day. Taylor really helped us out over a period of 2 weeks where we needed childcare. I only wish we could use her full time. We will definitely be asking Taylor to babysit again!”
Hi parents! I work as a nanny for a family already but would love to talk about occasional opportunities when I’m available! I have experience with working with kids as a babysitter, nanny, respite worker and behavior therapist working with children anywhere from four months old to eighteen years old. I have around 3 years of experience working with kids with developmental disabilities including nonverbal kids with AAC or PECS devices. I’m very outgoing and love going to farmers markets, a park, Legoland (have a yearly membership since I go with my niece so much) or anywhere really! I also love to be at home sometimes to relax and read, build lego sets or participate in creative hobbies! I love doing puzzles, magnet tiles, building forts and basically anything the kids love to play. I have two large dogs and a cat so I’m experienced with taking care of animals and always willing to learn for any other animal to help take care of them! I’d be happy to help with pick ups/drop offs, taking kids to the park or elsewhere and getting to know your kids hobbies so I can make sure to have fun stuff for us to do and talk about while I babysit. I would be open to discussing how I can help you with daily life while babysitting as well! Please feel free to reach out with occasional opportunities!
“Kiara was incredible with our baby. Very attentive to his needs and made us as parents feel very comfortable. ”
