Jordan San Luis Obispo
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families! My name is Jordan and I have a Bachelor's in Child Development from Cal Poly SLO! I have lots of experience working with all kinds of children of different ages, needs, and abilities. I have worked part-time at 1 day care and 2 private preschools in San Luis Obispo as a teacher, with children ages where I worked with 4 months-4-years-old. I am currently working as a student teacher for Cal Poly SLO’s Multiple Subject credential program, as well as babysitting/nannying, face painting, and tutoring! I love the water and know how important it is for children to connect with the outside and how to stay safe. I love making and teaching different crafts and hobbies like painting, jewelry making, etc. I am very creative and love to show kids how great expressing yourself through art can be. I involve problem solving, behavior development, and vocabulary enrichment into my work! I also have a good understanding of the different needs and developmental stages some children are at and that every child is unique. I can adjust to any environment and can be a nurturing but also assertive nanny/babysitter. I am certified in CPR, lifeguard safety in AED and first aid, and pest management around children. I am also a California Child Abuse Mandated Reporter. Feel free to reach out! I have a packed resume, and I really, really love working and connecting with kids! Please message me and I can give you my contact information! Thank you!

Hi! I’m Becca! First and foremost I’m a mom and I love it! When I was a new mom & needed help, I felt overwhelmed trying to find the right fit of personality, values, & skills needed for a positive experience for all involved. Eventually, I left my corporate sales job in 2019 and put my passion for early childhood education and my degree in Communication Studies to use and began offering private nanny care and parent consulting services. I currently part time homeschool my 12 year old son and am available to care part time for your little one. Ideally, I’d love to support a family needing interim or part time care for their infant, toddler, pre-schooler. I hold my CPR/first aid certification & background checked/certified with Trust Line. I’m a former SpEd Para w/SLOCUSD. I’ve completed many professional and community courses (with CAPSLO for example) to better serve our community. The local families I’ve been privileged to work with are glad to provide a reference and insight to you on my positive & (even quirky) skills & traits at your request. I’m big on compassionate & supportive communication. Some of my favorite go to’s on child development come from professionals such as Magda Gerber, Robin Einzig, Janet Lansbury, Louise Bates Ames, & Dr. Ross Green. I am playful and silly, loving and kind, active and caring, and hold consistent and clear boundaries respectfully. I know quite a bit of American Sign Language (completed multiple levels through college courses over the years) however, I’m not fluent. I am comfortable using sign language with anyone who is already signing to communicate or teaching what I know to kids or families to help them communicate better. A typical day under my care involves morning greeting/connection routine, playtime and snack, reading and art, nap, lunchtime and adventure or park play, etc. (flexible but just an idea). I enjoy taking the little’s I’m caring for to library story times, different kid friendly adventures around town, and providing age appropriate experiences for their social, emotional, and physical development. I’m comfortable with bottle feeding, baby wearing, cloth diapering, snuggling to sleep, baby led weaning and adapting to any special care needs your family might need. I of course always follow your preferences to keep your child comfortable and safe🩷 Looking forward to talking with you about the care needs for your family.

Hello! I have been babysitting, house-sitting, and pet-sitting consistently since I was around thirteen. I currently own a horse, a dog, and a cat. I have experience with infant care, but more commonly babysit kids starting at ages 3 to 10. A unique fact about me is that I lived in Haiti for two years with my family, where I was consistently around groups of 50 kids ranging from infants to 13-year-olds, all with different needs. This experience has taught me that every child is different and has made me skilled in effectively multitasking and kindly managing multiple children at once. Lastly, I have my CPR certification, can cook, enjoy creating engaging and educational activities, and have knowledge of child and animal first aid. If you would like to inquire more about my experiences with different babysitting situations, house sitting, and pet sitting, please reach out!
