Booked by 13 families in Coronado, CA

Hi there! I’m very excited about the opportunity to work with your family and help make your home life easier. I come from a family of 6 and have had experience with childcare since my teen years. I have been working as a dance instructor for over 10 years with a special interest in Early Childhood classes. In recent years I have transitioned to my career as a professional nanny with experience in multiple age groups and family assistant roles helping parents complete errands, home tasks and cooking. I love to help kids use their imagination, gain thinking skills, and appreciate nature. I am also pet friendly, tidy, crafty, and enjoy cooking/baking treats!

Booked by 5 families in Coronado, CA

I am a caring and reliable individual looking to help out families when I am available. My primary experience is with infants and toddlers but, I have babysat/nannied for ages 2 mos-16 yrs. I graduated from the University of San Diego with a BA in Behavioral Neuroscience and then spent most of 2022 traveling abroad. I love animals and enjoy going for walks, spending time at the beach, traveling, and caring for children! :)

“We’ve hired Brennan twice now to watch our 3.5 year old and our 1.5 year old, and she’s been kind, dependable, and professional! She jumps right in as soon as she arrives, maintains routines, and asks all the right questions! Our 1.5 year old has separation anxiety, but she felt comfortable in Brennan’s very capable hands! Highly recommend!”

Hi I'm Meijia! I recently moved to San Diego from Denver. I am looking to find some great families to help out since I had to say goodbye to the ones in Denver! I love spending time with young kids and being around their fun-loving energy. I enjoy being outside, doing crafts, and playing games!! I have babysat for various families over the years. In addition to babysitting when I can, I have also taught swim lessons for kids ages 3-12, worked at a park district summer camp for kids ages 4-13, and volunteered at a camp for children with special needs. I have also nannied daily for a family with two young girls, so I can get creative with staying busy and active!

“meijia is amazing. my baby girl loves having her for a sitter. she is also flexible and is very good with communication. ”

Hello, my name is Kristabel, a current icu nurse wanting to get back into working with kids while in between nursing jobs. I recently moved back to SD from LA, and am starting my next nursing job in early December. I graduated from UCLA in 2018 with a degree in psychobiology and spent 6 years working in ECE at UCLA. I spent 3 years in a young preschool classroom (ages 2-4) as a student teacher. I spent another year as a substitute teacher in different classrooms with ages ranging from 4 months - 5 years old. In my last 2 years of teaching, I worked as an infant/toddler teacher (2-16/18-24 mos) where I provided care to children in addition to planning curriculums and hosting parent-teacher conferences. In addition to working, I have babysat for many families over the last few years. I’ve worked in the ICU for the last 2 1/2 years, and needed a break from the emotionally heavy and stressful environment. In the meantime, I’ve been focusing on my baking side business and spending time with family! I love being creative, and emphasizing children’s strengths and interests in the activities I plan out. I am cpr certified (pediatric and adult), and am up to date with immunizations. In my free time, I love to create! I enjoy cooking and baking, as well doing arts and crafts. :)

“Kristabel is a godsend! So patient and fun with our 8mo old. She has extensive experience working with all ages and can adapt quickly to your child’s needs. Highly recommend working with her!”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
