Booked by 1 family in Coronado, CA

Hi! My name is Diana, I currently work as an infant teacher at a preschool. Have been working here for 5 years, I love working with kids. I also have 2 fur babies that I love! I love going to spend time with them and going on walks to the beach. I also babysit on the weekends for families from the school whenever I can(:

“As a teacher at our daycare, Ms. Diana did a great job of caring for our baby boy. She led the arts and crafts activities and we always looked forward to our son bringing home a new creative art piece. She is communicative, responsive, and reliable. We look forward to having Diana babysit!”

I'm a dependable and caring animal lover who enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm responsible, attentive to detail, and always strive to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable care and regular updates.

Hi! My Name is Melia. I am 20 years old and am currently in my third year at San Diego State, and I live near campus. I am majoring in Child and Family Development and am passionate about every child’s developmental process. I love working with kids and have experience as a camp counselor of 2 years, gymnastics coach for 3 years, and have babysat/nannied for 6 years and counting. I have interacted and cared for a group of 40 children at a time to working one on one with children of all ages. I love animals as well and would not mind watching them alongside your children. I’m open to helping out in anyway I can! Safety and fun are the two things I prioritize most! Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Booked by 3 families in Coronado, CA

I'm passionate about caring for children, with 6 years of experience as a nanny/babysitter. I have a graduate degree in communication and am certified CNA, have a CPR and First Aid. I'm fluent in English, Portuguese and know Spanish. I have a creative and friendly personality, and I'm reserved when it comes to respecting families' privacy and maintaining professionalism. I communicate with parents through written daily reports and verbal communication, and I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules. I love playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games with children. I can comfortably care for multiple kids at the same time, even with an age gap. But at the moment would love to find a job to care for only one kid. I would love to help your family :)

“I highly recommend Lili! She was a regular sitter for my son before he turned one year old, and occasionally watched my two daughters (4 and 6) when they were out of school. She is an active, engaging, no TV, no cell phone, super reliable type of caregiver. A rare find. And my kids still ask for her when we need a sitter!!”

Booked by 7 families in Coronado, CA

My name is Anna Teresa. I am a 22 year old female. I have my CPR and first aid training. I always enjoy meeting new personalities, whether it's children, seniors, or pets. I am very patient and try my best to prioritize whoever I am watching's safety. I have worked with babies 7 months-11 years old, but I am open to taking care of a different range of ages. I currently work with adults that are on the spectrum Monday-Friday from 8am-3:30pm but I am available during the evenings and weekends! For animals, I have always grown up with animals in my home. From fish, to hamsters, dogs, and even a chinchilla. I also have experience taking care of cats.

“We had a wonderful experience with Anna caring for our dog for over a week. Our dog took to her immediately, which is unusual. She sent us lots of photos while we were away and you could tell that our pup was happy. We have already booked her again. Thanks, Anna!!!”

"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!"
