Hi dear parents! I’m known as Pia and I am dedicated babysitter/nanny with 4 years of experience caring for children of various ages. CPR certified and skilled in creating engaging and educational activities, preparing balanced meals, and maintaining a safe and nurturing environment. Reliable, attentive, and able to manage multiple responsibilities while ensuring the well-being and happiness of the children in my care.
Hey parents! I’m Zelma, a 24 year old sitter with CPR certification, a clean background, and my own car. I’m fun, super active, and love keeping kids busy with games, crafts, outdoor time — you name it. I’m available Monday–Thursday for daytime, after-school, or overnight care (I work weekends). I’m big on safety, always on time, and respectful of your family’s routine. Whether you need school pickups, help with bedtime, or someone to jump in last minute — I’m your girl! Feel free to message me with any questions or to set up a quick meet-and-greet. Thanks for considering me!
I’d love to help out your family as an after-school nanny or your go-to date night babysitter! I've been babysitting for as long as I can remember and have all younger cousins so am used to being around little kids. I enjoy being around kids and doing fun activities with them. I was also a lifeguard and taught swim lessons from age 14-22. Feel free to reach out if you think it’d be a good fit!
Hi! My name is Asia. I just moved back to San Diego from Boulder CO. Where I was working at a forest preschool! I have taken care of children of all ages. I am significantly older than my 3 siblings and helped raise them. I have experience and feel comfortable watching children of any age. I have no problem helping out with pets. I love arts & crafts, animals and being out in nature.
Child Care I have experience working with children of various ages, from toddlers to early teens. I enjoy hands on, engaging activities like arts and crafts, baking, reading time, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I’m patient, energetic, and great at keeping kids entertained while also maintaining structure. I’m comfortable helping with school pick-ups, meal prep, bedtime routines, or light tutoring as needed. Pet Care I’ve worked with small to medium breeds. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playtime. Whether your pet needs high-energy outdoor time or just loving companionship, I’m happy to accommodate. Household Services I offer a variety of home assistance such as cleaning, organizing, meal prep, laundry, running errands, and general tidying. I take pride in being detail-oriented and making sure things not only look neat, but feel peaceful and functional. I am adaptable to whatever systems or routines you prefer in your home. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and easy to work with, I’d love to help! Let me know what you need, and I’ll do my best to make your life a little easier. I am certified in CPR

"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!"
