Booked by 5 families in Lemon Grove, CA

Hi I'm Nicole and I am currently residing in San Diego. I just moved back to California after living in Charleston, SC where I managed a bridal shop. I also had a part-time nannying job for a 3 year old, but I have experience with kids from ages newborn to teen. I love being active and have a car, so I can easily take kids to the park or somewhere local for an outdoor activity. I am willing to help out with homework, help tidy up around the house, and cook. One of my favorite past-times is reading, so I would be more than happy to read to before bedtime.

Hello, my full name is Fe Kara but most people call me ‘Kara’. I am interested in applying for your babysitting position. I have eight years experience working as a babysitter. The children's ages were from infant to 6th grade. I value the trust that families have shown me, and make sure I reciprocate the trust back with the families I meet. I have done overnight and weekend care. I have raised two daughters who are adults now. My family has a dog and I enjoy having pets in the house. I am a non smoker. I have a clean driving record and drive a reliable car. Prior to childcare, I worked as a teacher’s assistant for the Chula Vista Elementary school District. I have 16 years experience working in the classroom. I can help with homework, tutoring and cooking. I take pride in being reliable and dependable. I look forward to connecting with you & your family, and in assisting you with your childcare needs.

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!
