Ines Vista
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Ines, and I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, starting as the go-to babysitter in my neighborhood back in Germany. Working with kids has always been a natural fit for me. When I turned 18, I spent six months as an au pair in Canberra, Australia, where I cared for three energetic boys between the ages of 3 and 9. I planned and carried out their weekly routines, handled grocery shopping, cooked meals, and supported the family with whatever they needed. This experience taught me how to stay calm, organized, patient, and flexible in a busy household. I genuinely love spending time with children and recently became an aunt. I’ve cared for my baby niece since she was just a few months old, and it’s been such a joy to be part of her early life. I’m originally from Germany, speak fluent English, and I have a Green Card. My American husband and I live in Vista, where I also work part-time in retail. Because of my work schedule, I’m fully available Mondays and Thursdays from morning to evening. A few extra things about me: -I absolutely love animals and am happy to help with pet care. - I have a valid driver’s license and am a confident, safe driver. - I’m an easygoing, cheerful person who laughs a lot and brings a positive, relaxed energy to every home. - I enjoy meeting new people and know tons of card and board games for all ages. - I’m very outdoorsy and active — nature and sports are a big part of my life. I’d love to support your family and get to know your little ones. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Ma. Chantal San Diego
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a professional educator currently working within the San Diego Unified School District as a TK teacher at a Mandarin immersion school. I have been in the education sector since 2007. I have a Master of Science degree in Education with a Concentration in Literacy and Reading. I am a single parent to a high schooler and a shih tzu. My Professional Background: Teaching experience: I started out my career as an educator as a Child Development Center Assistant then took on the role of an Independence Facilitator. I worked my way up to becoming a teacher while taking Child Development courses, and completing my master's degree as well as a Graduate Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Specialized experience: I have had the privilege to work as a behavioral therapist (trained in ABA) for five years for private non-profit organizations. Foster care: I proudly served as a foster parent to children with special needs for eight years. My caregiving philosophy: I love being a teacher! It is my absolute pleasure watching young children grow, learn, and meet their developmental milestones. Inside the home, I bring the same organization, loving structure, and accountability that I use in my classroom. For example, I teach my 3-5 year old students how to be responsible by guiding them through routines such as cleaning up after themselves. I ensure every child receives equal and individualized attention tailored to their own unique personality. I love to read, cook, and bake. I enjoy talking with children about random things under the sun. It is my greatest joy to learn from them just as much as they learn from me. I am seeking a rewarding supplemental role and be productive during school breaks and in the afternoons or evenings when I have down time. I am comfortable working in homes with friendly dogs and cats. If you believe my educational background and experience align with your family's needs, I would love to connect!

Thais 1 review
La Mesa
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Thais, 32, originally from Brazil, now a permanent resident in San Diego - CA. I’ve been caring for kids for the past 8 years, starting as a full-time nanny and now babysitting on nights and weekends around my marketing job. I’m right at home with bottle feeds, nap schedules, snack time meltdowns, and all the fun. What I care about most is that your kids are safe, happy, and looked after, not just watched. I keep things playful when they’ve got energy to burn and calm when it’s time to wind down. Bedtime routines, mealtimes, screen limits, whatever your house rules are, I follow them. Being a former full-time nanny taught me to stay steady when things get hectic and to really communicate with parents. You’ll hear from me if anything comes up, and I’ll leave you a quick rundown of how it went. I’m reliable, and I show up on time. I’m comfortable driving and happy to travel to you. I also love pets, so a dog or cat in the mix is a bonus, not a problem. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to meet your family. My Facebook is:[removed] I’m happy to provide references. Thank you!

I’m delighted to recommend Thais as a nanny and childcare provider. She has cared for our family for almost four years, starting when our oldest son was just 1 year old, and now helps look after both of our children (currently almost 5 and 3½ years old). Over these years, Thais has proven to be exceptionally reliable and trustworthy — we have never had to worry when the kids are in her care. She is wonderful with children: attentive, patient, and genuinely engaged with them, always noticing their needs before we even have to ask. She’s proactive in anticipating what the kids need day to day, and she consistently keeps their spaces and belongings tidy and organized. Our family trust her completely, and our children adore her. Any family would be lucky to have her as part of their team.
