Babysitter with over 23+ years of experience. Originally from Southern California, I graduated from USC in International Business. After living in NYC and SF, I’m excited to be back in San Diego 🌊🫶😃 I currently run my own CPG brand, but enjoy babysitting in my free time. Love, love kiddos and pets! :D
Hi! I'm a mom of two elementary-aged kids with a degree in Human Development, with a focus in child development, and a background in social work. Along with my professional knowledge, I bring the real-life experience of raising neurodivergent children, which has taught me patience, flexibility, and the importance of redirection over discipline. I love creating a positive, playful environment where kids feel safe, encouraged, and free to be themselves, whether that's through outdoor adventures, crafts, or fun at home. I'm reliable, energetic, and able to manage multiple children at once, and I'm also happy to help with light cleaning, errands, and pets to support the whole family. With my flexible schedule and warm, hands-on approach, I'm passionate about helping children grow in confidence while giving parents peace of mind.
“Kelsey is the absolute best! We have used her 4-5 times now and will definitely be using her regularly going forward! She is so patient with our 4 month old and is always very interactive with him! We could not recommend her enough!”
Empty nester Mom experienced raising my own kids as a stay at home Mom whom were two years apart. They’re now college graduates. I have joined many beautiful families that I still keep in touch with! I am available on occasional Mondays. If commit to scheduled days with your family, I require guaranteed pay. 6 hr/day minimum. If you want someone that has experience raising her own children as a stay at home Mom, and has helped many lovely families, reach out! I will provide the best loving, patient and attentive care. I know just what they need to feel happy, safe and fulfilled when Mom and Dad need to work. I have volunteered in elementary and middle school in both of my kid’s classrooms when they were growing up. I was Room Mom for many of those years. I was Team Mom for their sports, and very involved helping organize my daughter’s Club volleyball teams every year. I worked as an Instructional Assistant for Temecula School District for several years. Needless to say, I have lots of experience with kids from infants on up. I’m patient, nurturing, and really love children. i have assisted several families in sleep training their babies with the successful Ferber method. I have my Associate’s degree in early childhood education. I love to teach and watch children learn and flourish. I’m loving, attentive, patient, very clean, healthy and happy. Message me for detailed availability. I accept work in clean households only. I don’t mind disorganized, but it at least must be clean. Clear background check, and CPR & First Aid Certified. Non smoker.

“Very easy, great with our kids. Would hire again ”
I’ve been babysitting for around 7 years, and caring for kids is something I genuinely love. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I take pride in being reliable, helpful, and someone parents can trust, while also making sure the kids I’m with feel seen, supported, and have fun.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
