Trinity San Marcos
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Trinity and I am one out of four children. I am firsy generation, Vietnamese, and have immensely helped my mother raise my three brothers. I love taking care of others, but also teaching kids (all ages) right from wrong, respect, and implementing the act of character development. I do currently study Business Management at CSULB and graduated high-school with a 4. 5GPA. I hope to gain more experience with children and help take some stress off your hands! I'd describe my personality as friendly, social, sophisticated. In my spare time, I like to go to gym, cook, listen to music, hangout with my girls! I also love going on adventures and parks. One thing you should know about me is I am very flexible and I stand on respect, loyalty, and communication. I am also happy to relieve any anxieties with extra introductions, etc.

Booked by 1 family in Pala, CA

Hi! I'm the oldest of five kids in my family and absolutely love kids! I am currently in a master of occupational therapy program at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences and hope to become a pediatric OT. I have worked for the past year as a registered behavior technician in an ABA therapy clinic with kids with autism in both clinic and school settings. I am CPR certified and have my RBT certification. Before I moved to this area, I nannied for a family with three kids for the last 5 years and served in the nursery and disabilities ministry for my church with kids ages 8 months to 13 years old. I also have coached club beach volleyball for kids ages elementary through high school for the past 4 years. In addition to nannying, I can cook, run errands, help out with homework, and provide transportation to school or extracurricular activities. I love to make up fun games, do crafts, and play outside with the kids I nanny! My friends would describe me as happy, kind, organized, and compassionate!

Violet was awesome! The kids started playing with her right away I felt confident she was taking great care of them. When I got home they asked if she would come again. I would definitely recommend her!

Anika Oceanside
$25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a super auntie who has loved caring for kids since I was a teenager! I raised my two nieces from infancy and I absolutely adore every moment with children. I work comfortably with infants all the way up to teens. For years I ran an after-school playground program with 75–100 kids, where I worked with all kinds of personalities and backgrounds. I’m patient, attentive, and believe love and kindness come first. I love helping children work through their feelings and problems in a gentle way — kids have such amazing perspectives and they teach us so much! I’m also happy to lend a hand with light housework, elderly care, or pets. Whether it’s playing, doing homework, or just being a warm, reliable presence, I bring fun and care to every family. I’d love to meet yours! 💕
