Kayla El Cajon
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Kayla and I have my BA in Early Childhood Development. I have been taking care of children since my early teens but my most recent experience includes working as a nanny for a 12 month old. I am a trained postpartum doula so I have several years experience with newborns as well. I love getting to help a child explore their interests and am interested in a home that can provide a space to make some messes in order to do so. I’m looking for a position that is part time ( mornings until about 1pm) to accommodate my other job as a preschool teacher. I also have experience with multiples as well as nanny sharing.

Hi! I’m Brianna — a recent nursing graduate with almost 10 years of experience caring for kids. I absolutely love working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. I enjoy helping with homework, crafts, and fun activities that keep them engaged and happy. I also work part-time as a caregiver for seniors, providing support, companionship, and a caring presence. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and love helping families however I can — whether that’s with light cleaning, cooking, errands, or pet care.

$20 per hour for 1 child

I have experience working with children through volunteering and tennis camps, where I helped teach skills, supervise activities, and support a safe, fun environment. I’ve also volunteered with a non-profit organization supporting children through engagement and care. I have experience with pets through volunteering at animal shelters and from owning a dog. I enjoy caregiving because I like creating a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment for children and pets. I’m dependable, patient, and calm under pressure. In my free time, I enjoy staying active, especially through sports like tennis.
