hello! My name is Taylor. I am 26 years old and have over 10+ years experience in babysitting, nannying and day care work with children ranging from infants to middle schoolers. I love being able to hang out with the kids & help them in any way possible! I currently work as a behavior technician with children in schools! As a behavior technician I implement ABA strategies to help children! I’m good at engaging children through multiple activities in order to meet their educational & physical needs. I am CPR certified and first aid certified! I am also fully vaccinated! I am interested in a occasional nannying position. I am located in San Diego! I am able to start ASAP!!
“Taylor is the best. 2 minutes after meeting her I felt so comfortable leaving my 3 month old with her. My daughter had a great time playing with Taylor every day. Taylor really helped us out over a period of 2 weeks where we needed childcare. I only wish we could use her full time. We will definitely be asking Taylor to babysit again!”
Hi! My Name is Melia. I am 20 years old and am currently in my third year at San Diego State, and I live near campus. I am majoring in Child and Family Development and am passionate about every child’s developmental process. I love working with kids and have experience as a camp counselor of 2 years, gymnastics coach for 3 years, and have babysat/nannied for 6 years and counting. I have interacted and cared for a group of 40 children at a time to working one on one with children of all ages. I love animals as well and would not mind watching them alongside your children. I’m open to helping out in anyway I can! Safety and fun are the two things I prioritize most! Feel free to reach out with any questions!
“Melia is great. So sweet. My 3 year old loved her instantly. Will be using her again. Thank you so much for being so kind hearted!! ”
Hi! My name is Wenddy 💗 I’m a mom of two (my kids are now older), so I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children. Most of my childcare experience comes from raising my own kids and helping care for children within my family over the years. I really enjoy creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and cared for like family. I also have caregiving experience, including caring for my grandmother, who has since passed and is now in heaven 🤍 That time in my life deeply shaped my patience, compassion, and the way I care for others with kindness and respect. At this time, I’m only available for occasional babysitting. When I do care for children, I bring a warm, calm presence and always treat them with genuine care and attention. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and very caring. I take trust seriously and always show up with heart and responsibility. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), have a Live Scan background check, clean driving record, reliable transportation, and I’m fully vaccinated. I would love the opportunity to support a family who needs occasional, trustworthy care 💗
“Enjoyed using Wenddy. I would use her again.”
Hello! My name is Julia, I am offering child care. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to start Asap. I am currently 20 years old and I attend San Diego state university. I have been an Employee at Bayclub Kidsworld since Nov of 2022. While working with the children I clean, change diapers, feed, play, and read books with them. I am also CPR/AED Certified. I am open to taking the children to the park, doing arts and crafts, helping with homework, and making meals.
Hi! I’m Melody. I have 4+ years of experience working with children as an after school youth leader and I was a special education classroom aide for a year. I also have 10 years of experience sitting for household pets, I love animals. I hold a master’s degree in school counseling, so I am passionate about caring for children and families.
“Enthusiastic and caring! Felt very comfortable leaving my baby in Melody’s care.”

"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
