Leila San Diego
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Leila and I’m currently a sophomore and psychology major at SDSU. I am offering child care and senior care. I love kids with my whole heart. At home, in the Bay Area, I work at an elementary and middle school. During the year I worked in the after school program with kids ranging from kindergarten to 8th grade and during the summer I teach art at the summer camp! I have a little sister that I have always taken care of. We are 8 years apart but super close. We love to draw, read, and go to the beach together. I have done volunteering at multiple senior homes. There, I helped to cook, organize and engage in art activities, lead bingo, and took them on walks. I am comfortable with driving to appointments as well or other tasks. My grandparents are close by in Los Angeles and I try to visit them as much as I can. Recently, at college I have enjoyed cooking and baking. On my own time, I love to draw. I’m always happy to do art with whoever I am spending time with! I love to read as well. At my school job, I tutored the younger kids in reading and math. Also, I love all pets and I am happy to have pet responsibilities as well. At home, I have a dog, a cat, and some fish. I am very organized, kind, and patient. I handle issues quickly and have good time management. This semester, I have a busy schedule but I have free time in the late afternoon and evening on Monday and Wednesday. On Tuesday and Thursday, I am free in the evening. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I am free at any time!

I’m an experienced childcare professional with over seven years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I’ve been both a live-in and full-time nanny, and I’ve supported multiple families over the years with everything from daily routines to developmental activities. I also worked as an after-school program leader for middle school students, giving me strong skills in homework support, behavior management, and creating fun, structured activities. I have experience with children from 2 months up to 12 years old, and I’m confident handling schedules, meal prep, light cleaning, naps, school pick-ups, and creating a safe, warm environment. I’m very organized, reliable, and clean, and I have my own car with a valid driver’s license. I am also CPR certified/infant first aid certified. I love helping families feel supported and making sure their kids feel cared for, engaged, and comfortable!

Booked by 1 family in Spring Valley, CA

My name is Harper, and I am a San Diego State University student studying Musical Theatre with a minor in Business. Alongside my studies, I work in retail, which has strengthened my work ethic, time management, and ability to connect with people. I have over five years of experience working with kids, particularly ages four and up, and was a nanny throughout high school. I love engaging with children, making them smile and laugh, and creating a fun yet safe environment for them to grow. I also have two dogs and a deep love for animals, so I’m more than comfortable caring for pets as well. My passion for caregiving, coupled with my strong sense of responsibility and enthusiasm, makes me a great fit for any family. I am happy to provide references upon request!

Harper has been absolutely great with our 4 year old! She has been punctual, communicative, and attentive!

I am a dedicated Medical Assistant with over a decade of experience working with children ages 2 to 12, fostering their creativity through art, crafts, singing, dance, and play. I also have experience providing senior care in a hospital setting. I am familiar with ADLs, companionship, and supporting adults' needs. Additionally, I am comfortable with pet care, particularly around large dogs, as long as they are friendly. Outside of work, I enjoy reading and staying active by going to the gym. I find joy in engaging with others and learning about their life stories.

Hi! I’m Leslie, I understand how important it is for parents to feel their child is truly cared for. I’m naturally patient, and detail-oriented (comes with being a paralegal) and I bring that same energy into childcare. I love creating calm, safe routines, being attentive to emotional needs, and making sure families feel supported. I’m big on communication, I handle unexpected situations with a clear head, and I genuinely enjoy helping little ones feel secure, understood, and loved. If you’re looking for someone dependable, and easy to work with, I’ve got you!

Very good with small children, highly recommend her!
