I have been working with children for about 8 years now. I started off volunteering in my home church nursery with 1-2 year olds, I did this for about 3 years! I also while in high school worked at a YMCA as a summer camp counselor and also working in their afterschool childcare program! I also spent 3 years in college working for a babysitting referral company in Tampa! Throughout my time with this agency I worked with many different families doing both occasional/one time sitting jobs while also nannying!

Caring for a child means supporting their safety, growth, and emotional well-being with consistency, respect, and compassion. I bring those values to every family I serve. I am an experienced, energetic caregiver and mother, CPR/AED and CPI certified, with formal study in child development as part of my degree requirements. I am active, dependable, and thrive in supportive, structured environments that help children build confidence, healthy habits, and strong social skills. Beyond my professional experience, I volunteer with children in the special needs community and youth sports, which has strengthened my ability to adapt, lead with patience, and respond calmly in high-stress situations. I take pride in being fair, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in each child’s well-being. I would be honored to support your family and provide a loving, safe, and encouraging environment for your loved one.

Hi families! I bring a strong mix of education, experience, and heart to caregiving. I spent three years as a teacher's aide working with infants through pre-school aged children, and I'm also a proud aunt who helps babysit my three nephews and niece. For the past 4 years, I've worked as a wellness educator supporting children, teens, and older adults so caregiving across the lifespan is second nature to me. I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology, a master's in Mental Health and Wellness with a focus on family dynamics, and I'm a certified personal trainer. I'm also CPR and First Aid certified, ensuring safety is always a top priority. Families describe me as attentive, caring, and trustworthy, while kids love my calm, patient energy and enjoy story time, arts and crafts, and fun learning activities. Since I work full-time during the week, I'm currently available for occasional date nights, some weekday evenings, and weekends. I'm responsible, highly educated, and truly enjoy helping children feel safe, engaged, and cared for while parents are away.

Hello! I have previously worked taking care of special needs kids K-6th grade. I have extensive experience caring for children with special needs, including those with developmental, behavioral, and physical challenges. My approach focuses on patience, understanding, and creating a safe, supportive environment where each child can thrive. I’m familiar with individualized care routines, communication strategies, and adaptive activities that encourage learning and independence. This applies to all kids! I take pride in building trust with both children and parents, and I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate care that meets each child’s unique needs. I am also open to other opportunities such as house sitting, caring for pets (I have one of my own), helping with errands, and other. You can message me with questions. I’m mostly looking for jobs here and there.

Hello, My name is Marsha. I live with my husband, who is a retired ICU nurse and worked for 20 years at Loma Linda Hospital. in Plantation Lakes, a lovely seniors-only subdivision in Calimesa. My daughter and her husband are ICU nurses and live in San Marcos. I'm retired and worked for 20 years+ as a speaker doing seminars for geotechnical engineers. I retired from being a Notary Public three years ago during the Covid outbreak. I am a very young 72 with no physical problems and a strong back. I love children and miss my grandsons being little as I miss playing games with them and helped to raise them.. We play Scrabble often. I babysit my five grandsons often and enjoy them so much, for free. They are 4, 9, 10, 14 and 16. When my daughter and her husband take their three boys to Colorado to visit that side of the family for 4 or five days, they pay me $100 per day to take care of their lovely house in San Marcos, and their three dogs. I like to be in a clean house, so I keep things picked up. I'm a good cook and I can make anything your child is allowed to eat and do the dishes afterwards. I like to take walks in nice neighborhoods. I would have no problem spending the night once in awhile if you have a special night to celebrate. I have a Chico, California phone number where I lived until 8 years ago. Correction: $28 per hour. I do not accept credit cards. Thank you, Marsha
