Hi parents! My name is Ines, and I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, starting as the go-to babysitter in my neighborhood back in Germany. Working with kids has always been a natural fit for me. When I turned 18, I spent six months as an au pair in Canberra, Australia, where I cared for three energetic boys between the ages of 3 and 9. I planned and carried out their weekly routines, handled grocery shopping, cooked meals, and supported the family with whatever they needed. This experience taught me how to stay calm, organized, patient, and flexible in a busy household. I genuinely love spending time with children and recently became an aunt. I’ve cared for my baby niece since she was just a few months old, and it’s been such a joy to be part of her early life. I’m originally from Germany, speak fluent English, and I have a Green Card. My American husband and I live in Vista, where I also work part-time in retail. Because of my work schedule, I’m fully available Mondays and Thursdays from morning to evening. A few extra things about me: -I absolutely love animals and am happy to help with pet care. - I have a valid driver’s license and am a confident, safe driver. - I’m an easygoing, cheerful person who laughs a lot and brings a positive, relaxed energy to every home. - I enjoy meeting new people and know tons of card and board games for all ages. - I’m very outdoorsy and active — nature and sports are a big part of my life. I’d love to support your family and get to know your little ones. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
Hi There! My name is Kaily and I’m a 23 year old who just graduated from CSUSM. I’m returning back to school to pursue a master’s in Speech Language Pathology. I specialize in childcare and have worked with the ages 2-12 since I was 16. A few jobs that I have done include driving to and from school, crafts, tutoring, and housesitting. I grew up with animals and have the ability to care for any if need be. Thank you so much and I look forward to speaking with you soon!
Hello! My name is Ivadny, I’m 22, and I’m a responsible & caring caregiver with 3 years of babysitting experience and experience working with over 20+ families and children of various ages. I’m currently a Health Sciences student, which has strengthened my focus on safety, organization, and communication. I enjoy creating a fun, calm, and structured environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, meals, bedtime routines, homework, and pets. I speak English and Spanish.
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! 💕

"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!"
