Tiffany $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tiffany, and I'm currently a senior at the University of San Diego. I am offering child care, tutoring, and pet care. I love working with children and have experience helping in kindergarten and first-grade classrooms, where I've assisted with educational activities, crafts, games, and everyday classroom routines. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to be patient, responsible, attentive, and adaptable to each child’s needs. I enjoy spending time outdoors, doing arts and crafts, playing games, reading stories, and helping with homework. I love finding activities that kids enjoy while making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your child needs someone to play with, help with schoolwork, or simply be a dependable caregiver, I’m happy to help! I’m also comfortable with dogs and can help with pet care. I have a Chihuahua mix of my own who I’ve grown up with. I am allergic to cats, so unfortunately I’m unable to provide care in homes with cats. I look forward to meeting your family!

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.

Hi families! 😊 My name is Alyssa, and I’m a 27-year-old kindergarten teacher who recently moved to San Diego. I’ve been babysitting for about 9 years while living in San Francisco, and I’m excited to start building meaningful, trusting connections with families here in SD. I’m a fun, energetic, and caring sitter with experience caring for children of all ages—from newborns to teens. I genuinely love spending time with kids through reading stories, playing games, doing crafts, and creating engaging activities that feel both fun and safe. I’m currently teaching kindergarten, so I’m available for weeknight and weekend babysitting. I have a reliable car and clean driving record if transportation is needed, and I’m CPR certified for both infants and adults. If you’re looking for a warm, dependable sitter who truly enjoys working with children, I’d love to connect. Feel free to message me with any questions—thank you! 💛

“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!”
