Gillie $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Gillie, a recent nursing graduate from Dominican University of California with extensive hands-on caregiving experience and a passion for working with children and families. Throughout my education I completed over 1,000 hours of clinical training, including maternal-newborn and family-centered care, which strengthened my understanding of child development, safety, and compassionate caregiving. I’ve worked with families as a nanny, babysitter, and in-home caregiver, caring for children of different ages and helping with daily routines like meals, bedtime, homework, playtime, and school pick-ups. I love creating a fun, engaging, and structured environment where kids feel safe, supported, and excited to learn and explore. Caregiving has always come naturally to me because I genuinely enjoy building relationships with families and being someone parents can trust with their children. I’m patient, attentive, and very safety-focused, while also making sure kids have a great time—whether that’s outdoor adventures, crafts, reading, or creative play. A little about me personally: I’m very active, positive, and responsible. I love being outdoors, cooking, and spending time with animals. Families often describe me as warm, dependable, and someone who brings calm and good energy into their home. I’m excited to connect with families looking for a reliable and caring nanny! 👶✨

Hi, I am Jeanette. I attended West Texas A&M. I was on the West Valley Women's Soccer and Swim team. I love the outdoors and being active. At the age of fourteen, I started working with kids at Pinehurst Cabana Club every summer. I teach all ages how to swim from 16 weeks old to 72 years young. I work at Pinhurst every summer for the past five years and I love every minute of it. I also am a referee for soccer dealing with a lot of 10 and under kids. I enjoy working and playing with kids. I also assist as a referee for soccer. During my middle school years, I worked with autistic elementary students who needed a little more assistance.

“Jeanette watched my 4 year old daughter for an evening while I was in San Diego for work. She arrived early, was communicative and instantly connected with my kiddo. They had a blast together and I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”

Hello Parents, I’m Lisa, a high energy responsible and mature woman with a clean background check. I am drug, Alcohol & smoke free. I have a truck, car and 2 car seats. I have a clean driver’s license and full insurance. I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old which gives me 34 years of experience. I also pet sit & elder sit so if you are out of town I can watch your furry baby's too. Last week I watched twin 2 1/2 year old girls while their parents flew away on vacation for 7 days. Other experience; premature babies, 4 days old babies, ALOT of twins, 3 year old triplets, autism, ADHD, Asperger, Down syndrome, asthma and following a special diet such as gluten-free & dairy free. 2019 I cared for twin 4 months old girls until they were a year old, 2 full days a week. -7/2011 - 7/2017 I was watching Kai from 13 months old till 7. Kai has Autism along with delayed walking & speech, many food allergies and some behavioral issues. I watched Kai for an occasional date night & then every Sunday. On Sunday's I picked him up at 8 am at his house. I then drove him to a soccer class followed by breakfast at a local restaurant. Afterwards we would go to a local park/library/zoo/sea world/movie during the middle of the day. At 3pm I would drive him to his 3:30 therapy horseback riding where his parents pick him up at 4. Kai would also sleepover at my home 1 night every couple of months so his parents can have a night away. Kai is gluten free & dairy free so I can follow a stick food program. I also house sit & dog sat when they went out of town. Sadly after watching Kai for 6 years he has moved out of state on July 2016 to be closer to his grandparents. 2- 2[removed] Samantha age 13 & Stephanie is 10 years old. I watched the girls since they were 3 years old and 4 months old. I saw this family about once a month. 3- 2015-current ; I had been watching Sam since he was 4 months old and he is now 10 years old . I see this family every other month. 4- 2012-2018 I started watching Nick when he was 21 months until he 7 years old. Nick became a big brother when he was 3 years and I started watching his sister Addison when she was 2 weeks old. I used to see this family twice a month but they had a 3rd child in 2014 they hired a live in nanny and I was no longer needed. This is a VERY small example of my history and If you have any other questions feel free to ask me. Thank you very much for considering me, Lisa

Booked by 5 families in La Jolla, CA

I am a caring and reliable individual looking to help out families when I am available. My primary experience is with infants and toddlers but, I have babysat/nannied for ages 2 mos-16 yrs. I graduated from the University of San Diego with a BA in Behavioral Neuroscience and then spent most of 2022 traveling abroad. I love animals and enjoy going for walks, spending time at the beach, traveling, and caring for children! :)

“We’ve hired Brennan twice now to watch our 3.5 year old and our 1.5 year old, and she’s been kind, dependable, and professional! She jumps right in as soon as she arrives, maintains routines, and asks all the right questions! Our 1.5 year old has separation anxiety, but she felt comfortable in Brennan’s very capable hands! Highly recommend!”
