Summer $22 per hour for 1 child

I volunteered at a daycare for one year, where I assisted in caring for children ages 2–4. My responsibilities included supervising activities, helping with meals, supporting nap time routines, and reading to the children. This experience helped me develop strong childcare skills, patience, and the ability to create a safe and positive environment for young children. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from San Diego State University (SDSU) and am also comfortable caring for animals. I have previously completed CPR training; although my certification recently expired, I am willing to renew it before providing care for children or seniors. I am highly patient, dependable, and an effective communicator. In addition, I worked as a Shift Supervisor at KFC for eight years, where I independently managed shifts and was responsible for team leadership, conflict resolution, staff coordination, and delivering excellent customer service. This role strengthened my organizational skills, leadership abilities, and sense of responsibility. With extensive experience in the food service industry, I am knowledgeable about food safety regulations, proper food handling and preparation procedures, and maintaining high standards of cleanliness and sanitation.

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!

Booked by 57 families in Lakeside, CA

Hello Parent(s), I am Anastacia, your caring, attentive and respectful childcare provider. A mother of two sons and a devoted wife. I am a certified Childcare Provider and a Registered Behavior Technician. My interest in caring for children is one of my dearest passion, which started with me volunteering at my older son’s Elementary school to substitute for his teacher. My professional experience spans over a 10 years period. I am experienced in caring for 2mos olds to 12years olds, multiple age groups at once and twins. Being an adventurous person, I would definitely take the child(ren) on walks/outside if permitted. I love assisting parents by being a roll model to the ones in my care during their early years of development and encouraging milestone achievements. During my spare time I am involved in Community Service, sewing and hiking and cooking meals from other cultures.

Booked by 13 families in Lakeside, CA

Hi my name is Amanda, I’m 29 years old. I’m the oldest of four. I joke I’ve grown up with a baby on my hip for as long as I can remember. Early Childhood Education is my passion. I’ve been working with children at different capacities for the last thirteen years. Most of my work with children involve babies 2 weeks to 24 months, however I have experience with all ages. I have worked as a one on one nanny, in a childcare center. Most recently I work at the YMCA as a lead of the Child Watch center for the last four years. I enjoy the challenge and journey of helping a child grow and helping to shape their minds. I’m very caring, present and quick thinking. I’m CPR and first aide certified, I renew every 2 years.

“Amanda was early, kept great communication before meeting me, and was very professional and great with the kids. I would hire her again and I highly recommend her.”
