Hey there parents, my name is Ashley. I graduated from San Diego State University with my BA in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences. My degree is highly focused on childrens’ language development and because of this, I really enjoy spending time with children. I have two years experience an a Behavioral Therapist for children on the Autism Spectrum and 8 years experience as a nanny for infants and toddlers primarily. CPR and First Aid certified for all ages. I’m very passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can grow, explore, and develop. I have extensive experience managing daily routines such as feedings, naps, developmental play, and age-appropriate activities. If you are seeking a trustworthy, experienced, and loving caregiver look no further. I’ve maintained long-term relationships with many families I’ve worked with. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to see how I can assist your family :) ***Note: I have a 4 hour minimum for all bookings and if a job is at a hotel you are responsible for parking fees. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice must be paid in full. I budget based on bookings and when a booking is cancelled without prior notice it directly affects my budget. Please be understanding as this is my livelihood.***

Booked by 44 families in Poway, CA

Hi. I am a mom to a college graduate. I enjoy taking care of kids and helping parents. I am the oldest of 4 children. I babysat infants, toddlers, and kids when I was in high school. I was home full-time with my daughter from the day she was born until 1st grade. Then I did some contract work, but was mostly with her after her school days. I love interacting with kids and witnessing them learn and experience all the things in their life. I am young at heart and love kid activities like playing games, arts & crafts, legos, going to the park, blowing bubbles, reading books and many more. I have more free time now. My daughter doesn't need me anymore. :) I am caring, friendly, easy-going, and down to earth. I graduated from SDSU in 1990 with a B.A. in Psychology. The ages I have babysat recently are 12 to 1 years old and 11 months to 7 weeks. I have mostly had 2 kids.

“Diane was amazing with my 3 year old. She was warm, and engaging and my son was immediately comfortable with her. I will definitely be considering Diane for future babysitting.”

Booked by 11 families in Poway, CA

Hi parents! I work as a nanny for a family already but would love to talk about occasional opportunities when I’m available! I have experience with working with kids as a babysitter, nanny, respite worker and behavior therapist working with children anywhere from four months old to eighteen years old. I have around 3 years of experience working with kids with developmental disabilities including nonverbal kids with AAC or PECS devices. I’m very outgoing and love going to farmers markets, a park, Legoland (have a yearly membership since I go with my niece so much) or anywhere really! I also love to be at home sometimes to relax and read, build lego sets or participate in creative hobbies! I love doing puzzles, magnet tiles, building forts and basically anything the kids love to play. I have two large dogs and a cat so I’m experienced with taking care of animals and always willing to learn for any other animal to help take care of them! I’d be happy to help with pick ups/drop offs, taking kids to the park or elsewhere and getting to know your kids hobbies so I can make sure to have fun stuff for us to do and talk about while I babysit. I would be open to discussing how I can help you with daily life while babysitting as well! Please feel free to reach out with occasional opportunities!

“Kiara was incredible with our baby. Very attentive to his needs and made us as parents feel very comfortable. ”

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

“Lisa was simply awesome. After my previous caregiver had to cancel, Lisa was responsive and offered to come by before the job to acquaint herself with my pet and immediately demonstrated her proficiency with animals. I would definitely recommend and she will be the first person I turn to for future assistance!”
