Booked by 5 families in Poway, 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!”

Booked by 3 families in Poway, CA

I'm passionate about caring for children, with 6 years of experience as a nanny/babysitter. I have a graduate degree in communication and am certified CNA, have a CPR and First Aid. I'm fluent in English, Portuguese and know Spanish. I have a creative and friendly personality, and I'm reserved when it comes to respecting families' privacy and maintaining professionalism. I communicate with parents through written daily reports and verbal communication, and I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules. I love playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games with children. I can comfortably care for multiple kids at the same time, even with an age gap. But at the moment would love to find a job to care for only one kid. I would love to help your family :)

“I highly recommend Lili! She was a regular sitter for my son before he turned one year old, and occasionally watched my two daughters (4 and 6) when they were out of school. She is an active, engaging, no TV, no cell phone, super reliable type of caregiver. A rare find. And my kids still ask for her when we need a sitter!!”
