Booked by 2 families in Poway, CA

Hi! My Name is Melia. I am 20 years old and am currently in my third year at San Diego State, and I live near campus. I am majoring in Child and Family Development and am passionate about every child’s developmental process. I love working with kids and have experience as a camp counselor of 2 years, gymnastics coach for 3 years, and have babysat/nannied for 6 years and counting. I have interacted and cared for a group of 40 children at a time to working one on one with children of all ages. I love animals as well and would not mind watching them alongside your children. I’m open to helping out in anyway I can! Safety and fun are the two things I prioritize most! Feel free to reach out with any questions!

“Melia is great. So sweet. My 3 year old loved her instantly. Will be using her again. Thank you so much for being so kind hearted!! ”

Booked by 1 family in Poway, CA

Growing up in a Mexican household, caring for younger siblings and cousins was a natural part of daily life and became a core responsibility for me from an early age. With a 10-year age gap between my siblings and me, I gained hands-on experience caring for both my brother and sister as infants. This early exposure to caregiving sparked a deep passion for helping others, which led me to pursue a nursing degree. Professionally, I’ve worked as a caregiver at Brookdale Senior Living for the past year and a half. And am currently in nursing school. In that time, I’ve developed a strong foundation in the technical skills of caregiving, but more importantly, I’ve learned the value of patience. Caring for older adults has shown me that, much like with children, compassion, understanding, and emotional support are just as essential as physical care. I believe my greatest strengths as a caregiver are my sense of responsibility, reliability, and the empathy I bring to each interaction. I take pride in creating a supportive and respectful environment for those I care for, always aiming to make them feel safe, seen, and valued.

My name is Jillian. I am offering child care and even pet care. I am 26 years old and have a passion for being around kids. I have siblings that I helped raise since I was 12 and have so much patience with children. I am also CPR certified. I am energetic, kind, optimistic, and easy going. I am also well trusted and know that looking after a child is a very important role. I have experience with looking after toddlers to pre teens. I am currently working as a Registered Behavior Technician, but have been a preschool teacher for about 3 years. I also have credits in Child Development. I’m working on going back to school to continue working with kids. With that being said, I have experience and great knowledge to look after children!
