Booked by 1 family in San Marcos, CA

Hey! My name is Rita and for the past 15 years I’ve dedicated my time to working with children of all ages, from pre-k to high school! I have experience in babysitting, nannying, childcare, tutoring, homeschooling, educational therapy, and also as a family assistant/house manager. I’ve worked as a professional nanny for 3 different families and truly loved my time with each of them. I have the most experience working with elementary school age children- 3 years old and up. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, taking them on outings/play dates, helping them with homework, arts and crafts, doing laundry, grocery shopping/ running errands, cooking simple meals for the kids, cleaning the dishes, organizing the children’s room+toys, and bathing the children, while also getting them ready for morning/ bedtime routines. I am very nurturing, patient, and loving. I love being outdoors and being active with kids. I will make sure your kiddos are given the best care! I am also happy to dogsit or watch after your furry friends as well :)

Rita was great! Ver friendly, punctual and our daughter loved hanging out with her. We would highly recommend her and would definitely hire her again!

Hiii! I’m Aubrey, some of my important qualifications I would say are responsible, caring, and reliable. I have a natural ability to connect with kids, keeping them engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities while also maintaining a safe environment. I am patient, attentive, and quick to respond in any situation, which helps me handle everything from everyday routines to challenges. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, or simply offering a warm and trustworthy presence, I’m dedicated to providing the best care possible. One of my experiences with children is that I have a 6 year old little sister, who I take care of all the time! I have changed diapers, made her dinner/lunch/breakfast, gave baths, taken her to school, packed lunches, put her to bed.

$23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Marcos, CA

Hi! I'm the oldest of five kids in my family and absolutely love kids! I am currently in a master of occupational therapy program at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences and hope to become a pediatric OT. I have worked for the past year as a registered behavior technician in an ABA therapy clinic with kids with autism in both clinic and school settings. I am CPR certified and have my RBT certification. Before I moved to this area, I nannied for a family with three kids for the last 5 years and served in the nursery and disabilities ministry for my church with kids ages 8 months to 13 years old. I also have coached club beach volleyball for kids ages elementary through high school for the past 4 years. In addition to nannying, I can cook, run errands, help out with homework, and provide transportation to school or extracurricular activities. I love to make up fun games, do crafts, and play outside with the kids I nanny! My friends would describe me as happy, kind, organized, and compassionate!

Violet was awesome! The kids started playing with her right away I felt confident she was taking great care of them. When I got home they asked if she would come again. I would definitely recommend her!

Ines Vista
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Ines, and I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, starting as the go-to babysitter in my neighborhood back in Germany. Working with kids has always been a natural fit for me. When I turned 18, I spent six months as an au pair in Canberra, Australia, where I cared for three energetic boys between the ages of 3 and 9. I planned and carried out their weekly routines, handled grocery shopping, cooked meals, and supported the family with whatever they needed. This experience taught me how to stay calm, organized, patient, and flexible in a busy household. I genuinely love spending time with children and recently became an aunt. I’ve cared for my baby niece since she was just a few months old, and it’s been such a joy to be part of her early life. I’m originally from Germany, speak fluent English, and I have a Green Card. My American husband and I live in Vista, where I also work part-time in retail. Because of my work schedule, I’m fully available Mondays and Thursdays from morning to evening. A few extra things about me: -I absolutely love animals and am happy to help with pet care. - I have a valid driver’s license and am a confident, safe driver. - I’m an easygoing, cheerful person who laughs a lot and brings a positive, relaxed energy to every home. - I enjoy meeting new people and know tons of card and board games for all ages. - I’m very outdoorsy and active — nature and sports are a big part of my life. I’d love to support your family and get to know your little ones. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
