Find infant babysitters in Vista, CA

Bonjour, My name is Sylviane. I am a native of Switzerland and have been living in California now for the last 24 years. I have had the opportunity to be a stay at home mom while homeschooling my two children. My children are my best resume as they are kind, confident and considerate human beings. I am proud of them...as you can see :-) Here is a quick summary of my child care/education experience: French is my mother tongue and I have taught beginning and conversational French to students age 4-17, in small private group settings and in private tutoring. Also, for 4 years, I participated and taught in a neighborhood preschool with a group of 3-6 children. We mainly focused on values like creativity, kindness, cooperation, uniqueness and joy. In the last 3 years I have been a nanny for a family with a 9 month old and a 3 years old. That was the children's ages when I started. I can provide reference info. Feedbacks I have received describe me as a calm, loving, fun and creative person. I enjoy reinforcing children's interests through hands-on activities, reading and outdoor exploration. My approach focuses on nurturing and encouraging their natural curiosity and imagination, offering guidance when needed for problem solving, respectful communication and self regulation of emotions. Now that my children are grown and independent I am available and thrilled to offer my assistance and experience to your family. I look forward to meeting you and your child/ren. Please, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need more information. Sylviane

I know just what they need to feel happy, safe and fulfilled when Mom and Dad need to work. I have volunteered in elementary and middle school in both of my kid’s classrooms when they were growing up. I was Room Mom for many of those years. I was Team Mom for their sports, and very involved helping organize my daughter’s Club volleyball teams every year. I worked as an Instructional Assistant for Temecula School District for several years. Needless to say, I have lots of experience with kids from infants on up. I’m patient, nurturing, and really love children. i have assisted several families in sleep training their babies with the successful Ferber method.

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.

Hi! I'm a mom of two elementary-aged kids with a degree in Human Development, with a focus in child development, and a background in social work. Along with my professional knowledge, I bring the real-life experience of raising neurodivergent children, which has taught me patience, flexibility, and the importance of redirection over discipline. I love creating a positive, playful environment where kids feel safe, encouraged, and free to be themselves, whether that's through outdoor adventures, crafts, or fun at home. I'm reliable, energetic, and able to manage multiple children at once, and I'm also happy to help with light cleaning, errands, and pets to support the whole family. With my flexible schedule and warm, hands-on approach, I'm passionate about helping children grow in confidence while giving parents peace of mind.
