Kayla El Cajon
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Kayla and I have my BA in Early Childhood Development. I have been taking care of children since my early teens but my most recent experience includes working as a nanny for a 12 month old. I am a trained postpartum doula so I have several years experience with newborns as well. I love getting to help a child explore their interests and am interested in a home that can provide a space to make some messes in order to do so. I’m looking for a position that is part time ( mornings until about 1pm) to accommodate my other job as a preschool teacher. I also have experience with multiples as well as nanny sharing.

I have experience working with children through volunteering and tennis camps, where I helped teach skills, supervise activities, and support a safe, fun environment. I’ve also volunteered with a non-profit organization supporting children through engagement and care. I have experience with pets through volunteering at animal shelters and from owning a dog. I enjoy caregiving because I like creating a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment for children and pets. I’m dependable, patient, and calm under pressure. In my free time, I enjoy staying active, especially through sports like tennis.

La Mesa
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 10 families in Alpine, CA

Hi, my name is Nancy and I have been working with children ranging in age from 3 months to 15 years old for approximately 21 years . I have a Teacher permit through the state of California and an Associate in Science degree in the field of Early Childhood Education. Currently I provide early intervention services to children in their homes, working on any developmental delays they have. I coach parents on how to play with their child as part of their daily routine. In addition, I have a business as a special education advocate, helping parents through the IEP process. My child care experience began many years ago as a babysitter for families in my neighborhood. I have always enjoyed working with children and experiencing the joy of watching them grow, learn and explore the world around them. I worked as a nanny in Hawaii while also working as a youth development mentor at the Boys and Girls Club of Maui. My experience teaching at child care centers allowed me the opportunities to care for children as young as 3 months old, which included daily routines of diapering, feeding and napping, as well as reading, singing and soothing. I have experience with tummy time, bottle feeding, determining why an infant may be upset and of course, building a trusting relationship. As the children got older, I was an integral part of their development from crawling and scooting to assisted walking, to walking without assistance; from bottles to cups and finger foods, and language development. A big part of my day was also spent fostering social emotional development Activities that I enjoy doing with children include art, music, dance, gross and fine motor movement, sensory, science, reading and outdoor play. I pride myself on being creative and resourceful when it comes to planning fun activities and keeping children engaged. In my free time I enjoy hiking, camping, reading, surfing and other ocean sports. I have recently taken archery lessons and love it! If you are seeking a trustworthy, experienced loving caregiver I hope to hear from you soon and meet your family. Thank you.
