"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Franco $25 per hour for 1 child
With experience in fire service, caregiving, and fine-dining kitchens, I provide calm, professional, detail-oriented care and exceptional service tailored to each client.
Amber $20 per hour for 1 child
I am a 25 year old college graduate looking for some night work as I work full time during the day. I have a background in medical, working for 3 years as a hospital corpsman in an inpatient and labor/delivery ward, I am first aid qualified, and I am currently active duty military. My childcare background comes from a mixture of infant care while working labor and delivery and also having 6 siblings (the youngest of which I adopted due to my father’s death). I also have a background in working as a dog trainer (with a specialty in huskies and German Shepards) and am trained in basic pet first aid. While working inpatient, I also dealt with many elderly patients as far as in-unit hospice cases, and I am more than open to helping care for anyone whether they are at the start or end of their life! I only speak English (and some German/Russian for dog training), so households that mainly speak another language likely won’t be a good fit. For any households looking for overnight care, I will set hard return times to ensure I can make it to work by 0700. Please reach out if you have any questions! I’m an open book and know that entrusting someone with those we care for can be stressful.
Yasmin $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi I have been taking care of an Autism child for 5 years, the routine was taking him to school, to the park and the zoo. I’m bilingual (English /Spanish) I have a driver license and a SUV MAZDA CX5 I’ve been living in San Diego for 5 years
Cecilia $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Cecilia. I have been substitute teaching for the past three years and am an aspiring meteorologist. While I have the summer off I am hoping to babysit in order to save up for graduate school. I love math, music, and outdoor adventures! I have experience with kids of all ages and abilities. I also dog sit.
Andrea $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi, my name is Andrea and I'm currently a college student studying to become a children's psychologist, so working with kids is what I truly love. Families would describe me as responsible, dependable, patient, and someone their children would feel comfortable with. I love arts and crafts, music, and creating a fun environment where kids feel supported. I am committed to providing the best care possible and excited to get to know your family.
