Hello Parent(s), I am Anastacia, your caring, attentive and respectful childcare provider. A mother of two sons and a devoted wife. I am a certified Childcare Provider and a Registered Behavior Technician. My interest in caring for children is one of my dearest passion, which started with me volunteering at my older son’s Elementary school to substitute for his teacher. My professional experience spans over a 10 years period. I am experienced in caring for 2mos olds to 12years olds, multiple age groups at once and twins. Being an adventurous person, I would definitely take the child(ren) on walks/outside if permitted. I love assisting parents by being a roll model to the ones in my care during their early years of development and encouraging milestone achievements. During my spare time I am involved in Community Service, sewing and hiking and cooking meals from other cultures.

Hello! My name is Chloe and I am an enthusiastic childcare professional dedicated to encouraging the development of the whole, healthy child. I am available occasional weekday evenings and weekends for sitting. I have my Bachelor's of Science in Developmental Psychology with a minor in sociology and more than enough Early Childhood Education and Development credits under my belt. In regards to my experience in the early childhood field, I have spent the majority of my time for the past 10 years working with young children of different ages and aptitudes, in both schools and in the home. I started nannying during my undergraduate career and then worked in a private French-American preschool for 2 years prior to temporarily moving to LA. During my 6 months in LA, I worked as a lead infant teacher in an early learning center. Now that I’m back in San Diego, I have been caring for 2 kiddos full-time and working occasional date-nights and weekends (if COVID precautions have been taken). I have experience with children of all ages from newborns to 13 year olds, as well as children with special needs (autism, behavioral problems, visual impairments). I specialize in early childhood, so the majority of the jobs I take are with children under 5 years old. I am very patient and understanding but also a believer in firmness and care/love. My outgoing personality and high level of energy allow me to keep up with even the most rambunctious little ones. My babysitting style is characterized by playing, creativity, exploration, and books/reading, and I do my best to keep TVs/tablets off when I babysit. In my free time I enjoy being outside, hiking, rollerskating, swimming, reading, spending time with my family, and seeing all the children I had cared for. It is my goal to provide enriching, enjoyable, and meaningful experiences for your children while making sure they feel safe and loved. Magda Gerber says it best: “When we help a child to feel secure, feel appreciated, feel that ‘somebody is deeply, truly interested in me’, by the way we just look, the way we just listen, we influence that child’s whole personality, the way that child sees life.” If you have any questions or would like to know more about what I did as a nanny for each family, please let me know; I'd be happy to answer any questions about my previous employment and am more than happy to send a resume and references.

“Kind, fun, brought her own fun activities for the kids, was attentive to their needs, and was thorough in remembering bedtime routines. Appreciate it!!!”

hello! My name is Taylor. I am 26 years old and have over 10+ years experience in babysitting, nannying and day care work with children ranging from infants to middle schoolers. I love being able to hang out with the kids & help them in any way possible! I currently work as a behavior technician with children in schools! As a behavior technician I implement ABA strategies to help children! I’m good at engaging children through multiple activities in order to meet their educational & physical needs. I am CPR certified and first aid certified! I am also fully vaccinated! I am interested in a occasional nannying position. I am located in San Diego! I am able to start ASAP!!

“Taylor is the best. 2 minutes after meeting her I felt so comfortable leaving my 3 month old with her. My daughter had a great time playing with Taylor every day. Taylor really helped us out over a period of 2 weeks where we needed childcare. I only wish we could use her full time. We will definitely be asking Taylor to babysit again!”
