Hi families!! I'm a 20-year-old third-year nursing student at Point Loma Nazarene University. I'm BLS CPR certified and have over 200 hours of clinical experience through my nursing program. I bring 4+ years of paid babysitting experience, currently work as a director at a children's summer day camp, and work as a daycare teacher during the school year. I'm confident caring for kids of all ages, happy to help with household needs, and great with pets, too. I have a clean driving record, reliable transportation, and a clear background check. I'd love to support your family!

We loved working with Sam! Perfect balance of attentiveness and care for our 10 month old. Will certainly reach out to her for more babysitting opportunities if she’s available.

Hi, my name is Montse. I received my masters (M.S) in Multicultural Counseling and B.S. in Psychology at SDSU. I currently work as a mental health therapist at a children’s hospital in San Diego. As part of my lifestyle I spend my free time practicing mindfulness, enjoying the outdoors, reading and spending time with family/pets/friends. I have learned how incredibly well all these practices compliment each other. While going to school I worked as a behavior therapist for children on the autism spectrum and spent many years working in after school care programs. On some evenings I enjoy providing child care services. Im a patient, caring, creative, compassionate, reliable, responsible, and fun-natured individual who simply has an affinity for working with children. I am bilingual and fluent in English and Spanish (I love speaking Spanish with kiddos and/or teaching new learners). I enjoy engaging children in story time, peek-a-boo, arts and crafts, music, and other forms of stimulating, educational, age-appropriate play. I also enjoy taking children for walks, to local parks, aquariums, museums, beach, movies, library, and finding free/affordable extra-curricular activities where they can have some age-appropriate experiences. I have many years of experience working with newborns, infants and teens. I have experience with overnights stays. I’m also a mom to a 6-month-old baby. My years of experience working with children makes me very comfortable working with any child. I like to cook and am also a good organizer. I can do light cleaning and run any other household errands that are needed. I am extremely pet friendly (as I have a dogs and a cat at home) so there is no need to keep pets away while I am sitting. I am all up-to-date on all of my immunizations and am CPR and first aid certified so you can always feel at ease when your children are in my care. I also have a California driver's license, an excellent driving record and a reliable car. I do not smoke and live in a smoke free home. I am LGBTQIA+ friendly and affirming. Thank you for considering me as a potential caregiver for your family. I look forward to connecting! Booking Terms: I require a minimum of 3-4 hours per booking (depending on location). Please note, I charge for the full length of the booked time, even if you return home early. By sending a booking request, you agree to these terms. Thank you for your understanding!

Hi I'm Nicole and I am currently residing in San Diego. I just moved back to California after living in Charleston, SC where I managed a bridal shop. I also had a part-time nannying job for a 3 year old, but I have experience with kids from ages newborn to teen. I love being active and have a car, so I can easily take kids to the park or somewhere local for an outdoor activity. I am willing to help out with homework, help tidy up around the house, and cook. One of my favorite past-times is reading, so I would be more than happy to read to before bedtime.

As a dedicated caregiver and mother of three school-aged children, I am deeply committed to nurturing every child's growth, learning, and happiness. With years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, I bring warmth, patience, and creativity to every babysitting role. I go beyond basic supervision-I love engaging kids in both indoor and outdoor play, helping with homework, and creating fun, memorable activities that let them shine. Safety and trust are at the heart of my care; I always strive to create a supportive, secure environment where children feel comfortable and parents have complete peace of mind. I am flexible with scheduling, available for both daytime and evening care, and am happy to provide references from local families I have supported. Helping families achieve balance matters deeply to me, and I aim to support your household so every family member thrives. I would be excited to meet your family and become a trusted part of your support network.

Olga was great!!

Hi I’m Lena. I’ll take great care of your children! As a mom to a teen daughter and many, many years of child care and nannying experience, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from newborns to teenagers. I understand from experience how important it is to find someone you can truly trust, and I always want to make sure your children feel safe, happy, and engaged while in my care. Whether it’s playing games, reading, doing crafts, or just having fun by letting them be kids, I love creating a nurturing environment. I’m very reliable, patient, and will treat your children as if they were my own, (probably better actually 😁) I also can run errands do house cleaning and cooking. Looking forward to caring for your precious family.
