Hi! I’m Leila and I’m currently a sophomore and psychology major at SDSU. I am offering child care and senior care. I love kids with my whole heart. At home, in the Bay Area, I work at an elementary and middle school. During the year I worked in the after school program with kids ranging from kindergarten to 8th grade and during the summer I teach art at the summer camp! I have a little sister that I have always taken care of. We are 8 years apart but super close. We love to draw, read, and go to the beach together. I have done volunteering at multiple senior homes. There, I helped to cook, organize and engage in art activities, lead bingo, and took them on walks. I am comfortable with driving to appointments as well or other tasks. My grandparents are close by in Los Angeles and I try to visit them as much as I can. Recently, at college I have enjoyed cooking and baking. On my own time, I love to draw. I’m always happy to do art with whoever I am spending time with! I love to read as well. At my school job, I tutored the younger kids in reading and math. Also, I love all pets and I am happy to have pet responsibilities as well. At home, I have a dog, a cat, and some fish. I am very organized, kind, and patient. I handle issues quickly and have good time management. This semester, I have a busy schedule but I have free time in the late afternoon and evening on Monday and Wednesday. On Tuesday and Thursday, I am free in the evening. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I am free at any time!
Hi! I’m Gillie, a recent nursing graduate from Dominican University of California with extensive hands-on caregiving experience and a passion for working with children and families. Throughout my education I completed over 1,000 hours of clinical training, including maternal-newborn and family-centered care, which strengthened my understanding of child development, safety, and compassionate caregiving. I’ve worked with families as a nanny, babysitter, and in-home caregiver, caring for children of different ages and helping with daily routines like meals, bedtime, homework, playtime, and school pick-ups. I love creating a fun, engaging, and structured environment where kids feel safe, supported, and excited to learn and explore. Caregiving has always come naturally to me because I genuinely enjoy building relationships with families and being someone parents can trust with their children. I’m patient, attentive, and very safety-focused, while also making sure kids have a great time—whether that’s outdoor adventures, crafts, reading, or creative play. A little about me personally: I’m very active, positive, and responsible. I love being outdoors, cooking, and spending time with animals. Families often describe me as warm, dependable, and someone who brings calm and good energy into their home. I’m excited to connect with families looking for a reliable and caring nanny! 👶✨
