Booked by 13 families in Jamul, CA

Hi my name is Amanda, I’m 29 years old. I’m the oldest of four. I joke I’ve grown up with a baby on my hip for as long as I can remember. Early Childhood Education is my passion. I’ve been working with children at different capacities for the last thirteen years. Most of my work with children involve babies 2 weeks to 24 months, however I have experience with all ages. I have worked as a one on one nanny, in a childcare center. Most recently I work at the YMCA as a lead of the Child Watch center for the last four years. I enjoy the challenge and journey of helping a child grow and helping to shape their minds. I’m very caring, present and quick thinking. I’m CPR and first aide certified, I renew every 2 years.

“Amanda was early, kept great communication before meeting me, and was very professional and great with the kids. I would hire her again and I highly recommend her.”

Booked by 1 family in Jamul, CA

Hi! My name is Wenddy 💗 I’m a mom of two (my kids are now older), so I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children. Most of my childcare experience comes from raising my own kids and helping care for children within my family over the years. I really enjoy creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and cared for like family. I also have caregiving experience, including caring for my grandmother, who has since passed and is now in heaven 🤍 That time in my life deeply shaped my patience, compassion, and the way I care for others with kindness and respect. At this time, I’m only available for occasional babysitting. When I do care for children, I bring a warm, calm presence and always treat them with genuine care and attention. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and very caring. I take trust seriously and always show up with heart and responsibility. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), have a Live Scan background check, clean driving record, reliable transportation, and I’m fully vaccinated. I would love the opportunity to support a family who needs occasional, trustworthy care 💗

“Enjoyed using Wenddy. I would use her again.”

I am 19 years old and just graduated high school. I am bilingual in Spanish and English. I love working with kids especially with the small ones. I am energetic when I play with them. I’m always willing to play with them whether it’s playing dressing up or fake cooking or even running around to chase them. I have been volunteering at church with the kids for two years. I worked at a daycare for the two years as a teacher helper. I did an internship being in a kindergarten class as an aid for the summer 2025 and 2026. I have a CPR/AED online certification. I am looking to work as a babysitter in the weekdays and weekends. I also have my drivers licenses. You can send me a message if you have any questions!
