Maliyah $21 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Jamul, CA

Hi! My name is Maliyah Domingo. I am an 18-year-old college student at Grossmont College. As the oldest of three siblings, I’ve spent much of my life helping care for younger children and understand the importance of patience, communication, and consistency. Caregiving has always been a passion of mine that has motivated me to go to school for nursing. Services that I offer include infant care, toddler care, senior care, care for multiple children, after-school care, homework help, meal and snack preparation, bedtime routines, diaper changing, housekeeping, arts and crafts, outdoor activities and play, sick childcare, and a drivers license for transportation. I have taken care of all ages whether that’s for family, friends, or at the nursery of the church I attend. I also have been taking care of my great aunt with Parkinson’s for almost a year now. I help take care of her at least once a week. During my time at Helix Charter High School, I have earned my Medical Assistant Certification, which gave me valuable healthcare knowledge and experience working responsibly with others. You can feel confident knowing your children will be cared for by someone who is attentive, dependable, and committed to their safety and well-being. I strive to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow.

Vivianne 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Jamul, CA

With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for children ranging from 6 weeks old to school-aged, I am a dedicated and nurturing babysitter who truly loves working with kids. My background includes working with infants, toddlers, and young children, adapting to each stage of development with patience, warmth, and understanding. Most recently, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a 2-year-old and a 3-year-old, providing full-day care including school drop-offs and pick-ups, preparing light meals, and planning fun, age-appropriate activities that support learning and development. I take pride in creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children feel secure and families feel confident in the care I provide. Whether it’s tummy time for infants, imaginative play for toddlers, I approach each day with compassion, reliability, and a genuine passion for helping children thrive. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs.

“Vivianne is amazing with kids! She connected so well with my daughter. My husband and I work very demanding law enforcement jobs and having Vivianne taking care of our daughter gave us so much peace in our hearts and minds. Vivianne went above and beyond to make our daughter feel comfortable with her. Vivianne is so organized and communicative that my husband and I felt comfortable at work and were able to perform our duties and were worried about our daughter. Vivianne is a very trust worthy person and she is reliable. We deeply recommend Vivianne to take care of your child.”

Summer $22 per hour for 1 child

I volunteered at a daycare for one year, where I assisted in caring for children ages 2–4. My responsibilities included supervising activities, helping with meals, supporting nap time routines, and reading to the children. This experience helped me develop strong childcare skills, patience, and the ability to create a safe and positive environment for young children. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from San Diego State University (SDSU) and am also comfortable caring for animals. I have previously completed CPR training; although my certification recently expired, I am willing to renew it before providing care for children or seniors. I am highly patient, dependable, and an effective communicator. In addition, I worked as a Shift Supervisor at KFC for eight years, where I independently managed shifts and was responsible for team leadership, conflict resolution, staff coordination, and delivering excellent customer service. This role strengthened my organizational skills, leadership abilities, and sense of responsibility. With extensive experience in the food service industry, I am knowledgeable about food safety regulations, proper food handling and preparation procedures, and maintaining high standards of cleanliness and sanitation.

Tiffany $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tiffany, and I'm currently a senior at the University of San Diego. I am offering child care, tutoring, and pet care. I love working with children and have experience helping in kindergarten and first-grade classrooms, where I've assisted with educational activities, crafts, games, and everyday classroom routines. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to be patient, responsible, attentive, and adaptable to each child’s needs. I enjoy spending time outdoors, doing arts and crafts, playing games, reading stories, and helping with homework. I love finding activities that kids enjoy while making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your child needs someone to play with, help with schoolwork, or simply be a dependable caregiver, I’m happy to help! I’m also comfortable with dogs and can help with pet care. I have a Chihuahua mix of my own who I’ve grown up with. I am allergic to cats, so unfortunately I’m unable to provide care in homes with cats. I look forward to meeting your family!
