Hello! I am an experienced, fun loving babysitter. I have done various babysitting jobs over the past 8 years. I enjoy being with children and seeing them grow.

I can help out with anything that is needed with you or your kids!
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!
I am a second-oldest sibling to 6 (one older sister!) and a private music teacher for all ages! In addition to regular care, I am happy to provide voice, piano and string lessons. I’m happy to do sitting in the mornings before work and open to date nights/ overnight depending on the circumstances.
Hi my name is Hannah(Han-yuh). I am offering childcare, household services, and pet care. I have nanny experience with toddlers and babies. Babies were 5 months-9 months and the toddler was 2-4 year old. I also babysit have been babysitting ages 3-12 since I was around 12. While nannying I also did household chores like dishes, laundry, cleaning the floors, and making food for the children. I work as a surf instructor at a kids camp working with up to 28 kids ages 6-14 which allows me to have experience with many age ranges while working in a higher stress environment with children.
Hi, my name is Andrea and I'm currently a college student studying to become a children's psychologist, so working with kids is what I truly love. Families would describe me as responsible, dependable, patient, and someone their children would feel comfortable with. I love arts and crafts, music, and creating a fun environment where kids feel supported. I am committed to providing the best care possible and excited to get to know your family.
