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!
Hello! My name is Julia, I am offering child care. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to start Asap. I am currently 20 years old and I attend San Diego state university. I have been an Employee at Bayclub Kidsworld since Nov of 2022. While working with the children I clean, change diapers, feed, play, and read books with them. I am also CPR/AED Certified. I am open to taking the children to the park, doing arts and crafts, helping with homework, and making meals.
Hi! I’m Melody. I have 4+ years of experience working with children as an after school youth leader and I was a special education classroom aide for a year. I also have 10 years of experience sitting for household pets, I love animals. I hold a master’s degree in school counseling, so I am passionate about caring for children and families.
“Enthusiastic and caring! Felt very comfortable leaving my baby in Melody’s care.”
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.
I have 20+ years in housekeeping and have great reputations with all the people I’ve worked with in the past. Every day I come in with a great attitude and wanting to make my clients day by attending to their housekeeping needs.
“Lupe was phenomenal! We will look forward to working with her in the future!”
