Hey there parents, my name is Ashley. I graduated from San Diego State University with my BA in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences. My degree is highly focused on childrens’ language development and because of this, I really enjoy spending time with children. I have two years experience an a Behavioral Therapist for children on the Autism Spectrum and 8 years experience as a nanny for infants and toddlers primarily. CPR and First Aid certified for all ages. I’m very passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can grow, explore, and develop. I have extensive experience managing daily routines such as feedings, naps, developmental play, and age-appropriate activities. If you are seeking a trustworthy, experienced, and loving caregiver look no further. I’ve maintained long-term relationships with many families I’ve worked with. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to see how I can assist your family :) ***Note: I have a 4 hour minimum for all bookings and if a job is at a hotel you are responsible for parking fees. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice must be paid in full. I budget based on bookings and when a booking is cancelled without prior notice it directly affects my budget. Please be understanding as this is my livelihood.***

Ashley was amazing with our two boys. She kept me in the loop of how they were doing and got our kids to sleep earlier than usual, and they both slept in the next day! She made me feel like we had family watching our kids so we will definitely be hiring her again.

Hello I'm Sabrina! I'm 26 and been a nanny/babysitter for 5 years. I have experience with children newborn-12 years. I worked in a preschool for a few months pre-Covid. I worked in the 2 year old “growing together” (similar to a mommy and me) class and 5 year old class. I also filled in in other classes with other age groups. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Thank you for your time and consideration, I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi. I am a mom to a college graduate. I enjoy taking care of kids and helping parents. I am the oldest of 4 children. I babysat infants, toddlers, and kids when I was in high school. I was home full-time with my daughter from the day she was born until 1st grade. Then I did some contract work, but was mostly with her after her school days. I love interacting with kids and witnessing them learn and experience all the things in their life. I am young at heart and love kid activities like playing games, arts & crafts, legos, going to the park, blowing bubbles, reading books and many more. I have more free time now. My daughter doesn't need me anymore. :) I am caring, friendly, easy-going, and down to earth. I graduated from SDSU in 1990 with a B.A. in Psychology. The ages I have babysat recently are 12 to 1 years old and 11 months to 7 weeks. I have mostly had 2 kids.

Diane was amazing with my 3 year old. She was warm, and engaging and my son was immediately comfortable with her. I will definitely be considering Diane for future babysitting.

Hello! My name is Abigail. I was raised in Phoenix, Az and now live in the northern San Diego area. I have about 12 years of experience taking care of babies, toddlers, and children (6mo-15yrs). Some responsibilities I can take on are tutoring / homework assist, and meals including the clean up. Some activities I might entertain your kids with might be crafts, outdoor play, dance parties, reading books or just their toys, whatever you and they are comfortable with. Thank you for your consideration. :)

I have been a nanny for 2 families in the past 10 years. Each job involved picking up from school, taking them to various appointments and waiting until mom came or I took them back home. I would do light housekeeping and help with homework. I would take them to karate, swim lessons also. I babysit their dogs when needed. I’m still in touch with my girls and their parents. I’m often a “grandma “ substitute for kids who don’t see their grandparents or have any. I did some house and dog sitting for a family in La Jolla also. I’m the proud grandma of 4: 2,4,10 &14. And the mother of twins. I was a yard duty when my sons were in elementary school in addition to volunteering in both classes. I continued to volunteer with an elementary school teacher for the next 20 years. I developed a relationship with these families. I attended birthdays and later their graduations. Unfortunately Covid was the end of my last nanny job. I have since moved to north county to be closer to the grandkids. I currently work 4 days a week until 1:30. I have some flexibility in case I was needed earlier. I have also self published a book to help young children learn to say polite words. I love young kids and I love spending time with them. There were times when one of them would tell me things they didn’t tell their moms. I became their confidante. However, if I was told something I thought their mom should know, I would tell her. It helped keep mom up to speed without breaking my confidence with the daughter.
