Find a last-minute babysitter in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

Hi parents! I work as a nanny for a family already but would love to talk about occasional opportunities when I’m available! I have experience with working with kids as a babysitter, nanny, respite worker and behavior therapist working with children anywhere from four months old to eighteen years old. I have around 3 years of experience working with kids with developmental disabilities including nonverbal kids with AAC or PECS devices. I’m very outgoing and love going to farmers markets, a park, Legoland (have a yearly membership since I go with my niece so much) or anywhere really! I also love to be at home sometimes to relax and read, build lego sets or participate in creative hobbies! I love doing puzzles, magnet tiles, building forts and basically anything the kids love to play. I have two large dogs and a cat so I’m experienced with taking care of animals and always willing to learn for any other animal to help take care of them! I’d be happy to help with pick ups/drop offs, taking kids to the park or elsewhere and getting to know your kids hobbies so I can make sure to have fun stuff for us to do and talk about while I babysit. I would be open to discussing how I can help you with daily life while babysitting as well! Please feel free to reach out with occasional opportunities!

Hey! My name is Rita and for the past 15 years I’ve dedicated my time to working with children of all ages, from pre-k to high school! I have experience in babysitting, nannying, tutoring, homeschooling, educational therapy, and also as a family assistant, house manager, and dogsitter. I’ve worked as a professional nanny for 3 different families and truly loved my time with each of them. I have the most experience working with elementary school age children- 3 years old and up. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, taking them on outings/play dates, helping them with homework, arts and crafts, doing laundry, grocery shopping/ running errands, cooking simple meals for the kids, cleaning the dishes, organizing the children’s room+toys, and bathing the children, while also getting them ready for morning/ bedtime routines. I am very nurturing, patient, and loving. I love being outdoors and being active with kids. I will make sure your kiddos are given the best care! I also have a dogsitting business and am more than happy to watch after your furry friends as well :)

I have 3 years of babysitting experience and have always loved creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids. Most recently, I've worked at The Little Gym for over a year and a half, where I've helped children ages 1-12 build confidence, learn new skills, and have fun through movement and play. In high school, I also spent 2 years in Crossage P.E., where I traveled to a local elementary school to teach P.E. to 1st and 2nd graders. As a first-year college student, I bring a lot of energy, patience, and responsibility to care giving. I'm very protective, dependable, and genuinely enjoy connecting with children of all ages. Whether it's helping with homework, playing games, keeping routines on track, or simply being a positive role model, I love being someone kids feel safe and excited to be around. In addition to childcare, I'm also very comfortable caring for animals. I've grown up around fish, large and small dogs, cats, reptiles, and even insects, so I'm confident working with a wide variety of pets. During my previous babysitting jobs, I regularly helped with household chores and cleaning, and I also prepared meals for the families I worked with. I'm always willing to help around the house however I can. I also have my own car and a valid driver's license, which allows me to commute reliably and provide transportation if needed.
