Find a last-minute babysitter in San Marcos, CA

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.

Hello I'm Sabrina! I'm 29 and been a nanny/babysitter for 9 years. I have experience with children newborn-12 years. I also have 3 years experience in the preschool environment with ages 2-4 year olds.

Bonjour, My name is Sylviane. I am a native of Switzerland and have been living in California now for the last 24 years. I have had the opportunity to be a stay at home mom while homeschooling my two children. My children are my best resume as they are kind, confident and considerate human beings. I am proud of them...as you can see :-) Here is a quick summary of my child care/education experience: French is my mother tongue and I have taught beginning and conversational French to students age 4-17, in small private group settings and in private tutoring. Also, for 4 years, I participated and taught in a neighborhood preschool with a group of 3-6 children. We mainly focused on values like creativity, kindness, cooperation, uniqueness and joy. In the last 3 years I have been a nanny for a family with a 9 month old and a 3 years old. That was the children's ages when I started. I can provide reference info. Feedbacks I have received describe me as a calm, loving, fun and creative person. I enjoy reinforcing children's interests through hands-on activities, reading and outdoor exploration. My approach focuses on nurturing and encouraging their natural curiosity and imagination, offering guidance when needed for problem solving, respectful communication and self regulation of emotions. Now that my children are grown and independent I am available and thrilled to offer my assistance and experience to your family. I look forward to meeting you and your child/ren. Please, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need more information. Sylviane

Hello, my name is Kasey I am a 32 year school contractor, previously a full-time nanny for 2 toddler boys with special needs. I am looking for families who need date nights on weeknights or weekends. I can do care during school breaks as well. I have had experience with children, ages 0 to 20plus years, specializing in individuals with disabilities and special needs. I have taken a child development class and have assisted in creating an educational preschool curriculum. I am willing to cook meals, make bottles, change diapers and help with homework. I love fun activities and am not afraid to sing, dance, and be silly with the kids. I truly believe childcare and teaching are my callings which inspired me to pursue my degree. For my pet parents, I am also an animal lover and more than comfortable with families who own pets, in fact I have my own pet sitting business as well. I am CPR and first aid certified for infants, children, and adults plus pets.

Hi there! My name is Sabrina, I’m 19 years old, and I recently moved to San Diego from the Bay Area in March to later go to school. I currently intern at a law firm and work as a restaurant host, and I’m looking to explore new hobbies and opportunities in my free time I love creating a fun, positive, and comfortable environment where children can feel safe, happy, and free to be themselves. I’m happy to help with things like playing games, arts and crafts, preparing simple meals and snacks, bedtime routines, homework help, and keeping children entertained. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, so I take being reliable, communicative, and punctual seriously. I also have reliable transportation, which allows me to get to and from jobs dependably and on time. My schedule can vary, but I keep my availability updated and am happy to discuss scheduling in advance. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and help make your life a little easier!
