Hello Families! A little about me is that I grew up taking care of all of my 4 siblings make sure they were fed and taken care of while also making sure the house is being taken care of too, I learned that I loved to clean. When I turned 18 I applied for Americorps and that is where I got to work with kids in preschool and school age kids and I even worked with middle school kids as well! And that is where I worked for about three years gaining more experience everyday working with all types of different kids!
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.
Hi! I'm the oldest of five kids in my family and absolutely love kids! I am currently in a master of occupational therapy program at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences and hope to become a pediatric OT. I have worked for the past year as a registered behavior technician in an ABA therapy clinic with kids with autism in both clinic and school settings. I am CPR and First-Aid certified. I have 7 years of paid babysitting experience with children ages newborn to 13 years old. I have helped in my church’s nursery and disabilities ministry for 3 years and have coached club volleyball for kids ages elementary through high school for the past 4 years. In addition to nannying, I’m happy to cook, run errands, help out with homework, and provide transportation to school or extracurricular activities. I love to make up fun games, do crafts, and play outside with the kids I nanny! My friends would describe me as happy, kind, organized, and compassionate! I’m confident in caring for children of all ages and would love to help your family out however you need!
“Amazing professionalism and punctuality! She immediately jumped into connecting with our son and he had some a great time with her. ”
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!
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. :)
