Ashley $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ashley, I’m going into my junior year of college next semester, and I’m 20 years old. I’m looking to babysit/nanny/dog sit this summer! I dog sat and occasionally baby sat for a family my first year of college but I have never formally had a job as a babysitter- however I’ve had jobs and done volunteering that have dealt with kids. I worked in a uniform clothing store last year. The clothing store had uniforms for many private schools and I would help children pick out their uniforms. I volunteered for 6 years every summer for vacation bible school and was in charge of a group of kids each week. I can drive kids (I have a car), am very good at arts and crafts, can tutor, and I’m athletic so I like outdoor activities. I am very patient, caring, kind, respectful, and easy to work with. I have a lot of free time this summer and would love to help babysit/nanny children!

Alexis $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Alexis and I am a 24 year old nanny and tutor. In 2024 I graduated from California State University San Marcos with a bachelor’s in Liberal Studies. In my degree program I have spent over 100 hours in classrooms, teaching and observing various grade levels. I have also done private tutoring and babysitting for several years. In my spare time I like to read, paint, and go for walks with my dogs. Most people would describe me as bubbly, energetic, and down to earth. I hope I am a great fit as your sitter!

Dayana $17 per hour for 1 child

I am a caring and responsible childcare provider with professional experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), specializing in working with children with autism and special needs. While I have not worked formally as a nanny, I am also a mother, which has given me hands-on experience in daily childcare, safety, and child development. I currently work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM, so I am available for afternoon, evening, and weekend childcare. I focus on supporting positive behavior, routine building, and developmental skills using structured and supportive strategies when needed. I am patient, reliable, and deeply committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for children.
