Find nannies in El Cajon, CA

Hi! I’m Sydney :) the kind of sitter kids adore and parents trust. I’ve babysat for over 50 families and nannied for 5, from snuggly newborns to too-cool teens (and everything in between). Whether your child is shy, energetic, sensitive, or strong-willed…I meet them where they’re at and we always click. I’m big on fun, but even bigger on safety. I know how to soothe a baby, handle meltdowns like a pro, and keep older kids engaged (yes, even without screens!). I also have experience with special needs, including autism. I show up on time, I communicate clearly, and I’ve been asked back by almost every family I’ve worked with. Most even skip the app and text me directly now! Looking forward to meeting your family and bringing some extra joy (and calm!) to your day. — Sydney 💛

Hi, I’m Melanie. I am a dedicated childcare professional and educator with a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Development and a state-issued teaching permit. My background is rooted in early childhood education, and I have spent years in various settings, from running my own preschool classroom to working in specialized schools with children who have autism and other disabilities. Because of my additional training in school counseling, I am especially focused on emotional regulation and helping children feel secure and heard, no matter their age or needs. I know how stressful it can be to find someone you truly trust with your children, which is why I prioritize clear communication and consistency. I am proud to have built a reputation here on the app with positive reviews and the opportunity to work with nine repeat families. I also have extensive experience supporting families long-term, including a wonderful five-year placement with one family before they moved out of state, and I take pride in building those lasting, reliable relationships. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have a clean background, and have a current negative TB test. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment so you can feel completely at ease whenever you are away. I would love to connect, and talk more to answer questions.

Hello I’m a mother of 4 grown men. I raised my boys by myself but thrived for them to be strong, independent, hardworking, kind Christian men and those are strong morals that I have. For some reason I’m a magnet to kids lol which is amazing to me cause I love kids so I’ve acquired many many nieces and nephews. I go by Angel so I’m always “Auntie Angel” which I love. I love the outdoors, craft, art, music, animals, reading, movies, cooking, and anything adventurous so with that being said your child will definitely have an adventure with me everyday! Plus I’m strong believer in learning but I like the more creative ways to learn to make it fun and so you remember what you learn! I do have degree in computer programming (so I am smart :)), CNA (so I’ve taken care of elders with all their needs, which makes me very patient and compassionate), been server/GM at restaurant (so I’m responsible, clean, multi tasked, patient, prompt,loyal,trustworthy), and many other jobs. Also have CPR and first aid. Since I’m single and have no kids I’m free morning thru night. Call me anytime you want some adult time or need to run errands! I’m available and look forward to meeting your family!
