Hi! I’m Cam :) Spending time with kids genuinely makes me happy. Over the years, I’ve looked after my nieces and babysat for many families, experiences that meant a lot to me. I’m reliable, kind, and enjoy helping kids feel safe and comfortable. I’d love to meet your little ones and become someone they’re excited to spend time with. Thanks so much for considering me.

Hi I'm Meijia! I recently moved to San Diego from Denver. I am looking to find some great families to help out since I had to say goodbye to the ones in Denver! I love spending time with young kids and being around their fun-loving energy. I enjoy being outside, doing crafts, and playing games!! I have babysat for various families over the years. In addition to babysitting when I can, I have also taught swim lessons for kids ages 3-12, worked at a park district summer camp for kids ages 4-13, and volunteered at a camp for children with special needs. I have also nannied daily for a family with two young girls, so I can get creative with staying busy and active!

“Meijia was so helpful to us with family assistant/mother’s helper tasks when we fell behind due to a hectic week. Her support gave me the opportunity to spend my limited time on quality time with my kids instead of doing household tasks like laundry. She was professional, prompt, friendly, and needed very little direction.”

Hi! My name is Leilah and I'm a recent graduate of SMU. I am almost a Certified Medical Assistant with hopes to apply to nursing school soon!
