Hi families! I'm Taylor. I’ve been caring for kids since I was 16, and after 12 years of experience, I’ve developed a true passion for working with children. I have a bachelor's degree in Child Development and am currently in law school, but spending time with kids is still one of my favorite things to do! Over the years, I’ve worked as a nanny and in after-school programs, and I have some wonderful references who can vouch for my skills and dedication. Fun-fact: I’ve worked as a nanny through three trusted nanny agencies nationwide, and I’ve built strong relationships that reflect in my great recommendations. One of my jobs sent me to Finland for a year for newborn care. I'm also CPR certified, have reliable transportation, and always aim to create a fun, safe, and positive environment for the little ones in my care. I'm currently in graduate school and continue to babysit part time and I can wait to add more families! Experience: Newborns: 8 years 1-13: 10 years Looking forward to connecting with you and your family soon!
Hi! My name is Frida, and I have over five years of experience working with children in both preschool teacher and teaching assistant roles. I currently work as a preschool lead teacher, where I create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for young children while supporting their learning, daily routines, and emotional development. I have a lot of experience with infants and toddlers (4 months all the way to 24 months) but have also worked with kids of all ages as well! I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, highly organized, and believe in maintaining open communication with families. Whether it’s playing, reading, helping with routines, or providing a caring and positive environment, I always strive to make children feel safe, supported, and happy. I would love the opportunity to care for your family and provide dependable, compassionate childcare you can trust
I have been babysitting for a little over 2 years now for children usually 5-10 years old. My younger brother is 9 years old and I have also had experience helping raise him his whole life. I have also housesitted and petsitted for both dogs and cats.
Hello!! My name is Martina! I just graduated at SDSU where I majored in Psychology with a minor in Counseling and Social Change. For the next year I am looking to build more experience working with children before applying to schools as a therapist specializing in family therapy. In the past I worked as a teacher's assistant at Dewey Elementary for third graders for a few months where I read with them and helped them with homework. I also babysat when living abroad in New Zealand, worked at a daycare with 1 year olds - 3 year olds from April 2025 - August 2025. Furthermore, I also spent last July working with autistic children (most about 2 years old) in Spain with a psychologist!

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
Lila P., parent

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
