Hi families! š My name is Alyssa, and Iām a 27-year-old kindergarten teacher who recently moved to San Diego. Iāve been babysitting for about 9 years while living in San Francisco, and Iām excited to start building meaningful, trusting connections with families here in SD. Iām a fun, energetic, and caring sitter with experience caring for children of all agesāfrom newborns to teens. I genuinely love spending time with kids through reading stories, playing games, doing crafts, and creating engaging activities that feel both fun and safe. Iām currently teaching kindergarten, so Iām available for weeknight and weekend babysitting. I have a reliable car and clean driving record if transportation is needed, and Iām CPR certified for both infants and adults. If youāre looking for a warm, dependable sitter who truly enjoys working with children, Iād love to connect. Feel free to message me with any questionsāthank you! š
āShe came in with the perfect energy for my 4 year old twins, engaging, playful, they had such an amazing night hanging with her. ā

Hello families! I'm a friendly, energetic Nanny who loves staying activeāwhether it's taking kids to the park, going on walks, or enjoying quiet time indoors with books and building blocks. My goal is to provide high-quality childcare for busy parents and offer peace of mind knowing your little ones are safe, happy, and well cared for. I've been working with children since I was thirteen, starting as a camp counselor at summer and sports camps, and volunteering with outreach programs. I have five years of experience as a professional nanny. For the past two years, Iāve also worked as an EMT while pursuing a career in nursing. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including infants as young as six weeks old. Also I love cats and dogs! :) Thank you for taking the time to read my profileāI look forward to connecting with you and your family!
āKelli is a true blessing! My son instantly loved her and she really did an amazing job in both caring for my son and making us feel comfortable. Will certainly welcome her to sit for us again when sheās available! ā
Hello! I have my bachelors in child and adolescences development and apply my studies to the fullest when it comes to working with children. I have the most experience with infants-3rd graders as those are the grades Iāve worked in, however; I am comfortable with all ages! I am infant and child CPR certified, as well as first aid, through American Red Cross. have nannied professionally for 8 years for multiples & multiple ages. I love how kids bring out the goofy, adventurous side of me and their zest for life is infectious. I am from Boulder, CO which influenced my love of being outdoors and living an active lifestyle thatās translated to CA being a beach lover!
Hello! My name is Chloe and I am an enthusiastic childcare professional dedicated to encouraging the development of the whole, healthy child. I am available occasional weekday evenings and weekends for sitting. I have my Bachelor's of Science in Developmental Psychology with a minor in sociology and more than enough Early Childhood Education and Development credits under my belt. In regards to my experience in the early childhood field, I have spent the majority of my time for the past 10 years working with young children of different ages and aptitudes, in both schools and in the home. I started nannying during my undergraduate career and then worked in a private French-American preschool for 2 years prior to temporarily moving to LA. During my 6 months in LA, I worked as a lead infant teacher in an early learning center. Now that Iām back in San Diego, I have been caring for 2 kiddos full-time and working occasional date-nights and weekends (if COVID precautions have been taken). I have experience with children of all ages from newborns to 13 year olds, as well as children with special needs (autism, behavioral problems, visual impairments). I specialize in early childhood, so the majority of the jobs I take are with children under 5 years old. I am very patient and understanding but also a believer in firmness and care/love. My outgoing personality and high level of energy allow me to keep up with even the most rambunctious little ones. My babysitting style is characterized by playing, creativity, exploration, and books/reading, and I do my best to keep TVs/tablets off when I babysit. In my free time I enjoy being outside, hiking, rollerskating, swimming, reading, spending time with my family, and seeing all the children I had cared for. It is my goal to provide enriching, enjoyable, and meaningful experiences for your children while making sure they feel safe and loved. Magda Gerber says it best: āWhen we help a child to feel secure, feel appreciated, feel that āsomebody is deeply, truly interested in meā, by the way we just look, the way we just listen, we influence that childās whole personality, the way that child sees life.ā If you have any questions or would like to know more about what I did as a nanny for each family, please let me know; I'd be happy to answer any questions about my previous employment and am more than happy to send a resume and references.
āKind, fun, brought her own fun activities for the kids, was attentive to their needs, and was thorough in remembering bedtime routines. Appreciate it!!!ā
