Monica B., Babysitter in La Jolla, CA 92037 with 20 years of paid experience

I am now available most days, nights or overnights! Either full (5 days/nights) or part time (1,2, or 3 days/nights) per week. I am used to working long hours, as most of my jobs have been for families within the medical community. In the meantime, I am also available for evening, your date nights, or overnights should you need a weekend away. Whatever your schedule is, please ask me, I may be able to help you, or work something out on a temporary basis. I graduated from C.E.R.T. (community emergency response team) Academy, taught by San Diego Fire-Rescue Dept. I am happy to be of service to my community in case of a disaster or terrorist attack. I have all three CPR certificates for infant, child, and adult. My first aid training exceeds that of the general public. I love babies/kids of all ages and they love me! I appreciate the hard work and sacrifice of our military families and I give military family discounts! If your child has any special needs, such as medical or behavioral, I may charge a little more. You may contact me by text message or calling. Please leave a message with your name, number, area you live in, and the times and date you are looking for a sitter and I will be happy to return your call as soon as I am able. Thank you!

Hi Monica is great with our toddler. He is always tuckered out by the end of the day. She reads to him and got him to nap well. He loves to see her :) we will continue to hire Monica! Thanks! Ocean beach family

Hi! My name is Jailey! I am 24 years old, from Orange, CA, and am fully vaccinated. I have experience in high-profile nannying, long-term nannying, and babysitting as well as experience working with children with disabilities, autism, infants, twins, and more. I love going to the beach, reading, and spending time with my family. I am the oldest of 5 kids so I have a lot of experience in taking care of children of all ages! I am fun, energetic, and love doing fun activities whenever I can. I recently just graduated from GCU with a Bachelor of Science in Health Care Administration. There’s pretty much nothing I won’t do from helping with homework, changing diapers, driving, helping around the house, etc.! I cant wait to hopefully be able to meet you and your family!

We booked Jailey last minute to help watch our 17 month old while we attended wedding events. Our daughter can be hard to please at this age and she did amazing with Jailey! It’s very clear that Jailey is experienced and comfortable with kids. She gave us updates and send cute photos while we were gone. She was very flexible with me changing the times last minute, was responsive and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Jailey for baby sitting!

Sandra has been watching our baby regularly for a few months now, and we love her professionalism and transparency. She always confirms with us every time and communicates often if her schedule ever shifts or she is running behind. Sandra is up front with her expectations as a caregiver and will provide guidance as an experienced childcare professional. I would recommend her to any family looking for routines and structured care.

Pietra watched our two little boys (3 & 1) for a long date night. She made us feel incredibly comfortable from the start and the boys warmed up to her instantly. It was clear she had a lot of experience in working with younger kids and knew how to keep them engaged (and well behaved). She did an excellent job getting them fed, bathed, and off to bed on time. Our oldest was so comfortable with her that he fell asleep on her lap on the couch. Pietra went above and beyond to make sure the house was cleaned up, too. We'll 100% use her again. Thank you!

Terri O., Babysitter in La Jolla, CA 92037 with 30 years of paid experience

I was a licensed day care provider for over 20 years.  I am Covid vaccinated!   Now that my own 3  children are grown  I enjoy doing childcare/babysitting in other's homes.  I studied child development in college.  Children and families are my passion and I really enjoy this line of work.  My hobbies include tennis, hiking, running half marathons and boating.  I have lots of experience and regularly care for infants. I can guarantee you that your children will be loved and receive  excellent care when I am with them.  I enjoy interacting with the children I watch.  I like to read to them, play games, sing songs ect.  I believe it is very important for parents to be able to enjoy their time away from their children knowing that their children are safe, having fun and well cared for.  I am fun, flexible and ready to help!

Antigone helped with our 3 school age kids at the hotel resort 2 days in a row. The kids really enjoyed her and were glad to have her back. She entertained them in ways we hadn’t even considered. Traffic in this area along with road work is an issue but we had given ourselves a cushion for time and parking. She followed directions well. Would definitely hire again.

Delaney was so wonderful to work with! We visit California multiple times a year and we have now requested her to be our sitter every time we are visiting because she was so great with our 2 boys who are 6 and 3 years old. She is very reliable and responsible with our kids. Delaney also made our kids feel very comfortable. Thank you Delaney!!

Hey! My name is Malia Foucault, and I absolutely love caring for children. For as long as I can remember, I have loved kids. I was a caregiver for two boys, ages 10 and 8, for about two years.

I will be a junior at San Diego State University next fall. I am majoring in liberal studies with an emphasis in elementary education. I have three years of paid experience with infants, elementary-level children, and middle school-age children. I am CPR and first aid certified and ready to create a fun, positive, safe environment for your kids!

Thoughtful, detail-oriented, caring, reliable, collaborative and communicative. Khadija embodies everything we were looking for in not only a sitter, but someone who truly cared in providing us with help in our home. She was diligent in keeping up with our kids schedules, which is difficult for us to do on our own at times! She helped our 10 year old son track and manage a daily schedule to keep up with his homework, studying, reading, and activities at the speed that supported his growth into independently managing his daily to do's. She provided rides to our older daughter and keep up with the demands of her high school activities and sports practice. We highly recommend Khadija as a caretaker and someone who will take the time to get to know your household and support needs on a regular basis..

I am a college student pursuing a degree in Astrophysics, with a focus on math. Through my experience as an after-school program instructor, I have developed a passion for teaching and working with children. I enjoy creating fun activities, playing games, and helping with homework. Outside of working with children, I am a research assistant at SDSU, where I have developed strong reliability, communication, and organization skills. While I love having fun, safety is always my top priority when it comes to providing a positive and comfortable environment for children.
