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!

I am currently a student studying to become a speech pathologist, with the intention of working in schools one day! I love working with kids, during the school year I work at a daycare with ages ranging from infants - 6 years old. This semester I also started working with Right At School in Berrien Springs Public Schools, with grades kindergarten-5th. I am also a big animal person and would enjoy watching over your pets as well, as I frequently cat and dog sit and have a couple cats myself. I would love to get to know you and your family:)

Hello! My name is Suzane. I am 38 years old and live in San Carlos, close to La Mesa. I have over 16 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. I've worked for many families in San Diego, and some that I still keep in touch with and even babysit for from time to time. I can provide care for up to two children at the same time. I can help with all baby/child related duties, and I'm also happy to help with most light house chores. I am reliable, punctual and trustworthy. I am currently available and looking for a family to work for full-time (40 hours a week). I'm looking to start with another wonderful family as soon as possible. I am looking for a family who lives within 18 miles at most from my home, and one that I can work with for at least a year. Please send me a message if you are looking for a full-time nanny, and I will get back to you as quickly as I can. Thank you and looking forward to speaking with you!

Suzie started working with us as a full-time nanny in early 2017, taking care of our younger children, Diego (1yo) and Martina (2.5yo). We have known Suzie since summer 2015, when she became our go-to babysitter, taking care of the two of them as well as their older brother, Nico (4.5yo), oftentimes, whenever we needed a trustworthy carer to stay with the kids whenever we had to travel for work or simply having a date. The three of them absolutely love Suzie, always asking when she's going to babysit again! Regarding her day-to-day job, she started looking after Martina on an occasional basis when she was 9mo, and has got to know Diego from birth, so she has been key to their development. Since she started working for us full-time, se has helped with sleep training, potty training, and letting them know how to socialize and make new friends. Suzie is very friendly, tidy, responsible, caring, and reliable, always proactive to help us all with daily tasks and errands. She is very good at keeping us in the loop and will give us a detailed 'report' on how the day went and how everyone did every day. I'd recommend Suzie to anyone looking for a highly trustworthy and loving nanny. Please reach out to me if you need a more detailed review on her work with us or if you are looking for references.

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.

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

Taking care of children is a fun and fulfilling experience for me. I am CPR and first aid certified. During high school, I worked and volunteered at a family child care facility, where I helped coordinate and facilitate activities with the children as well as help with some of the housekeeping. Then, in college, I was a reading tutor at an after-school program, where I helped grade school students complete their homework and improve their reading skills. While in college, I studied abroad in France, where I worked as a babysitter for a French family. I was responsible for picking up the child from school and teaching him English. I cared for multiple Bay Area families before moving to San Diego. In San Diego, I have cared for numerous families and do after-school pickup, occasional babysitting, and date night sitting. I am bilingual in Spanish and know a few French words. I am passionate about caring for children as I am one of seven children and have five nieces and one nephew.

I have a background working as a camp counselor, and I am CPR and First Aid certified. I love being around kids and enjoy games, reading stories, and helping with homework. I am a responsible student with a flexible schedule on weekends and am happy to help with light housework as needed. I look forward to meeting your family!

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.

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.
