Hi parents! I am a working professional by day and a babysitter by night and weekend. I recently graduated from Pepperdine University, where I majored in Marketing and also studied Child Development and Psychology. I currently live in Poway and work in Rancho Bernardo. My weekdays are spent in the office, but my evenings and weekends are generally free and I'd love to spend that time helping you have the night off! As the oldest of three girls, caregiving comes naturally to me and I have over ten years of paid experience nannying, babysitting, pet sitting and tutoring. I am comfortable caring for children of all ages, as well as children with special needs and disabilities. When babysitting, I enjoy story time, arts and crafts, board games and sports, and I'm also happy to provide homework help, run errands, prep meals and do light housekeeping. I am flexible when it Read more comes to scheduling, frequently available on short notice and can provide overnight care. I have my own car and a clean driving record, so I am comfortable providing transportation to and from activities if needed. Additionally, I have current certifications for both Infant/Child CPR and First Aid. Fun fact: I'm a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) and have experience teaching kids yoga. I look forward to working with you and getting to know your family!

Veronica has been our go-to babysitter for our daughter for more than 4 years now and we LOVE her! She's dependable, sweet and is so great with children of all ages. We started working with Veronica when our daughter was only two and now she just started Kindergarten. If Veronica has an opening in her schedule she always checks in to see if we need a date night which is always so appreciated. I highly recommend Veronica for any parent who needs peace-of-mind that your children are in capable and loving hands. Veronica is truly a treasure and an angel for our daughter.

Veronica has babysat for us frequently over the last year. She is always on time and great with the kids. She is engaged with the kids playing games and reading books. I would recommend Veronica to someone looking for a reliable sitter.

I have used Veronica several times and she is great with the kids (10&13). She has very good communication skills, is very neat and organized and responsible. I have also used her to drive my kids to and from events and feel very comfortable with her in the role as well. I highly recommend her and my kids enjoy interacting with her.

Veronica was very kind and sweet with our children. She was attentive and asked plenty of questions about the children’s needs. She also communicated very well with us and the children really enjoyed having over. I will recommend to other parents and will ask her to babysit for us in the near future.

Veronica was an amazing babysitter to both of my children. She sat for us on more than one occasion and she was always very attentive, kind and on time. We loved having her come to sit, and the kids enjoyed having her. Veronica communicated well and always listened to our instructions concerning the kids. Our daughter even asked once why it was time for Veronica to go (after we returned) because she wanted her new friend to sleepover! If she hadn't relocated, we would definitely still be using her. It will be hard trying to replace her as our usual sitter!

Veronica is such a wonderful person. She is patient, loving, and gently firm with our daughter. She does such a wonderful job with homework help and just keeping our daughter on track. We highly recommend!

Veronica has been working with our family for close to a year and a half. She's responsive, warm, dependable, and THE BEST with the kiddos. She's great at keeping my husband/me informed while we're out, so we know our son is always in great hands, and she always asks thoughtful questions each time so she's up to speed on recent development milestones. Can't recommend her enough!

Veronica cared for our two girls (3 and 1) for a week while our regular nanny was on vacation and she was wonderful! Veronica is kind, caring and respectful and our daughters loved her right away! Our little ones are very active and my youngest was teething and slightly cranky, but Veronica wasn’t phased in the least- she handled it all quite easily and with a whole lot of patience. She was also extremely punctual and was flexible regarding scheduling. So happy to have found a sitter that we trust!

We had Veronica babysit for our 3 year old son. While he takes a bit to warm-up to new people, Veronica was great at making him feel comfortable. She also kept us posted so we knew how he was doing though the night, which was great. A few days later, he was still asking about his 'new friend' and when she was coming again. We would definitely recommend Veronica!

Veronica did a very nice job looking after my nine-year-old. She was prompt polite and kept me informed that he was doing well over text messages so that I could enjoy my evening

Veronica is responsible and trustworthy. Always on time and very flexible scheduling as well. Veronica played very well with our two year old daughter, and we felt very confident leaving her behind in Veronica's care. She tidied up and did laundry. Everything we asked and more. Would definitely hire again and recommend to other parents.

Veronica is such a pleasure to work with. She is incredibly reliable and was great with our one year old. Veronica was great with communication before our first booking. She stopped by to meet our son and get to know us which I appreciated. What solidified her as our choice of sitter was that she asked all the right questions showing how experienced she was with kids. She has a calming and warm demeanor which is exactly what we would hope for in a sitter. I highly recommend Veronica to all parents out there, especially new parents finding a sitter for the first time!

We love Veronica and hope to never lose her! She takes great care of our 2 and 6 year old, plays games and sing them to sleep. She is reliable and calm. She's a great addition to our family!

I recently hired Veronica to babysit my 16 month old daughter. We travelled to Malibu from out of state for a wedding and I was really nervous about leaving my baby with a complete stranger as I'm sure any parent can relate to. I spoke with Veronica on Facetime in the weeks leading upto our visit and Veronica very quickly erased any concerns I had. She's a very articulate, smart, personable young women who is confident in her abilities. Veronica was always very professional and never gave me any reason for concern. Upon meeting her in person, she has a great energy about her and my little girl was quick to warm upto her. Ofcourse, it wasnt all smooth sailing. There were a few tears when mummy and daddy eventually had to leave but Veronica was cool, calm and collected and handled the situation like a pro. She kept me updated throughout the night on how my daughter was doing (upon my request) which calmed my nerves and put my mind at ease. She took direction well and seemed to really enjoy the company of my child. Overall, Veronica was a superstar and I would have no hesitation using her again or recommending anyone else do the same. Im also happy to act as a refernce should any other parent like to speak with me.

Veronica has been babysitting my five-year-old Max since the beginning of the school year, and I could not be more pleased with the results. On the days I need childcare in the morning, she comes to our home from 6:30-8:30am, getting Max for school and driving him there with ease. Instead of feeling rushed before school, mornings are a breeze on the days Veronica comes. It is so nice to be able to leave for work early in the morning knowing that my son is in good hands with her. Veronica is punctual, and even arrives a few minutes early to help with the transition. She has the whole morning routine down, and does an excellent job making Max breakfast, picking out clothes for school, helping him brush his teeth, and getting his school lunch ready. She knows how to get Max out the door on time and with a smile on his face, and drives him to school safely. Veronica is honest, reliable, responsible, and certainly worth hiring. I really value her as a caregiver, and she has become like family to us over the last several months. I would recommend her without hesitation, and I've already referred her to one of my close friends for date nights and overnights. She now babysits for their family regularly, and they love her too! I am so lucky to have found Veronica. Schedule with her while you can, you won't be disappointed! -Candice

I met with and hired Veronica in July with the understanding that she was to be our morning sitter for the school year. She seemed great and we agreed on all the terms discussed. I texted her right after we met and asked her to confirm that she was 100% committed, so I could take the add off sittercity and feel confident that this box was checked. She texted me 3 days before school was starting to let me know that she had forgotten to tell me that back in June, she had also agreed to help out another family in the mornings and that not only would she need to bring that child to our home 2-3 days a week but on those days, she would not be able to arrive at the time we had agreed upon. To make matters worse, she also tried to demand more money because apparently the other family was going to be paying her more than what we had agreed to. We spoke on the phone and came to somewhat of an understanding that we both could live with. She was supposed to start with us this morning at 6:30 am. I texted at 7 am to make sure she gotten to our house okay and didn't hear back. A few minutes later my daughters called me to let me know she was not there. I called Veronica and she didn't answer her phone. At 7:15, 45 minutes after she was supposed to be at our home, I got this text, "I'm having car trouble and can't get it to start and I'm really stressing out. I know you need someone reliable as your am sitter and it seems I just can't get it together. I'm really sorry." Needless to say, Veronica will not be working with our family. I would HIGHLY recommend NOT hiring her or placing any confidence in her as a sitter. She is simply unreliable and irresponsible.

Veronica did an excellent job babysitting our fussy 7 month old foster baby. Each night we came home our little Zak was content, clean and sleeping. 10/10 we would hire Veronica again without question. We trust her.

Veronica is a great representation of a well breed/raised up right young woman. In this generation of young people you tend to see a lot of attitude of "yah, whatever", texting and inattention to details. Veronica, was early to both the interview, which is a plus in my book. Being early means that she thought out the "what if's", such as what if I forget something, what if there's traffic or detour. She answered all of my questions, She's college bound. She's thrifty. She fair and honest. I asked her about her most challenging babysitting experience. She was candid. She has excellent communication skills. Most importantly she connected with my children. Second most important they responded to her positively. She is welcome to sit for us as long as she would like. She may use me as a reference. Call me anytime for questions about Veronica's performance. She has my number.
