Find experienced babysitters in Oceanside, CA

Hi, my name is Lauren! I'm a recent graduate with my B.S in Psychology with a passion for understanding how individuals, communities, and societies can thrive in their environments. This can translates to providing reliable, engaging, compassionate, and fun childcare. I'm 23 and love to spend time outside, do art, backpack, read, and travel. I've had a lot of experience working with kids of all ages and l've worked with kids in different settings for over 9 years. Most recently I worked with young kids in a residential mental health treatment facility, supporting kids with their daily routine and in crisis. That being said, I have experience working with kids diagnosed with a variety of mental health conditions including ADHD, ASD, PTSD, ODD, and others. Being a resource and finding ways for kids and families to access wellness, safety, and support is really important to me.

Hi, I lead a life focused on creating a positive atmosphere for both myself and those around me. I would consider myself reserved, yet in the right environment my bubbly side shines through. I would consider myself a busy body so schedules and organization have always been a big part of my life. I love to clean and in most cases find it relaxing. Thanks to my mom I love to cook and have a lot of experiences with easy meals that are super delicious. I have a lot of experience working with kids and find that they bring out the bubbly side in me the most. I have experience working as an intern at Pilgrims Preschool from 2018 to 2019. From this, I was able to learn fun activities and the proper ways to teach children from ages 2-4. From 2014-2020 I also volunteered in my church nursery, working with kids ages 0 to 2. I believe teaching and playing through art and nature is a major step in the personal growth of children! During my first nanny job I was responsible for caring for a 1yr old, 3 yr old and 5yr old. I was responsible for getting them dressed and cooking breakfast in the morning. I would then pack snacks and the diaper bag for the days adventure. After the park I cooked lunch and nap time started. During nap time I would clean and do laundry as well as organize anything the parents needed me to. I was also responsible for organizing the children’s schedule as well as looking after the children’s fabulous 99yr old great grandmother. More recently I worked for a 18month and 3yr old (now 3 and 5) and I was their nanny for a year till I started my college journey but I still babysit them frequently and consider them family! My last nanny job was for 8month old twins (now 22 months) and I was with them for over a year part time but I am now moving and I will miss them so much! Over all as a nanny my goal is to make the children happy and the parents lives easier so that they can spend the most time with their kids once I leave. Only the best to come, Olivia

Why do you love being a sitter? I genuinely enjoy being around kids and creating a fun, safe environment for them to grow and explore. I grew up helping take care of my two younger siblings and spent a lot of time with my younger cousins, so being around children has always felt natural to me. I love building connections with kids, whether we’re doing crafts, playing games, or just having snack time. What experience do you have? I am currently nannying for two preschool aged children. Along with caring for my siblings and cousins, I also volunteered at Arcadia Recreation’s summer camp for a full summer. There, I helped lead games, arts and crafts, and supervised snack breaks, which gave me hands-on experience in keeping kids engaged and entertained in a group setting. What skills and training do you have? I am CPR and First Aid certified through a two-year Sports Medicine program, where I learned how to handle basic medical situations and keep children safe in emergencies. I'm also very organized and responsible—I always make sure things are clean, tidy, and running smoothly. I'm happy to help with light housekeeping and keeping play areas neat, which I know can make a big difference for busy families

Hi there! My name is Jillian, and I am locally based in the Oceanside/San Diego area. I just recently graduated with my B.A. in Sociology at CSUSM & plan on pursing my PhD next year! I’m a free-spirited, joyful person who loves to laugh, read, write, create art, swim in the ocean, enjoy nature, and hunt for unique vintage finds while thrifting! I bring nearly a decade of hands-on childcare experience, working with children from newborns to teens (typically ages 0–14). I genuinely love creating engaging and imaginative activities that help kids learn and grow—whether we’re crafting, reading, exploring outside, or just enjoying a cozy day at home. I also have light experience with Montessori-style caregiving, if that aligns with your family’s values. I’ve worked long-term with several families (5+ years) and would be happy to provide references upon request. I’m very comfortable with overnights as well & have years of experience and have stayed up to 2 weeks for a family! I’ve managed larger groups, with plenty of experience caring for 4–6 children at a time. I also have over a year of experience being a “household manager/helper” dealing with more tasks like meal prep, grocery shopping, family planning, errands, laundry, pick up/drop off, light housecleaning & so much in between! If this is of any interest to you, please contact me as well with any questions! I look forward to connecting, so feel free to reach out—I’d love to chat!

I’ll follow your lead on household routines, rules, and communication preferences.

Hello! My name is Isabella Shattenberg. I am 20 years old, and currently living in Oceanside, CA. I moved from Santa Barbara in January and am actively continuing my studies at Santa Barbara City College online. I am an artist, surfer, and have a big heart for children! I love kids and have qualified experience in nannying, babysitting, and educational support. Though originally from Santa Barbara, I spent most of my childhood in Madagascar, where my parents currently live and work today. I grew up helping at the Sarobidy Maternity Center, surrounded by newborns and mothers—experiences that sparked my deep love for caregiving. Over the past 20 years, I’ve lived in in several countries all of which have shaped me into someone who is adaptable, nurturing, and culturally aware. My goal is always to always create a safe, loving, and enriching environment where kids can thrive. If interested, I would love to meet your family in person and get better acquainted!

Hi i’m Hunter and i’m 19 years old from Vista California! I’ve been babysitting since I was about 14 years old on and off. From the age of 14-16 I’ve helped families by watching their kids for date nights or throughout their working shifts as well as taking care of their animals. The age group i’ve watched has been from 3-11 years old. I haven’t sat in awhile due to years of hours a week of competitive all star cheerleading training, school and work on top of all of that so balancing it all was rough but made it through. I am currently enrolled in Palomar college taking classes as well as working as a server at Islands in Vista. I absolutely love early morning hikes, working out, playing with my dogs , yoga and beach walks. I am a very active person, I love to be outdoors and I love to get my body moving at all times!

Hi! My name is Abbey and I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old, but in the last 6 years I have made childcare my main focus. I love children and would be beyond happy to meet your family. I have pets and love them, if you have them then that’s great. I have experience with kiddos ranging from 8 months to 18 years old. However, I’m a quick learner so if you have a newborn I’m happy to adapt to your family’s needs. Just tell me something one time, and I’ll do my best to remember and execute and problem solve so next time you don’t have to teach me again. I am warm, social, outgoing, and dependable. I’m happy to jump on a phone call to introduce myself further and explain my rates or specialties. I’ve been crowned the “most fun nanny” on several occasions by both parents and their kiddos. Looking forward to working with you!
