I am a nanny with five years of paid experience and have cared for infants, toddlers, young kids & pre-teens. The safety of the kid (s) is my first priority. I always try to keep them engaged in educational activities such as reading, singing, playing, and drawing to foster their educational as well as psychosocial development. I limit screen time with younger kids and encourage them to read/play instead. I believe in gentle parenting. I am very compassionate in nature and love the kids like my own kids. I can give you excellent references from current & previous families. What sets me apart from other sitters is my passion for the kids, and also I have a degree in child psychology :) I am CPR trained, covid vaccinated/boosted, non-smoker, have my own car, and an animal lover! If you think I am a good fit, I look forward to chatting with you. Thank you!

I have been working with kids since my first job at the YMCA. There I worked in the interactive zone with toddlers up to pre teens. I have been a swim instructor and lifeguard. I previously nannied, while completing my cosmetology degree. My younger brother is 7 years younger than me so, I also grew up watching him and his friends. I absolutely love kids. They are an example of being 100% yourself without being affected by the world yet. I hope to be a mom one day. I’m very patient and I’m very interactive. Nowadays, I think it’s very important to have children doing activities so, they’re not always staring at a screen. I am also CPR certified. Since I work independently for myself as a Hair Stylist, I do have flexible availability! I would describe my personality as outgoing and young at heart. I also love to cook at home, so happy to help with meal prep or laundry or errands if necessary.

Hello, I have always loved kids! I have started babysitting at 12, then at 17 I worked with two special needs kids and they were so sweet! At 18, I moved to NY to spend 8 weeks at an overnight summer camp and had the youngsters who were 5! I am CPR certified and am a college student, studying communication sciences and disorders.

I was a teacher for 20 years and have been a full time nanny and tutor for the last 22 years. I have worked with children that have been diagnosed with a form of Autism in addition to taking care of a 4 pound preemie that was colicky and had special medical needs. I have experience tutoring children with A.D.H.D and have worked with very active 16 month old twins. I am physically fit, very active and have an overabundance amount of energy. With my background experience, there is no challenging situation that I cannot master. I am registered with some of the top nanny agencies in San Diego and Orange County. They have performed a full extensive background check and I am registered with Trustline and Live Scan. I am also C.P.R. and First Aid certified and have been for the last 25 years. Most agencies charge an entire's month salary for top quality nannies. I am looking for a part time position with the right family. I have been working with several families that have found me through this site and through referrals. I can e-mail you my resume and several reference numbers if requested. An added note.........Children have always been my number one passion in life. I enjoy presenting them with new, fun and challenging activities. I truly enjoy watching their faces light up when they have finally mastered that difficult task that they have been working on. They have a way of brightening your day when everything else seems to be going wrong. I have been working with children since I was 15 years old. I honestly cannot imagine doing anything else as a profession. I LOVE children! Please consider me if you are truly looking for an exceptional caregiver with LOTS of experience.

I have been active on Sittercity for some time and it has allowed me to connect with many wonderful families with different dynamics and needs! Childcare has always been a passion of mine and because of that I aspire to be an elementary school teacher in the future! I’m currently in collage working towards an AA Degree in Child Development, just one small step in my educational journey! I have a few years of babysitting experience under my belt and I have previously worked at an after school program, where I would look after —mainly— kindergarteners and first graders. I am First Aid + CPR certified and I also have a drivers license and reliable car for travel. I am enthusiastic, calm, and want to help create a safe and supportive environment for the kids that I work with, that is also in tandem with the family’s needs!

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
