Hi! My name is Diane, and I would love to help your family! I am new to Oceanside and currently looking for regular part-time or occasional employment. As a babysitter, I have 20+ years of childcare experience with children of all ages and in all kinds of environments, including traveling abroad. I am an energetic and positive individual with an unbeatable work ethic, and I consciously strive to anticipate and take care of a family's needs. I am willing to lend a hand anywhere I see a need, including doing laundry, buying groceries, mailing packages, organizing closets, helping with homework, and more. I love to bake, travel, listen to music, read, be outside, make crafts, go on adventures, and dance anywhere. A ballet dancer since the age of three, I performed professionally for 10+ years before transitioning into a career as a dance educator and teaching artist. After graduating from NYU with a M.A. in Dance Education, I spent five years in Chicago working for The Joffrey Ballet. I am thrilled to have recently returned to the West Coast where I can pursue my newfound passion for surfing as well as meet and work with wonderful new families; I hope to hear from you soon!

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.

Hi there! My name is Jillian, and I’m a local student based in the Oceanside/San Diego area, currently pursuing my B.A. in Sociology at CSUSM.

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 comfortable managing larger groups, with plenty of experience caring for 4–6 children at a time. If you have any questions or would like to connect, feel free to reach out—I’d love to chat!

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!
