We reached out Riley for a last minute request to babysit our 18 month old daughter. Riley arrived on time and immediately connected with our daughter. She played with our daughter throughout the day, helped feed her, and kept her entertained. We had a really great experience with Riley and we highly recommend her to other parents. We look forward to inviting her back in the future.

Jen is an outstanding and reliable babysitter! She consistently shows initiative and creativity. She offered to help with potty training and is very knowledgeable about child development, having worked with children with ASD. She plays creatively with children and truly honors our screen-free policy. It’s clear she genuinely loves interacting with kids, and our daughter, who is particularly picky, absolutely loves her. We feel very lucky to have Jen!

Monica B., Babysitter in Santee, CA 92071 with 30 years of paid experience

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!

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.

Hello! I am a nationally certified EMT and a college graduate with a B.S. in neuroscience. I work as a Medical Assistant, but I am looking for babysitting work during evenings or on weekends.

I have experience working with large groups of children, as well as children with special needs. I have plenty of experience with infants and multiples. I also have two dogs and I am very comfortable with pets. While safety is always my first priority, I aim to provide a fun and enjoyable atmosphere for the kids.

Thoughtful, detail-oriented, caring, reliable, collaborative and communicative. Khadija embodies everything we were looking for in not only a sitter, but someone who truly cared in providing us with help in our home. She was diligent in keeping up with our kids schedules, which is difficult for us to do on our own at times! She helped our 10 year old son track and manage a daily schedule to keep up with his homework, studying, reading, and activities at the speed that supported his growth into independently managing his daily to do's. She provided rides to our older daughter and keep up with the demands of her high school activities and sports practice. We highly recommend Khadija as a caretaker and someone who will take the time to get to know your household and support needs on a regular basis..
