Terri O., Babysitter in Santee, CA 92071 with 30 years of paid experience

I was a licensed day care provider for over 20 years.  I am Covid vaccinated!   Now that my own 3  children are grown  I enjoy doing childcare/babysitting in other's homes.  I studied child development in college.  Children and families are my passion and I really enjoy this line of work.  My hobbies include tennis, hiking, running half marathons and boating.  I have lots of experience and regularly care for infants. I can guarantee you that your children will be loved and receive  excellent care when I am with them.  I enjoy interacting with the children I watch.  I like to read to them, play games, sing songs ect.  I believe it is very important for parents to be able to enjoy their time away from their children knowing that their children are safe, having fun and well cared for.  I am fun, flexible and ready to help!

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!

Sandra has been watching our baby regularly for a few months now, and we love her professionalism and transparency. She always confirms with us every time and communicates often if her schedule ever shifts or she is running behind. Sandra is up front with her expectations as a caregiver and will provide guidance as an experienced childcare professional. I would recommend her to any family looking for routines and structured care.

Monica B., Babysitter in Santee, CA 92071 with 20 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.

Malia  F., Babysitter in Santee, CA 92071 with 3 years of paid experience

Hey! My name is Malia Foucault, and I absolutely love caring for children. For as long as I can remember, I have loved kids. I was a caregiver for two boys, ages 10 and 8, for about two years. I was trusted with picking the children up from school, leading them with homework, and assisting them with rides to and from sports, restaurants, and friends' houses. I will be a junior at San Diego State University next fall. I am majoring in liberal studies with an emphasis in elementary education. I have three years of paid experience with infants, elementary-level children, and middle school-age children. I am CPR and first aid certified and ready to create a fun, positive, safe environment for your 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..

Outside of working with children, I am a research assistant at SDSU, where I have developed strong reliability, communication, and organization skills. While I love having fun, safety is always my top priority when it comes to providing a positive and comfortable environment for children.
