Zoe arrived promptly and was immediately sweet with our kiddo. She engaged with our kid throughout the morning and gave us a sense of peace of mind. She sent us pictures of our kid while we were away which was appreciated. We look forward to having her babysit again.

I am currently a student studying to become a speech pathologist, with the intention of working in schools one day! I love working with kids, during the school year I work at a daycare with ages ranging from infants - 6 years old. This semester I also started working with Right At School in Berrien Springs Public Schools, with grades kindergarten-5th. I am also a big animal person and would enjoy watching over your pets as well, as I frequently cat and dog sit and have a couple cats myself. I would love to get to know you and your family:)

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.

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!

Hi Monica is great with our toddler. He is always tuckered out by the end of the day. She reads to him and got him to nap well. He loves to see her :) we will continue to hire Monica! Thanks! Ocean beach family

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!

I am a college student pursuing a degree in Astrophysics, with a focus on math. Through my experience as an after-school program instructor, I have developed a passion for teaching and working with children. I enjoy creating fun activities, playing games, and helping with homework. 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.
