Laura L., Babysitter in Vista, CA 92081 with 10 years of paid experience

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.

We are so thankful to have met Laura! I was very nervous to hire a sitter (after a few historical prior experiences of finding nannies on Facebook); however, Laura was so patient and kind with all my of my inquiries. She provided all of the information I requested, such as background check and Trustline certification (gold standard, which I personally called to verify). After meeting her and checking references, I truly felt at ease. Lastly, and just as important, she is wonderful with the kids. She really is a "career nanny" and it makes a difference. When I say that, I mean that she takes her job very seriously. She is very intentional and focused with the kids. She goes from activity A to activity B to activity C.... vs. just letting kids roam on their own. Laura is extremely hands on and active with the kids. She is worth every penny for both the peace of mind as well and the structured play she provides the kids. We are very thankful to have met Laura!

Olivia  B., Babysitter in Vista, CA 92081 with 6 years of paid experience

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

Olivia is a bright light! Very engaging with my 13 month old as well as super responsible, thoughtful, and caring. She's incredibly hard working and has essentially become my right hand in running the household in all daily chores.

Thankful for Alejandra, she ended up being our datenight babysitter when I wasnt even looking (I just needed a sitter for a wedding that my husband and I were attending to) which says a lot about her. I never have to worry about her being late or call out last minute. My little boy always asks for her which I can understand why, she always plans a fun afternoon full of activities! 10/10 recommend.

This was our first time hiring a sitter. Arleth was such a perfect sitter, very punctual, within minutes my kid got very comfortable with her, and he kept asking when she will visit again. She has such an amazing personality to gel well with kids. We will definitely hire her again.

Rebeca Z., Babysitter in Vista, CA 92081 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Rebeca and I love kids! It's always something new with them and I enjoy seeing their little personalities come out. One of my favorite things I have experienced with working with kids is seeing how every little one is always different in some way or another. I enjoy cooking/baking, reading, and enjoying the outdoors, especially the beach! I am responsible, reliable, communicative, caring, and extremely family-oriented. Although I am young, I have a long history of child care, such as paid child care, camp counseling, children's ministry, and a couple more experiences as well. I am dedicated to giving 100 percent to the things I am committed to, and I love doing everything knowing I am giving it my all! Thank you for your time!

Jean gets along well with my 13 month old. So far I like very much her practical approach regarding my toddler but I'm especially impressed with her punctuality and the reliability she has demonstrated on the job. This is a reliable and committed baby sitter.

Hunter K., Babysitter in Vista, CA 92081 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi i’m Hunter and i’m 19 years old from Vista California! I’ve been babysitting since I was about 14 years old on and off. From the age of 14-16 I’ve helped families by watching their kids for date nights or throughout their working shifts as well as taking care of their animals. The age group i’ve watched has been from 3-11 years old. I haven’t sat in awhile due to years of hours a week of competitive all star cheerleading training, school and work on top of all of that so balancing it all was rough but made it through. I am currently enrolled in Palomar college taking classes as well as working as a server at Islands in Vista. I absolutely love early morning hikes, working out, playing with my dogs , yoga and beach walks. I am a very active person, I love to be outdoors and I love to get my body moving at all times!
