Sittercity helps Bonita families find the best child care providers

Hi! I'm Neil, a preschool teacher’s aide. You’ve already noticed I’m more male than most sitters- but then so is every well-loved daddy and grandpa you’ve ever known! And I’m older, but that’s what experience looks like. With it comes mature judgement, no drama, and a fully developed sense of responsibility, characteristics you’ll want in a sitter. Babies and small children are quick to warm to me and feel safe when I’m with them. I think they sense the daddy and the grandpa in me. My calm, quiet nature, combined with a gentle voice, puts them at ease. And when they need a little extra, I’ll rock them, walk them, sing quietly to them- whatever it takes to comfort them. I love reading to children, and I bring a special bag of books with me when I come to a home or school. I always try to make stories come alive, reading expressively and creating voices for each character! Children’s earliest years are very important. Gentleness, kindness, empathy, and personal responsibility are some of the character traits that can positively shape children’s personalities for a lifetime, but those traits must be cultivated while they are little. CHILDCARE EXPERIENCE For me, childcare has been an early and lifelong interest: 🔹For the past 3 years, I’ve been working through a staffing agency as a substitute preschool teachers’ aide, caring for children 6 weeks through 5 years old. 🔸I’ve spent 7 of the past 18 months in infant and toddler classrooms! 🔹Taught elementary children’s Sunday School at church for 29 years 🔸I worked on an inpatient pediatric hospital ward with children from newborn to age 12 🔹At 16 years old, taught a 2&3 year olds’ Sunday School class for a year and nannied a 6 month old baby girl for a summer 🔸Babysat for friends and neighbors from age 10 through my teens and into college ▪️My wife and I have been married for 41 years! Together we raised our 4 children, 3 girls and a boy, from infancy to adulthood, and then cared for our little grandchildren while their parents worked. Three girls and a boy, they are 10, 8, 6, and 19 months old today. SPECIAL NEEDS: I’m comfortable with medically fragile children and those with physical, developmental, or behavioral special needs. 🧩 Certifications or Special Skills: 🔺Currently certified in Adult, Child, and Infant CPR 🔺Currently certified in First Aid 🔺Completed 8 hr class in Child Safety 🔺Worked more than 6 years as a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN)

Hello, my name is Mayte, I am a college graduate and have an associates degree in Liberal Arts. I have over 15 years experience in caring for small children ages 4 months to 12 years old. I worked at the Boys and Girls Club for a little over a year and enjoyed being a group leader, I was in charge of a group of 20 kids and had to follow a daily curriculum. I currently work as a instructional assistant, and have experience with children from elementary to high school. I work with kids with special needs mod/severe. Additionally, I have volunteered at a preschool in which I supervised the children during play time, helped them get to sleep at nap time, assisted them at lunch, and anything else the teacher needed assistance with. Lastly, my earliest experience would be taking care of my three nephews and one niece all at once, I changed their diapers, fed them, and kept them entertained. I am a kid at heart and I would enjoy doing any activities your child may like, from watching cartoons to playing video games, board games, playing outside, arts and crafts, you name it. I have been hired by different families in the past where I have changed baby's diapers, bathed, fed, put them to bed, picked them up from school, entertained them, getten them ready for school, and everything in between. Since I work from 8am to 3pm I am available for after school care, date nights, and most weekends. (I am willing to undergo a background check) Thank you.

I volunteered in the nursery and kids center for my church for about two years until COVID happened. I love children, and I have two little sisters of my own, so I’ve always felt a responsibility for those younger than me. I’ve worked as a teachers aide, and I was also once a summer camp counselor for kids at my church. I’m a journalism and political science major and studying to get my public law certificate.

I’m loving, very attentive, creative, self motivated individual who genuinely enjoys caring for young children. I find it extremely rewarding to help children develop into kind responsible people. I have my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education. Have also taken various classes in baby sign language and music and movement classes through out San Diego. I have over 16 years of experience working with children from 3 months to 9 years of age.  I've been First-Aid and CPR certified through American Red Cross. I am also bilingual. I love working as a caretaker because I appreciate living-in-the-moment. For me, there is simply nothing better than knowing I am making a positive influence in the lives of the children in my care. Perhaps the best part of working with children is that I have gained even more than I have given to the children I have cared for. Over the years, children have taught me to see the beauty and joy in all the simple things.
