I am a nanny with five years of paid experience and have cared for infants, toddlers, young kids & pre-teens. The safety of the kid (s) is my first priority. I always try to keep them engaged in educational activities such as reading, singing, playing, and drawing to foster their educational as well as psychosocial development. I limit screen time with younger kids and encourage them to read/play instead. I believe in gentle parenting. I am very compassionate in nature and love the kids like my own kids. I can give you excellent references from current & previous families. What sets me apart from other sitters is my passion for the kids, and also I have a degree in child psychology :) I am CPR trained, covid vaccinated/boosted, non-smoker, have my own car, and an animal lover! If you think I am a good fit, I look forward to chatting with you. Thank you!

*** AS OF NOW, I AM ONLY AVAILABLE FOR DATE NIGHT SITTING OR OVERNIGHT STAY, NOT LONG TERM BABYSITTING DUE TO NEW CAREER. I APPRECIATE EVERYONE REACHING OUT*** Hello! My name is Malissa and welcome to my profile.I love kids and enjoy every aspect of being around them. I volunteered at the Boys and Girls Club of San Diego for over 6 months and enjoyed being able to see all the different personalities in these children. I supervised children ranging from ages 6 years old to 17 years old. I also have a niece and nephew that I was able to watch since they were born and they are now 8 and 10 years old. I have experience being a nanny for a 9 year old girl and 10 year old boy. My main priorities are picking and dropping off to and from school/activities, making sure homework is done, making sure kids are fed in a timely manner, and preparing dinner for the family. I also have experience with light housekeeping such as laundry, and making sure kids play room and kitchen area are clean. I love outdoor activities and will never turn down an offer to take kids to the park, beach, the zoo, and any other wonderful attractions San Diego has to offer. I have my degree in Biology, allied health and have taken CPR, first aid, and child development courses in college. My interests include music, cooking, camping, and being in the beautiful outdoors. I can cook some dishes you have never heard of. I am used to cooking with a wide variety of food choices that include meats and seafood, but if your'e vegetarian I know of some good vegetarian recipes as well. I enjoy healthy eating, healthy living, but also having fun and staying positive! I love to laugh and make kids laugh so hopefully I sound like someone that can be perfect for YOUR family. I have references from my nanny job, Boys and Girls Club, and my sister. Thank you for reading and take care!

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!

Hello Families! My name is Antonella, I am 28 years old, originally from Argentina. I came to the US 8 years ago to be an Au Pair and work with young children. I graduated last year with a BA in Psychology and now I work occasionally as a nanny and date nights sitter:) I have 10 years of experience with children of different ages (4 months old - 15 years old) and I enjoy spending time with all of them! Before starting college I was an Au Pair for two years and gained a lot of experience with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers/kindergarteners. I’ve worked as a live in nanny, live out full time and part time, and occasionally nanny for multiple families! I’m happy to teach kids Spanish and I’m comfortable with all their routines (daytime, nap time, evenings, night time, homework). I’m also comfortable driving with them and helping them with their homework! I took Child Development classes at SMC and I learned a lot about, as a caregiver, how to help children to develop their physical, cognitive, and emotional skills. - Fully vaccinated - Own transportation - Reliable references - Driver License - Non-smoker - Comfortable with pets

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!
