Delaney was so wonderful to work with! We visit California multiple times a year and we have now requested her to be our sitter every time we are visiting because she was so great with our 2 boys who are 6 and 3 years old. She is very reliable and responsible with our kids. Delaney also made our kids feel very comfortable. Thank you Delaney!!

Monica B., Child Care in La Jolla, CA 92037 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!

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

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.

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.

Shaylee has become a key support, friend, and ally to our young family. We are so fortunate to have connected with her through this platform. She has tons of experience and our boys gravitate to her grounded, calm, yet playful energy. It is obvious her love for children, you’d be lucky to work with Shaylee.

We asked Ariana for help to babysit our 19 month old daughter for two full days. She was timely on arrival and connected very well with our daughter from the start. She even managed to get our daughter to take an afternoon nap, which isn't always easy for us. We would be happy to have Ariana help us again in the future.

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..

Abbey M., Child Care in La Jolla, CA 92037 with 5 years of paid experience

My name is Abbey McCormick. I am 31 years old and I live in Encinitas. I am available to work anywhere in the San Diego area. I have over 5 years of babysitting/nannying experience and can provide references for the families I worked with most recently if needed. I am a self-proclaimed craft master and fun time expert! I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and I have a big family. Growing up, I was surrounded by young children (cousins, nieces, etc.) so rest assured your kiddo is in good hands! Childcare has always been a passion of mine. I am more than happy to help with all your needs, such as light housekeeping, pet care, laundry, carpool, crafts and more. I have my own SUV. I’m also CPR/First Aid certified. I also have pets & love animals—if you have them that’s great. Not to brag, but I have been called the 'most fun nanny' on more than one occasion, by both kids and adults! Energetic and friendly are how my friends describe me. I know the importance of playtime, but I also understand that there is a time and place for everything, even quiet time. I'll make sure your child sticks to their schedule and takes care of other things such as homework and bedtime routines. I am excited to meet your family!
