Hello Parents, Im Lisa, a 52 year old energetic responsible and mature woman with a background check. I'm drug, Alcohol & smoke free. I have a truck, car, car seat, clean driver's license and full insurance. I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old which gives me 34 years of experience. I also pet sit so if you are out of town I can watch your furry baby's too. Other experience; premie babies, 4 days old babies, LOTS of twins and a 3 year old triplets, children with autism, ADHD, Asperger, Down syndrome, asthma and special diets such as gluten-free & dairy free. -2019 I was caring for twin girls since they were 4 months old 2 days a week until they were a year old. - 7/2011 - 7/2017 I was watching Kai from 13 months old till 7. Kai has Autism, delayed walking & speech, many food allergies and some behavioral issues. I watched Kai for an occasional date night & then every Sunday. On Sunday's I picked him up at 8 am at his house in La Jolla. I then drove him to Poway for a soccer class followed by breakfast at a local restaurant. Afterwards we would go to a local park/library/zoo/sea world/movie during the middle of the day. At 3 I would drive him to his 3:30 therapy horseback riding where his parents pick him up at 4. Kai would also sleep over at my home 1 night every couple of months so his parents can have a night away. Kai is gluten free & dairy free so I can follow a stick food program. I also house sit & dog sat when they went out of town. Sadly after watching Kai for 6 years he has moved out of state on July 2016 to be closer to his grandparents. 2- 2009-2018 Samantha age 12 and Stephanie is 9 years old. I had been watching the girls since they were 3 years old and 4 months old. I saw this family about once every other month. 3- 2015 - 2018; I had been watching Sam since he was 4 months old and he is now 3 years old . I saw this family every other month. This is a VERY small part of my babysitting history. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me. Thank you very much for considering me, Lisa

*** 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 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!

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!
