I have been active on Sittercity for some time and it has allowed me to connect with many wonderful families with different dynamics and needs! Childcare has always been a passion of mine and because of that I aspire to be an elementary school teacher in the future! I’m currently in collage working towards an AA Degree in Child Development, just one small step in my educational journey! I have a few years of babysitting experience under my belt and I have previously worked at an after school program, where I would look after —mainly— kindergarteners and first graders. I am First Aid + CPR certified and I also have a drivers license and reliable car for travel. I am enthusiastic, calm, and want to help create a safe and supportive environment for the kids that I work with, that is also in tandem with the family’s needs!

Hello there! I'm Crystal, and I'm originally from Atlanta, Georgia. I've had the absolute pleasure of dedicating my career to professional childcare. Over the years, I've worked as a corporate nanny for some incredibly busy executives, including CEOs and CFOs at companies like Microsoft and SP Richards in Atlanta. Beyond that, I proudly owned and operated my own Home Daycare LLC for a decade, which was such a rewarding experience. My Current Search & Availability I'm currently thrilled to be in San Diego and am looking to partner with the perfect family here. I'm ideally seeking a live-in position, and I'm available Monday through Thursday or Monday through Friday.

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

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.
