Hello! My name is Zoe Laks Sherman and I just graduated with my masters in social work and relocated to northern California. I have been working with children for 15 years in a multitude of different settings. I have worked as a babysitter, a live in nanny, a part time nanny, a camp counselor, an ABA therapist, a swim teacher, and assistant preschool teacher. I am inclusive of all people including LGBTQ+ community and individual who are neurodivergent. I love working with children of all ages and abilities and feel passionately about supporting and fostering their development and growth. Working with children is my passion and my continued education is to support the work that I do with children to help keep them safe! I have extensive references that you can contact if you are interested! I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! :)

Zoe arrived promptly and was immediately sweet with our kiddo. She engaged with our kid throughout the morning and gave us a sense of peace of mind. She sent us pictures of our kid while we were away which was appreciated. We look forward to having her babysit again.

Hi there! My name is Antigone. I am a sophomore in college and am currently studying nutrition and health science. I grew up in a big family with many younger cousins, where I regularly help my aunts with meal prep and bedtime routines. I have a background working as a camp counselor, and I am CPR and First Aid certified. I love being around kids and enjoy games, reading stories, and helping with homework. I am a responsible student with a flexible schedule on weekends and am happy to help with light housework as needed. I look forward to meeting your family!

Antigone was the best. She's extremely responsive, I even did a reference check and she had glowing reviews. My kids absolutely LOVED her, and I am so thankful that we found a sitter who my kids are comfortable with. She even got them to bed ON TIME, which is such a rarity. Thanks again Antigone!

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

I am currently a student studying to become a speech pathologist, with the intention of working in schools one day! I love working with kids, during the school year I work at a daycare with ages ranging from infants - 6 years old. This semester I also started working with Right At School in Berrien Springs Public Schools, with grades kindergarten-5th. I am also a big animal person and would enjoy watching over your pets as well, as I frequently cat and dog sit and have a couple cats myself. I would love to get to know you and your family:)

Sabrina was the best sitter for the kids. She was very responsive and attentive throughout this whole process. The kids were happy and fed and said that they had so much fun. Sabrina is very sweet I’m happy to have her babysit anytime I’m in California.

Sandra was the first sitter we ever used for my 3 month old son during the time I was in night classes. She eased my stress of being away from my son with her friendly disposition, experience level, and attentive care for him. We also had a non-traditional situation with the childcare being on campus and she was very accommodating and willing to make our situation successful. I had full trust that my son was safe with Sandra and she routinely went on walks with him, played with him, and bottle fed him. I would highly recommend her to a friend and hope to continue to have her look after my son in the future when opportunities arise.

We’ve had Keri care for our 5-year-old over a few times and she has been wonderful. She is always punctual, and dependable. What stands out most is how patient and attentive she is. My daughter can be shy at first, but she warmed up to her quickly, and now looks forward to their time together. I’ve also appreciated how she communicates with me—she gives updates and always lets me know how things went. I feel completely comfortable leaving my child in her care and trust her judgment. I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a kind, responsible, and trustworthy babysitter.

Hey! My name is Malia Foucault, and I absolutely love caring for children. For as long as I can remember, I have loved kids. I was a caregiver for two boys, ages 10 and 8, for about two years. I was trusted with picking the children up from school, leading them with homework, and assisting them with rides to and from sports, restaurants, and friends' houses. I will be a junior at San Diego State University next fall. I am majoring in liberal studies with an emphasis in elementary education. I have three years of paid experience with infants, elementary-level children, and middle school-age children. I am CPR and first aid certified and ready to create a fun, positive, safe environment for your kids!

I am a college student pursuing a degree in Astrophysics, with a focus on math. Through my experience as an after-school program instructor, I have developed a passion for teaching and working with children. I enjoy creating fun activities, playing games, and helping with homework. Outside of working with children, I am a research assistant at SDSU, where I have developed strong reliability, communication, and organization skills. While I love having fun, safety is always my top priority when it comes to providing a positive and comfortable environment for children.
