My named is Rachel, I am a mother of 2 adult children and Oma to 1 grandson. I have worked with developmental disable/non-disable children/adults for over 25 years. *18 years as an F/T Asst. Supervisor/Direct Care/Behavioral Specialist. *8 years as a P/T Direct Support Professional for a private residence with 1 1/2 years of rehabilitation/speech for a 2 different young men injured in automobile accidents. *8 years as a P/T/and currently as a sub contractor Community Integration Specialist. In 2011 I retired to take care of my then soon to be grandson who was born with Hypohdrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia. He lived with me and I was his F/T care-provider for 6 1/2 years, also home schooled him pre-k though kindergarten. Last summer he moved away and I have found I have a lot of free time. So in October I started working again and was employed as a P/T nanny for a 4-year-old boy that I had care for occasionally since birth, but in December his grandmother was lucky enough to move closer and now takes care of him. I am a nurturer by nature. I love children, animals, mother nature and being able to maybe make a difference no matter how small.

Hi my name is Melanie I’ve been around little kids my whole life. I am the first child in my family which came with many responsibilities like caring and looking out for my baby cousins (girls/ boys), sisters and our family pets( cats/dogs/ hamsters)! Making sure there was always fun and safe activities ahead of us as well as a good snacks/meals. Now that a lot of my cousins and sisters are older I am very thankful to say that I was a big part of their childhood and was able to teach them so much. I have been a volunteer at my local church for 5 years over the weekends where I am a T.A and work with kids ages 5-11. I have also been an explorer with the Ventura County Sheriffs Department for 6 years now and we work with teenagers ages 13-21. We educate them in law enforcement as well as teaching them responsibility, team work, CPR/ first aid and most importantly how to have fun and make long lasting friends! I was a gymnast for 5 years and a volunteered coach for 2 years where I worked with toddlers over the weekends! This was something very heart warming to me because I was able to share and teach them and their parents a sport I am very passionate about! I have always had a love for kids that’s why one day I hope and pray to have kids of my own!

I have been a babysitter (more times than I can count), a nanny for several families in the Ventura area through the years, and I'm a mom to three of my own (17-26). So I have experience with every age of childhood. Since my children are grown I really miss the baby/toddler years and would love to be of help to you while yours are growing up. I'm interested in a part-time position.

Hi I’m Summer Healy! I’ve always loved kids, growing up my mother had a daycare in our home so I was always helping change diapers, teaching babies their first steps and sharing experiences with them at an early age. My mom is also a CPR instructor so I’m always updated on my certification! I became a personal babysitter for a lot of the kids that grew too old to be in the daycare, which is where most my one on one babysitting skills developed. I would pick them up from school, make sure they ate a healthy snack once their home and keep them limited from tv and try to keep them active outside. I’m a surfer, guitar/song writer, and I love all things arts & crafts! I’m very creative and know how to work with kids and getting them connected to their creative side! My favorite activities are surfing, skating, running, working out, playing guitar, writing, etc. I’m sure you get the point! I would be so thankful & happy to spend time with your kids or babies I’m good all around with any age. I absolutely love pets so that won’t be a problem, I drive a Toyota Tacoma, I was working as a joint nanny for two families, started when they were 3 months old till they were a year and a half! I have good references for you to call, I hope you find me to be the perfect fit!

I have three years of experience working with children as a paid babysitter. During this time, I have taken care of children of various ages, from 6 weeks to 15 years old. I’ve also worked at two different daycare/preschools as a teacher which is where I currently work. I also have three younger siblings that I took care of a lot growing up. That helped me a lot with babysitting because I already knew how to do meal preparations, bedtime routines, homework help and engage the children in fun activities. What sets me apart as a babysitter is my patience, reliability, and ability to connect with children. I enjoy playing games, reading stories, and creating a safe and nurturing environment for them. I’ve taken three college course of child development and am currently working on my degree in education to become a teacher. I have my CPR and First Aid certificates, to ensure that your child is in safe and good hands at all times.
