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.

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:)

Maria antonella H., Child Care in National City, CA 91950 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello Families! My name is Antonella, I am 29 years old, originally from Argentina. I came to the US 8 years ago to be an Au Pair and work with young children. I graduated last year with a BA in Psychology and now I work occasionally as a nanny and date nights sitter:) I have 10 years of experience with children of different ages (4 months old - 15 years old) and I enjoy spending time with all of them! Before starting college I was an Au Pair for two years and gained a lot of experience with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers/kindergarteners. I’ve worked as a live in nanny, live out full time and part time, and occasionally nanny for multiple families! I’m happy to teach kids Spanish and I’m comfortable with all their routines (daytime, nap time, evenings, night time, homework). I’m also comfortable driving with them and helping them with their homework! I took Child Development classes at SMC and I learned a lot about, as a caregiver, how to help children to develop their physical, cognitive, and emotional skills. - Fully vaccinated - Own transportation - Reliable references - Driver License - Non-smoker - Comfortable with pets

Hi everyone! I’m Victoria, I’ve been working with kids for 9 years now & I absolutely love it. I love the innocence through which they see the world, and seeing them become their own little person. I was a full time nanny to twins for the last 4 years from age 1-5. I do have experience with both infants and toddlers and am extremely flexible. I have completely open availability for whenever you may need me, I can stay later, come in earlier, even on a shorts moments notice. I understand every child is different and have learned to adapt to meet different children's varying needs. I’d love to meet you, and see if Im a good fit for your family, please feel free to reach out to me! 😊

I had trouble finding care for my son for school break and Sabrina responded quickly to my message. When she did come to visit she was punctual, kind, respectful, and my son adored her. He said he had lots of fun with her. They played board games, put a puzzle together, watched movies and she helped fix his lunch. He’s already asking me when she can come again!

Terri O., Child Care in National City, CA 91950 with 30 years of paid experience

I was a licensed day care provider for over 20 years.  I am Covid vaccinated!   Now that my own 3  children are grown  I enjoy doing childcare/babysitting in other's homes.  I studied child development in college.  Children and families are my passion and I really enjoy this line of work.  My hobbies include tennis, hiking, running half marathons and boating.  I have lots of experience and regularly care for infants. I can guarantee you that your children will be loved and receive  excellent care when I am with them.  I enjoy interacting with the children I watch.  I like to read to them, play games, sing songs ect.  I believe it is very important for parents to be able to enjoy their time away from their children knowing that their children are safe, having fun and well cared for.  I am fun, flexible and ready to help!

Amina R.

Amina R., Child Care in National City, CA 91950 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Amina, and I’m a warm, dependable, patient, and experienced childcare professional with a unique background in childcare, behavioral support, children’s yoga, wellness, and education. I have spent many years working with children of different ages and abilities, including six years as a behavioral/ABA tutor working with children on the autism spectrum. This experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, communication, compassion, and meeting each child exactly where they are. I understand that every child has their own personality, needs, interests, and way of learning, and I believe the best caregivers create an environment where children feel safe, respected, encouraged, and understood. My experience with children includes working as a behavioral tutor with children on the autism spectrum, providing individualized support in home, school, and therapeutic settings. I worked with children of various ages and supported them with behavioral goals, communication, social skills, routines, and age-appropriate activities. I have also worked extensively with children through children’s yoga and movement programs. I have taught preschool-aged children, school-aged children, summer camps, and after-school programs. My experience includes teaching children’s yoga in educational and wellness environments. Teaching yoga to children has given me a wonderful understanding of how movement, imagination, breathing, and play can help children develop confidence, body awareness, focus, and emotional regulation. I have also worked as a private nanny, giving me hands-on experience caring for young children and managing the many responsibilities that come with providing attentive, one-on-one care. My approach to childcare is nurturing, engaged, and respectful. I believe children thrive when they know what to expect and feel that the adults around them genuinely enjoy being with them. I like to create a balance between structured routines and fun, creative activities. Depending on the child's age and interests, that might include arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, games, imaginative play, music, movement, yoga, nature walks, or simply spending quality time together. I am also comfortable supporting homework, maintaining routines, preparing simple meals and snacks, helping with bedtime, and keeping children engaged and safe throughout the day.

Amina was very reliable, it was easy to communicate with her. She took care of my 9yo son for approximately 10 hrs. and he was very comfortable with her. She was proactive in sending texts and communications that helped me.
