I was in town to participate in a cancer research conference at the SD convention center, and Cristal watched my 4 year old for the afternoon while I participated in sessions. She was fantastic with my son, who had never been with a sitter before. He was in tears when I left, but a few minutes later, Cristal started sending me photos of a smiling kid doing various activities near the SD convention center. Cristal was on time, quick to respond, very clear and easy to work with. She even offered to meet up the evening before to introduce herself to my son. I really appreciated this. When I met Cristal, she had a conference badge: she is an experienced child wrangler who has been vetted by the group running childcare for the convention center and had worked the conference childcare the day before. Overall, I cannot overstate how great Cristal was!!

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!

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!

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

Hello, my name is Bianca . I am responding with enthusiasm to your job posting for nanny or babysitter. My childcare career started in London, I cared for triplets while both parents were working full-time. The children were dropped off at my home at 7:00am and picked up at 5:00 after a full day of feeding, napping, playing, reading and trips to the local park. One of my most memorable childcare experiences was as a volunteer as a room mom at my daughters school, Grant School in Mission Hills, California. I would help the teachers each year in their classroom with whatever they would need. This included support in the classroom, arranging and supervising field trips and extracurricular activities. At this time I was also working for a family in Del Cerro as a house manager and nanny of their twin girls. I am convinced that my verifiable experience and abilities make me an excellent candidate for this position. My references show me to be responsible and reliable, caring and always willing to help out wherever needed. With this in mind, I have attached my resume for your review. -Over 15 years experience in supervising and caring for children aged between 2 and 15 year -Speaking Italian, Spanish, French and English with your child or children -Successfully scheduling and managing multiple activities -Prepare healthy meals and snacks for the children -Assist with homework and projects -Organizing and facilitating creative educational activities and games -Supervising bathing, dressing and potty training of children -Safety conscious with current First Aid and CPR certifications -Enthusiastically run errands, complete chores and perform light housekeeping -Valid driver's license and clean driving record Italian born,and raised, proudly American citizen, live in San Diego.

Bianca was amazing with my toddler and my 6 year old. They absolutely loved her and enjoyed every moment with her. I was working in the other room and i could hear them laughing and having fun so much. We felt like we know her forever and it was a great match for our family. We will definitely reach out to her again whenever we need help with kids. Thank you Bianca!

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.

Shyann has been a great helper for our household while I’ve needed a second set of hands. She effortlessly blends between playing with the kids and helping with small tasks, respecting the family rules we have in place and minimizing screen time. My kids are very comfortable with her and she’s great at communicating for easy scheduling.
Kimberly R.
- 18 years paid experience
- 13 miles
My name is Kimberly, and caring for children has been the heart of my life for over 30 years. As a mother of four wonderful adult children and a proud grandmother to a spirited 4-year-old, I bring both the wisdom of experience and the warmth of a naturally nurturing personality. I am a highly responsible, dependable, and adaptable nanny with an exceptional record of family satisfaction. Thanks to raising my own children and working with families of all ages and needs, I am confident handling everything from newborn care to busy after-school schedules. I’m calm and creative under pressure, and I respond quickly and thoughtfully to any unusual or challenging situation. I have extensive hands-on childcare experience, including caring for up to six children at once and supporting families with infant twins, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’m mature, patient, fun, and fully present. Children tend to bond with me quickly because I’m warm, engaging, and love getting involved at their level—whether we’re building forts, reading stories, doing sensory play, or supporting growth milestones. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, an excellent cook, and highly organized. My multitasking ability is strong, but my attention to each child as an individual is even stronger. I believe in creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where children feel secure, supported, and free to explore, learn, and be themselves. Families describe me as deeply caring, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. I take pride in being reliable, consistent, and committed to long-term relationships. My schedule is extremely flexible, including days, evenings, and weekends. Above all, I bring heart into what I do. I genuinely love children, and I invest myself fully in the families I work with. I would be honored to find a family where the fit is mutual and where I can truly become a valued, trusted part of your home.

Kimberly worked with our family for many years. She is amazing! If we didn't move she would still be our nanny. She did so many cute crafts and always had adventures planned out. Very trustworthy, responsible and overall she has the best personality if you're looking for a nanny. She has not only helped with the kids but helped me with things around the home, cooking and more. Highly recommend Miss Kimmy!
