Hi! My name is Tana Hoppe, and I am a responsible, energetic, and experienced 23-year-old nanny looking for a summer nanny position in San Diego from June 5th – August 12th. I have been nannying and babysitting for most of my life and have extensive experience caring for children ranging from 4 months old through 12 years old. I genuinely love working with children and strive to create a safe, fun, nurturing, and engaging environment where kids feel supported, cared for, and encouraged to learn and have fun. I am CPR certified, have a completely clean driving record, and am very comfortable transporting children to activities, camps, sports, appointments, playdates, or wherever they may need to go. I am also pet friendly, love spending time outdoors, and enjoy keeping kids active through outdoor activities, swimming, beach days, parks, crafts, games, and fun summer adventures. In addition to childcare, I truly enjoy helping families keep their homes running smoothly. I am happy to assist with children’s laundry, tidying and organizing, meal and snack prep, making lunches, light housekeeping related to the children, and cleaning up throughout the day. I naturally enjoy keeping spaces clean and organized and love being an extra helping hand for busy families. Professionally, I work in sales, which has strengthened my communication, organization, reliability, and problem-solving skills. I will be in California for the summer while my husband completes his finance internship and would love the opportunity to support a wonderful family during that time. I served a full time ads mission and work every Sunday as a teacher for kids 8 - 10. I love kids all ages. I am available Monday–Friday, can start as early as needed, and am available until approximately 6:00 PM each day. I am happy to be flexible when needed to best support your family’s schedule. I also have multiple strong references available upon request and would love the opportunity to connect to see if I would be a great fit for your family!

Tana is wonderful. She watched my son on a weekly basis for several months. She’s kind, warm, friendly, and my son always loved when she was there. Highly recommend her.

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!

Kelly was our nanny for 7 months and took excellent care of our toddler! She is incredibly kind, caring, responsible and was a wonderful addition to our family. She was also amazing with our two-year-old golden retriever dog! Highly recommend and happy to be a reference in the future!

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.

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!

Hello! My name is Collete, and I’m a San Diego native who truly loves this community. I have over 15 years of experience working with children, beginning in the nonprofit world where I taught and cared for students ranging from preschool age through the university level. Throughout my career, I have regularly completed required background checks and clearances as part of my professional roles working with children and families. I hold a Master of Science in Nonprofit Management and Leadership, but most importantly, I am also a mom to two wonderful children (and two fur pups!). Being a parent has deepened my understanding of how important it is to feel confident, comfortable, and at ease when entrusting someone with your little ones. I bring a calm, nurturing, and dependable approach to childcare and take great pride in caring for children as if they were my own. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide attentive, loving care for your child or children. I look forward to connecting with you!

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.
