Caring for children of various ages, personalities, intelligence levels, and health conditions has become a lifestyle for me over the years. Helping young people on a close up and personal basis has provided them with the care they need while providing me with a sense of purpose and intrinsic enjoyment. Helping to raise three children over a 16 year period yielded me many experiences and has equipped me with various skills to include: diapering, bathing, grooming, bottle feeding, cooking, serving meals, light housecleaning, laundry, shopping, lunch packing, scheduling the children's appointments and activities, assisting with homework, driving children to and from school, after school activities, to their doctor and dental appointments, sports activities, and social functions, etc. More detailed experience includes full infant care, potty training, nap and bedtime routines, dispensing medications as instructed by the parents, teaching bike riding, swimming, phonetic reading, playtime at the park and beach, singing songs together, picnics, play dates, instructing children in crafts (such as Easter egg dying), teaching budgeting for children with their allowances, how to write thank you letters, teaching pet care, and how to wrap gifts. Have homeschooled students through grades 1-12 with hands-on teaching as well as establishing a home school with the state of California and overseeing an independent high school study program. Experience prepping middle school and high school students for theater auditions, procuring musical instruments/lessons, and finding instructors for children to expand their skills in such things as surfing, voice training, Cotillion, table manners, dog training, drivers' education, etc. Have planned birthday parties and sleepovers. Attended parent/teacher conferences, volunteered as a teacher's aid, and have assisted with school projects. CPR/first aid certified for 30+ years. Have volunteered as an acting instructor, intern director, makeup artist, and costume procurer, and Crew Manager for children's theater. I especially love reading to children, art projects, and helping them learn to cook and bake the foods they love to eat! Relationship building is key. There is a balance between fun, instruction, and discipline. Sharing life’s experiences, feelings, and ideas builds friendships, as well as mutual trust and respect. And of course, an occasional great big belly laugh does everybody a world of good!

Thankful for Alejandra, she ended up being our datenight babysitter when I wasnt even looking (I just needed a sitter for a wedding that my husband and I were attending to) which says a lot about her. I never have to worry about her being late or call out last minute. My little boy always asks for her which I can understand why, she always plans a fun afternoon full of activities! 10/10 recommend.

Hello, my name is Alexis! I’m a 28 year old Entrepreneur with a passion for kiddos! I have amazing recommendations from families in California where I’ve been living the last 7 years! I’m more than happy to give you there contacts and let you talk! In 2018-2020 I use to sell veterinary equipment full time for a family owned and operated company in Murrieta, California but the economic downturn forced the company to to downsize only to there family. I now work from home running a soy candle company and other online businesses I also have. I’ve been a full time nanny for a family in Murrieta, Ca since November 2021. Looking for both short and long term babysitting arrangements. I’m the oldest of five kids who I spent a lot of time taking care of even performing normal motherly duties. My parents would often leave me in charge of my four younger siblings and instilled a lot of responsibility in me from an early age. I also babysat for tons of families within my church. Along with being very responsible I have been told I am very mature for my age. I have experience babysitting babies as young as 3 months old. I was the valedictorian of my high school and could definitely help your child/children with school work and help keep their brains stay engaged and motivated! I also just completed my Associates degree in early childhood development. I’m great with kids of all ages! My family would best describe me as nurturing and compassionate! Some interests of my own are swimming, reading and cooking! I love making great meals everyday and could cook your kids a good meal as well. My number is 725-318-0136 you can text or call me anytime! Please feel free to reach out whenever and we can set a time/place to meet, or FaceTime call! I love to teach kids as well and I’m available as soon as today and the days going forward! 7 two 5 - three one 8 - zero one 3 six

Hi! My name is Rebeca and I love kids! It's always something new with them and I enjoy seeing their little personalities come out. One of my favorite things I have experienced with working with kids is seeing how every little one is always different in some way or another. I enjoy cooking/baking, reading, and enjoying the outdoors, especially the beach! I am responsible, reliable, communicative, caring, and extremely family-oriented. Although I am young, I have a long history of child care, such as paid child care, camp counseling, children's ministry, and a couple more experiences as well. I am dedicated to giving 100 percent to the things I am committed to, and I love doing everything knowing I am giving it my all! Thank you for your time!

We LOVE Beca, and are so grateful for her help. Beca is incredibly responsible, always on time, and communicative. She is so sweet with our kiddos (6 year old girl and 3 year old boy), and they adore her. She carefully observes them and adjusts as needed. Beca is also a huge help around the house and has never complained about filling her down time by helping with various chores. She even proactively finds ways to be helpful. Her support makes our world of chaotic joy work! Thank you, Beca!

I am a fun loving person who loves kids of all ages. I have 15+ years of experience working with kids from infant - kindergarten and can work with school aged children too. I have worked at two different churches watching infants and toddlers, I currently take care of a toddler part time and have been watching her since she was 7 months. I am cpr/first aid trained. I enjoy teaching infants and toddlers and help them grow and learn. I am a grandmother type with no children or grandchildren of my own and would love to be able to offer that support for a family needing help. Kids are my passion and I find it very rewarding. Children have a special place in my heart. I am kind and patient, At my church, I am sometimes called a baby whisperer as I am most likely to get an infant or toddler to calm down and sleep. I also love animals as I worked with animals for over 25 years.

Linda was such a great sitter for my 1 year old son! She came in calmly and he quickly felt comfortable with her, and she followed his routine / cues well so he was able to nap, eat, and play happily. I worked from home while she cared for him.

Hello! My name is Rhiannon and I love working with kids! I come from a big family and grew up with a lot of younger cousins (25 to be exact). I currently attend Baylor University studying biology. During the school year, I babysit at a play gym for ages 2-8 and I love it! The kids are so energetic and full of joy and being around them always brightens my day. I am looking to be a part-time babysitter while I am home for the summer. I typically have time in the evenings as I do have a separate job in the daytime. I am CPR, first-aid certified, and also a certified EMT. I look forward to meeting your family and providing a safe, fun, and caring environment for your children!

Jina came through for us last minute during the holidays when I was at my wits end (husband fell Ill, no family around to help me w/ a newborn) and she didn’t even know us. She grew up in a daycare /nanny environment and even worked at a busy gym’s childcare area, and her resilience and effort she puts into her work shows. She is young, but yet a seasoned childcare provider. Jina listens to instructions and is clear with boundaries in the home and the ask of the job.

Hi i’m Hunter and i’m 19 years old from Vista California! I’ve been babysitting since I was about 14 years old on and off. From the age of 14-16 I’ve helped families by watching their kids for date nights or throughout their working shifts as well as taking care of their animals. The age group i’ve watched has been from 3-11 years old. I haven’t sat in awhile due to years of hours a week of competitive all star cheerleading training, school and work on top of all of that so balancing it all was rough but made it through. I am currently enrolled in Palomar college taking classes as well as working as a server at Islands in Vista. I absolutely love early morning hikes, working out, playing with my dogs , yoga and beach walks. I am a very active person, I love to be outdoors and I love to get my body moving at all times!
