Hello Parents, Im Lisa, a 52 year old energetic responsible and mature woman with a background check. I'm drug, Alcohol & smoke free. I have a truck, car, car seat, clean driver's license and full insurance. I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old which gives me 34 years of experience. I also pet sit so if you are out of town I can watch your furry baby's too. Other experience; premie babies, 4 days old babies, LOTS of twins and a 3 year old triplets, children with autism, ADHD, Asperger, Down syndrome, asthma and special diets such as gluten-free & dairy free. -2019 I was caring for twin girls since they were 4 months old 2 days a week until they were a year old. - 7/2011 - 7/2017 I was watching Kai from 13 months old till 7. Kai has Autism, delayed walking & speech, many food allergies and some behavioral issues. I watched Kai for an occasional date night & then every Sunday. On Sunday's I picked him up at 8 am at his house in La Jolla. I then drove him to Poway for a soccer class followed by breakfast at a local restaurant. Afterwards we would go to a local park/library/zoo/sea world/movie during the middle of the day. At 3 I would drive him to his 3:30 therapy horseback riding where his parents pick him up at 4. Kai would also sleep over at my home 1 night every couple of months so his parents can have a night away. Kai is gluten free & dairy free so I can follow a stick food program. I also house sit & dog sat when they went out of town. Sadly after watching Kai for 6 years he has moved out of state on July 2016 to be closer to his grandparents. 2- 2009-2018 Samantha age 12 and Stephanie is 9 years old. I had been watching the girls since they were 3 years old and 4 months old. I saw this family about once every other month. 3- 2015 - 2018; I had been watching Sam since he was 4 months old and he is now 3 years old . I saw this family every other month. This is a VERY small part of my babysitting history. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me. Thank you very much for considering me, Lisa

I highly recommend Lisa as a babysitter - she sat for our one year old son and did an amazing job. Lisa chatted with me on the phone prior to the job, and talked me through her extensive experience. This was our first time leaving or son with a sitter, and Lisa made us feel extremely comfortable. She arrived early, spent time understanding his bedtime routine, and made it clear we could check in as much as we wanted. When we left she provided proactive updates, and we also decided to stay out later than we had originally intended, which Lisa was happy to accommodate. Overall, we highly recommend Lisa!

I am now available most days, nights or overnights! Either full (5 days/nights) or part time (1,2, or 3 days/nights) per week. I am used to working long hours, as most of my jobs have been for families within the medical community. In the meantime, I am also available for evening, your date nights, or overnights should you need a weekend away. Whatever your schedule is, please ask me, I may be able to help you, or work something out on a temporary basis. I graduated from C.E.R.T. (community emergency response team) Academy, taught by San Diego Fire-Rescue Dept. I am happy to be of service to my community in case of a disaster or terrorist attack. I have all three CPR certificates for infant, child, and adult. My first aid training exceeds that of the general public. I love babies/kids of all ages and they love me! I appreciate the hard work and sacrifice of our military families and I give military family discounts! If your child has any special needs, such as medical or behavioral, I may charge a little more. You may contact me by text message or calling. Please leave a message with your name, number, area you live in, and the times and date you are looking for a sitter and I will be happy to return your call as soon as I am able. Thank you!

Antigone helped with our 3 school age kids at the hotel resort 2 days in a row. The kids really enjoyed her and were glad to have her back. She entertained them in ways we hadn’t even considered. Traffic in this area along with road work is an issue but we had given ourselves a cushion for time and parking. She followed directions well. Would definitely hire again.

I had to take some time to write a review for Kat!! She is amazing! I’m a busy single father, and when I’m in need of a sitter I call Kat. My kids love her. She is always on time, and so sweet to my kids. I highly highly recommend her.

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.

I have been working with kids since I was 12, first training as a mother's helper, then becoming the neighborhood babysitter, then nannying. As a nanny I worked for homeschool families as their teacher, a caretaker for a special needs child, overnight for a nurse, and the longest nannying gig I had was 7 years. I'm still in contact with all the families I've worked for. I've also worked as a teacher for preschool to 1st grade kids at 2 schools, and have worked after school care for all elementary ages at another school. I also have 17 years of experience teaching early levels of piano and 3 years tutoring at Kumon. I even work with kids at a local dance studio, where I take care of the front desk and manage getting kids checked in for their classes. My current full-time job is teaching Tk-1st grade at a small private Acton/Montessori school. When I'm not working, I enjoy reading, writing, cross stitching, being with my wonderful family, and hanging out with my cat.

My name is Abbey McCormick. I am 31 years old and I live in Encinitas. I am available to work anywhere in the San Diego area. I have over 5 years of babysitting/nannying experience and can provide references for the families I worked with most recently if needed. I am a self-proclaimed craft master and fun time expert! I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and I have a big family. Growing up, I was surrounded by young children (cousins, nieces, etc.) so rest assured your kiddo is in good hands! Childcare has always been a passion of mine. I am more than happy to help with all your needs, such as light housekeeping, pet care, laundry, carpool, crafts and more. I have my own SUV. I’m also CPR/First Aid certified. I also have pets & love animals—if you have them that’s great. Not to brag, but I have been called the 'most fun nanny' on more than one occasion, by both kids and adults! Energetic and friendly are how my friends describe me. I know the importance of playtime, but I also understand that there is a time and place for everything, even quiet time. I'll make sure your child sticks to their schedule and takes care of other things such as homework and bedtime routines. I am excited to meet your family!
