Hello Parents, Yissell was a amazing with my son! She was a regular nanny/babysitter 3 days for my 15-18 month old. I had gone through a couple other people and was immediately impressed by how natural yissell was with my son on day 1. She stepped in like it was second nature. She not only fostered a relationship with my son where he jumped up everything she arrived ready to go play but she created an environment where my son could grow. I work a lot and yissell ensured my son socialized, went out, learned new things and sent pictures back home. She was less like a nanny and more like my sons advocate. I say this as she would tell me what new toy at the park he really liked or let me know she'd text me if she saw something somewhere she thought he'd enjoy. She also helped us prepare for daycare and ready my son for new experiences. I cannot speak highly enough about yissell. If I could of I would prefer her caring for him full time while I was working. I'll also note that she provided so much assistance to my family in staying late some days, filling cars up with gas, walking the dog during naps, basically filling all the gaps that she can. She is so much more than just a sitter. As a first time mom having her help my son with speaking, sign language, and helping cleanup was more than I could have dreamed of. I watched him grow so much under her care. He started communicating more, signing consistently, sharing and engaging with kids.

I’m loving, very attentive, creative, self motivated individual who genuinely enjoys caring for young children. I find it extremely rewarding to help children develop into kind responsible people. I have my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education. Have also taken various classes in baby sign language and music and movement classes through out San Diego. I have over 16 years of experience working with children from 3 months to 9 years of age. I've been First-Aid and CPR certified through American Red Cross. I am also bilingual. I love working as a caretaker because I appreciate living-in-the-moment. For me, there is simply nothing better than knowing I am making a positive influence in the lives of the children in my care. Perhaps the best part of working with children is that I have gained even more than I have given to the children I have cared for. Over the years, children have taught me to see the beauty and joy in all the simple things.

Veronica is truly one of a kind. The moment she walked into my home, my 8-month-old son was swept right into her arms with the biggest smile on his face. It felt like they had known each other for years, even though it was just moments after they met. Veronica has a natural gift for communicating with children, understanding their needs, and meeting them exactly where they are. She infuses so many concepts into their day, allowing them to grow and flourish under her care. My son was always in awe of her. We are so grateful!!! One of the things I loved most was how she brought books into our home, not just for my son but also for my 2.5 yo daughter. She engaged her with such enthusiasm, and it was truly heartwarming to watch her incorporate educational pieces right in our presence. In the very short time she was with us, she made a huge difference. One moment I’ll never forget was when she was walking away and my son started crying for her. It made my heart smile because it showed how deeply he connected with her. Veronica is professional, knowledgeable, patient, and truly willing to give her best. If you ever need someone to care for your child, Veronica is the person you want by your side!!!

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!

Laura was amazing with our 2.5 year old! She really understands children. We needed a sitter while visiting the area from out-of-town, and it's usually pretty nerve-racking leaving our little one with a new sitter for the first time, but she completely set him and us at ease. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, empathetic and capable caregiver.

Hello, my name is Mayte, I am a college graduate and have an associates degree in Liberal Arts. I have over 15 years experience in caring for small children ages 4 months to 12 years old. I worked at the Boys and Girls Club for a little over a year and enjoyed being a group leader, I was in charge of a group of 20 kids and had to follow a daily curriculum. I currently work as a instructional assistant, and have experience with children from elementary to high school. I work with kids with special needs mod/severe. Additionally, I have volunteered at a preschool in which I supervised the children during play time, helped them get to sleep at nap time, assisted them at lunch, and anything else the teacher needed assistance with. Lastly, my earliest experience would be taking care of my three nephews and one niece all at once, I changed their diapers, fed them, and kept them entertained. I am a kid at heart and I would enjoy doing any activities your child may like, from watching cartoons to playing video games, board games, playing outside, arts and crafts, you name it. I have been hired by different families in the past where I have changed baby's diapers, bathed, fed, put them to bed, picked them up from school, entertained them, getting them ready for school, and everything in between. Since I work from 8am to 3pm I am available for after school care, date nights, school holiday breaks, and most weekends. (I am willing to undergo a background check) Thank you.

Taking care of children is a fun and fulfilling experience for me. I am CPR and first aid certified. During high school, I worked and volunteered at a family child care facility, where I helped coordinate and facilitate activities with the children as well as help with some of the housekeeping. Then, in college, I was a reading tutor at an after-school program, where I helped grade school students complete their homework and improve their reading skills. While in college, I studied abroad in France, where I worked as a babysitter for a French family. I was responsible for picking up the child from school and teaching him English. I cared for multiple Bay Area families before moving to San Diego. In San Diego, I have cared for numerous families and do after-school pickup, occasional babysitting, and date night sitting. I am bilingual in Spanish and know a few French words. I am passionate about caring for children as I am one of seven children and have five nieces and one nephew.

Hey there! My name is Selena and I am a full time college student studying to obtain my bachelor’s degree in child development. I currently work as a student teacher (TA) at an elementary to gain experience for my future career as a school age teacher. I’ve been working with children for 3 years now! I can honestly say it’s amazing! Gaining their trust is one of my priorities. With the school’s trust, I get to help plan out a schedule and curriculum for them. From helping with homework to doing an educational activity (of course I have to add in arts and crafts for fun right after!)

Selena was great with our little ones. She was very attentive and sent us updates during the night. Our 10 month and 3 year old girls were in very safe and capable hands with Selena. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to care for our girls. Thanks Selena!
