Tana H., Child Care in Santee, CA 92071 with 7 years of paid experience

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!

Monica B., Child Care in Santee, CA 92071 with 20 years of paid experience

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!

Sandra has been watching our baby regularly for a few months now, and we love her professionalism and transparency. She always confirms with us every time and communicates often if her schedule ever shifts or she is running behind. Sandra is up front with her expectations as a caregiver and will provide guidance as an experienced childcare professional. I would recommend her to any family looking for routines and structured care.

Suzane V., Child Care in Santee, CA 92071 with 11 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Suzane. I am 38 years old and live in San Carlos, close to La Mesa. I have over 16 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. I've worked for many families in San Diego, and some that I still keep in touch with and even babysit for from time to time. I can provide care for up to two children at the same time. I can help with all baby/child related duties, and I'm also happy to help with most light house chores. I am reliable, punctual and trustworthy. I am currently available and looking for a family to work for full-time (40 hours a week). I'm looking to start with another wonderful family as soon as possible. I am looking for a family who lives within 18 miles at most from my home, and one that I can work with for at least a year. Please send me a message if you are looking for a full-time nanny, and I will get back to you as quickly as I can. Thank you and looking forward to speaking with you!

Suzie started working with us as a full-time nanny in early 2017, taking care of our younger children, Diego (1yo) and Martina (2.5yo). We have known Suzie since summer 2015, when she became our go-to babysitter, taking care of the two of them as well as their older brother, Nico (4.5yo), oftentimes, whenever we needed a trustworthy carer to stay with the kids whenever we had to travel for work or simply having a date. The three of them absolutely love Suzie, always asking when she's going to babysit again! Regarding her day-to-day job, she started looking after Martina on an occasional basis when she was 9mo, and has got to know Diego from birth, so she has been key to their development. Since she started working for us full-time, se has helped with sleep training, potty training, and letting them know how to socialize and make new friends. Suzie is very friendly, tidy, responsible, caring, and reliable, always proactive to help us all with daily tasks and errands. She is very good at keeping us in the loop and will give us a detailed 'report' on how the day went and how everyone did every day. I'd recommend Suzie to anyone looking for a highly trustworthy and loving nanny. Please reach out to me if you need a more detailed review on her work with us or if you are looking for references.

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.

Thoughtful, detail-oriented, caring, reliable, collaborative and communicative. Khadija embodies everything we were looking for in not only a sitter, but someone who truly cared in providing us with help in our home. She was diligent in keeping up with our kids schedules, which is difficult for us to do on our own at times! She helped our 10 year old son track and manage a daily schedule to keep up with his homework, studying, reading, and activities at the speed that supported his growth into independently managing his daily to do's. She provided rides to our older daughter and keep up with the demands of her high school activities and sports practice. We highly recommend Khadija as a caretaker and someone who will take the time to get to know your household and support needs on a regular basis..
