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!

Hi there! My name is Antigone. I am a sophomore in college and am currently studying nutrition and health science. I grew up in a big family with many younger cousins, where I regularly help my aunts with meal prep and bedtime routines. I have a background working as a camp counselor, and I am CPR and First Aid certified. I love being around kids and enjoy games, reading stories, and helping with homework. I am a responsible student with a flexible schedule on weekends and am happy to help with light housework as needed. I look forward to meeting your family!

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 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!

We reached out Riley for a last minute request to babysit our 18 month old daughter. Riley arrived on time and immediately connected with our daughter. She played with our daughter throughout the day, helped feed her, and kept her entertained. We had a really great experience with Riley and we highly recommend her to other parents. We look forward to inviting her back in the future.

I have three years of both paid and volunteer child care experience, working with all ages. I have worked with kids as a nanny, in childcare facilities, in hospitals and medical settings, and as a science educator. I have experience working with large groups of children, as well as children with special needs. I have plenty of experience with infants and multiples. I also have two dogs and I am very comfortable with pets. While safety is always my first priority, I aim to provide a fun and enjoyable atmosphere for the kids.

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..
