Hello Parents, My name is Alejandra, and I am dedicated to providing high-quality care and support for children.

I deeply enjoy my work and take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can thrive. I incorporate elements of the Reggio Emilia approach, fostering curiosity, creativity, and independence in every child. My vaccinations are fully up to date, and I approach my role with professionalism, compassion, and a genuine love for helping children grow and learn.

Hi! My name is Abby! I’m an elementary teacher in the Poway Unified School District with a passion for child development. I graduated from California State University San Marcos in 2024 with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, with a focus on Child Development. I’ve been nannying and babysitting for over five years and have built lasting relationships with many of the families I’ve worked with. I have experience caring for children from 6 months to 14 years old, including twins, neurodivergent children, and overnight care. I’m fully vaccinated and boosted, a non-smoker, and CPR certified for adults, infants, and children (documentation available upon request). I have my own reliable transportation, a clean background check, and a driving record completed through Checkr (the screening service used by Sittercity). I’m also very comfortable with pets of all shapes and sizes and am happy to help with pet care while you’re away. In addition to babysitting and nannying, I offer tutoring and am often available on short notice, including for evening and overnight care. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me! I look forward to connecting with your family and seeing how I can help.

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!

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!

I have been active on Sittercity for some time and it has allowed me to connect with many wonderful families with different dynamics and needs! I work full time as an Infant Teacher’s Aid and I have 2 years of child care experience. I would love to help families that need childcare during the evening or over the weekend. I am First Aid + CPR certified and I also have a drivers license and reliable car for travel. I am enthusiastic, calm, and want to help create a safe and supportive environment for the kids that I work with, that is also in tandem with the family’s needs!

Why do you love being a sitter? I genuinely enjoy being around kids and creating a fun, safe environment for them to grow and explore. I grew up helping take care of my two younger siblings and spent a lot of time with my younger cousins, so being around children has always felt natural to me. I love building connections with kids, whether we’re doing crafts, playing games, or just having snack time. What experience do you have? I am currently nannying for two preschool aged children. Along with caring for my siblings and cousins, I also volunteered at Arcadia Recreation’s summer camp for a full summer. There, I helped lead games, arts and crafts, and supervised snack breaks, which gave me hands-on experience in keeping kids engaged and entertained in a group setting. What skills and training do you have? I am CPR and First Aid certified through a two-year Sports Medicine program, where I learned how to handle basic medical situations and keep children safe in emergencies. I'm also very organized and responsible—I always make sure things are clean, tidy, and running smoothly. I'm happy to help with light housekeeping and keeping play areas neat, which I know can make a big difference for busy families

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!
