Rebeca Z., Child Care in Valley Center, CA 92082 with 4 years of paid experience

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!

Lily M., Child Care in Valley Center, CA 92082 with 7 years of paid experience

My name is Lily, I am in the navy and I am a hospital corpsman, so I am CPR and BLS certified (as well as field medic certified) I am looking for a part time job to fill my time, but on occasion I will have duty. Which means sometimes I will not be available. I would like this job because I love working with children, and animals!I also used to teach children and even adults of all ages how to swim, so that would not be any issue for me if you needed extra assistance learning to swim! It would be best to let me know the times and days at least a week in advance, or more if possible so I can plan out my duty days. Please let me know if this will work for you! Also, I get off of work at 5pm every Monday-Friday, so if this is okay I would be more than willing to work something out! If you have any questions, or would like to meet up to see if I am a good fit for your family. Thank you!

Chandler K., Child Care in Valley Center, CA 92082 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi I’m Chandler :) I’m a 26 year old former cheerleader/future teacher. I have an associates degree in Child Development and am currently in school for my bachelors so I can teach. :) have been caring for children as a profession since I was 18 and I know I’ll never ever do anything else. I am a respite care provider as well as a babysitter through Sittercity. I was a teachers assistant for 6 years in a special education classroom but left this year to take school on full time. Before this, I did volunteer work for special needs programs while I was a teen. All in all I have 10 years of experience which have molded me into a patient and intuitive caregiver. I have lots of energy to keep up with any child and I truly enjoy their company. I’ve cared for all ages from 2 months old through to adulthood and am very comfortable learning new routines and home rhythms. Every person deserves to be cared for by people who choose to spend their day with them. This is how I spend my days :)

Diana S., Child Care in Valley Center, CA 92082 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Diana, and I am a fully qualified Early Childhood Educator with several years of experience supporting children and families. Working with families is more than a job to me, it’s something I genuinely love and value. My passion for childcare began at a young age while assisting my mother, who served as a nursery leader at our church. Over the years, I supported infants and older children in classroom settings, and I continue to serve in children’s ministry today. Professionally, I worked as a nanny for one family for four years and have provided childcare support for multiple families. I later worked in a licensed daycare, caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school aged children. During this time, I earned my Early Childhood Education units and was promoted to Lead Infant Teacher. In addition to childcare, I have experience supporting homeschooling by assisting with daily routines, age appropriate learning activities, homework help, and creating a structured yet nurturing learning environment.While I loved working in a classroom setting, I am currently continuing my education and working toward my long-term goal of opening my own daycare. At this stage, I am seeking a lower-paced, family-focused environment where I can provide individualized, attentive care and fully dedicate my time and energy to one family.

Alyda M., Child Care in Valley Center, CA 92082 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello, families my name is Alyda and I am 29 years old. I am a very honest, energetic and a loving person. I have been caring for children for as long as I can remember. Most recently, I worked for a family in Fallbrook for 8 years, but the kiddos have gotten older! I love to cook and do not have any problems doing some light housekeeping (picking up after the children, doing dishes, occasional children’s laundry, etc.). I am excellent at making super fun (healthy) snacks for children! I believe kids should create memories outdoors! I speak English and Spanish fluently. I am non-smoker as well as have a clean driving record. I am also a dog owner so I would definitely not mind being around dogs. I’m also a certified parenting instructor from prenatal care to adolescence. I’d be happy to provide references as well as meet or chat on the phone. Looking forward to hearing from you and I wish you the best of luck with your search!

Hunter K., Child Care in Valley Center, CA 92082 with 3 years of paid experience

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!

Sierra A., Child Care in Valley Center, CA 92082 with 7 years of paid experience

I love kids! And they love me, too! I have had 12 years of paid experience as a babysitter/nanny. I have taught both preschool and piano lessons, tutored at Kumon for 2 years, and have been in charge of kids of all ages, including babies! I am comfortable with multiples - I actually prefer having more than one kiddo running around. My experience at the preschool has given me insight child development and all that comes with it. I love helping children to learn and I am careful to mark milestones. I would love to talk to you about your child/children and what you might have in store for me as their future nanny. :)
