Find experienced child care providers in Vista, CA

Hi there! My name is Jillian, and I am locally based in the Oceanside/San Diego area. I just recently graduated with my B.A. in Sociology at CSUSM & plan on pursing my PhD next year! I’m a free-spirited, joyful person who loves to laugh, read, write, create art, swim in the ocean, enjoy nature, and hunt for unique vintage finds while thrifting! I bring nearly a decade of hands-on childcare experience, working with children from newborns to teens (typically ages 0–14). I genuinely love creating engaging and imaginative activities that help kids learn and grow—whether we’re crafting, reading, exploring outside, or just enjoying a cozy day at home. I also have light experience with Montessori-style caregiving, if that aligns with your family’s values. I’ve worked long-term with several families (5+ years) and would be happy to provide references upon request. I’m comfortable managing larger groups, with plenty of experience caring for 4–6 children at a time. I also have over a year of experience being a “household manager/helper” dealing with more tasks like meal prep, grocery shopping, family planning, errands, laundry, pick up/drop off, light housecleaning & so much in between! If this is of any interest to you, please contact me as well with any questions! I look forward to connecting, so feel free to reach out—I’d love to chat!

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!

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, I lead a life focused on creating a positive atmosphere for both myself and those around me. I would consider myself reserved, yet in the right environment my bubbly side shines through. I would consider myself a busy body so schedules and organization have always been a big part of my life. I love to clean and in most cases find it relaxing. Thanks to my mom I love to cook and have a lot of experiences with easy meals that are super delicious. I have a lot of experience working with kids and find that they bring out the bubbly side in me the most. I have experience working as an intern at Pilgrims Preschool from 2018 to 2019. From this, I was able to learn fun activities and the proper ways to teach children from ages 2-4. From 2014-2020 I also volunteered in my church nursery, working with kids ages 0 to 2. I believe teaching and playing through art and nature is a major step in the personal growth of children! During my first nanny job I was responsible for caring for a 1yr old, 3 yr old and 5yr old. I was responsible for getting them dressed and cooking breakfast in the morning. I would then pack snacks and the diaper bag for the days adventure. After the park I cooked lunch and nap time started. During nap time I would clean and do laundry as well as organize anything the parents needed me to. I was also responsible for organizing the children’s schedule as well as looking after the children’s fabulous 99yr old great grandmother. More recently I worked for a 18month and 3yr old (now 3 and 5) and I was their nanny for a year till I started my college journey but I still babysit them frequently and consider them family! My last nanny job was for 8month old twins (now 22 months) and I was with them for over a year part time but I am now moving and I will miss them so much! Over all as a nanny my goal is to make the children happy and the parents lives easier so that they can spend the most time with their kids once I leave. Only the best to come, Olivia

I have worked at two different churches watching infants and toddlers, I currently take care of a toddler part time and have been watching her since she was 7 months. I am cpr/first aid trained. I enjoy teaching infants and toddlers and help them grow and learn. I am a grandmother type with no children or grandchildren of my own and would love to be able to offer that support for a family needing help. Kids are my passion and I find it very rewarding. Children have a special place in my heart. I am kind and patient, At my church, I am sometimes called a baby whisperer as I am most likely to get an infant or toddler to calm down and sleep. I also love animals as I worked with animals for over 25 years.

I have been working with kids since I was 12, first training as a mother's helper, then becoming the neighborhood babysitter, then nannying. As a nanny I worked for homeschool families as their teacher, a caretaker for a special needs child, overnight for a nurse, and the longest nannying gig I had was 7 years. I'm still in contact with all the families I've worked for. I've also worked as a teacher for preschool to 1st grade kids at 2 schools, and have worked after school care for all elementary ages at another school. I also have 17 years of experience teaching early levels of piano and 3 years tutoring at Kumon. I even work with kids at a local dance studio, where I take care of the front desk and manage getting kids checked in for their classes. My current full-time job is teaching Tk-1st grade at a small private Acton/Montessori school. When I'm not working, I enjoy reading, writing, cross stitching, being with my wonderful family, and hanging out with my cat.

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!

My name is Abbey McCormick. I am 31 years old and I live in Encinitas. I am available to work anywhere in the San Diego area. I have over 5 years of babysitting/nannying experience and can provide references for the families I worked with most recently if needed. I am a self-proclaimed craft master and fun time expert! I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and I have a big family. Growing up, I was surrounded by young children (cousins, nieces, etc.) so rest assured your kiddo is in good hands! Childcare has always been a passion of mine. I am more than happy to help with all your needs, such as light housekeeping, pet care, laundry, carpool, crafts and more. I have my own SUV. I’m also CPR/First Aid certified. I also have pets & love animals—if you have them that’s great. Not to brag, but I have been called the 'most fun nanny' on more than one occasion, by both kids and adults! Energetic and friendly are how my friends describe me. I know the importance of playtime, but I also understand that there is a time and place for everything, even quiet time. I'll make sure your child sticks to their schedule and takes care of other things such as homework and bedtime routines. I am excited to meet your family!
