Mariana took care of our baby since he was 6 weeks old. She is kind, experienced, and pays a lot of attention to details. As my baby has grown and changed, she has adapted naturally to each new stage. Mariana is also extremely dependable and easy to work with. She communicates well with us, respects our preferences as parents, and has been flexible as our family's needs and schedules have changed. We have always been able to count on her. I recommend Mariana without hesitation and with complete confidence.

Svitlana L., Nanny in Carlsbad, CA 92009 with 11 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Svitlana, and I have more than 10 years of experience caring for children of different ages, from infants to school-age children. I truly enjoy working with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel safe and happy. I am a caring, patient, responsible, and reliable nanny who creates a warm and positive environment for every child. My experience includes caring for infants as young as two months old, toddlers, preschoolers, and older children. I assist with feeding, diaper changes, nap schedules, developmental activities, outdoor walks, meal preparation, homework help, and maintaining daily routines. I also have experience caring for multiple children at the same time, including twins. Families appreciate my dependability, kindness, and ability to build strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. I have my own reliable transportation, am comfortable with pets, and can communicate in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. I am available for full-time and part-time nanny positions, as well as occasional evening, weekend, and date-night babysitting. Excellent references are available upon request. I am currently available for new opportunities and would love to become a supportive and caring part of your family. My current nanny position ends on July 17, and I will be available to start shortly after that date.

Svitlana was perfect with our Baby boy. She was with him from when he was 3 months old until 11 months. He is very happy and smiles so big when he sees her. She took care of feedings, walks, play time and diaper changes. She has great communication, and she is very responsible. We never had any issues.

Laura L., Nanny in Carlsbad, CA 92009 with 10 years of paid experience

I was a teacher for 20 years and have been a full time nanny and tutor for the last 22 years. I have worked with children that have been diagnosed with a form of Autism in addition to taking care of a 4 pound preemie that was colicky and had special medical needs. I  have experience tutoring children with A.D.H.D and have worked with very active 16 month old twins.  I am physically fit, very active and have an overabundance amount of energy. With my background experience, there is no challenging situation that I cannot master. I am registered with some of the top nanny agencies in San Diego and Orange County. They have performed a full extensive background check and I am registered with Trustline and Live Scan.  I am also C.P.R. and First Aid certified and have been for the last 25 years. Most agencies charge an entire's month salary for top quality nannies. I am looking for a part time position with the right family.  I have been working with several families that have found me through this site and through referrals.  I can e-mail you my resume and several reference numbers if requested. An added note.........Children have always been my number one passion in life. I enjoy presenting them with new, fun and challenging activities.  I truly enjoy watching their faces light up when they have  finally mastered that difficult task that they have been working on. They have a way of brightening your day when everything else seems to be going wrong. I have been working with children since I was 15 years old. I honestly cannot imagine doing anything else as a profession. I LOVE children! Please consider me if you are truly looking for an exceptional caregiver with LOTS of experience.

We are so thankful to have met Laura! I was very nervous to hire a sitter (after a few historical prior experiences of finding nannies on Facebook); however, Laura was so patient and kind with all my of my inquiries. She provided all of the information I requested, such as background check and Trustline certification (gold standard, which I personally called to verify). After meeting her and checking references, I truly felt at ease. Lastly, and just as important, she is wonderful with the kids. She really is a "career nanny" and it makes a difference. When I say that, I mean that she takes her job very seriously. She is very intentional and focused with the kids. She goes from activity A to activity B to activity C.... vs. just letting kids roam on their own. Laura is extremely hands on and active with the kids. She is worth every penny for both the peace of mind as well and the structured play she provides the kids. We are very thankful to have met Laura!

Laurem  C., Nanny in Carlsbad, CA 92009 with 9 years of paid experience

Hi, my name is Lauren! I'm a recent graduate with my B.S in Psychology with a passion for understanding how individuals, communities, and societies can thrive in their environments. This can translates to providing reliable, engaging, compassionate, and fun childcare. I'm 23 and love to spend time outside, do art, backpack, read, and travel. I've had a lot of experience working with kids of all ages and l've worked with kids in different settings for over 9 years. Most recently I worked with young kids in a residential mental health treatment facility, supporting kids with their daily routine and in crisis. That being said, I have experience working with kids diagnosed with a variety of mental health conditions including ADHD, ASD, PTSD, ODD, and others. Being a resource and finding ways for kids and families to access wellness, safety, and support is really important to me.

Jessica has been an absolute blessing for our family. She cared for our daughter Sia from when she was 9 months old until 2 years of age, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. I truly believe that Jessica played a huge role in Sia becoming an early talker, she constantly engaged her in conversation, narrating daily activities, describing surroundings, and encouraging her to express herself. Their days were full of learning, fun, and exploration. Jessica took Sia to parks and the library frequently, giving her plenty of outdoor time and exposure to books and activities. She also collaborated with us on potty training and was incredibly supportive and patient throughout the process. I especially appreciated how she planned thoughtful and creative activities like coloring and painting, which not only helped with development but also took a lot of mental load off me as a parent. One of the biggest comforts was how relaxed I felt when Sia was in her care, I always knew she was safe, happy, and loved. Jessica also cared for our younger daughter from 2 months to 5 months old with the same warmth, attention, and gentleness. She is still a part of our family. We often talk and connect. Jessica is nurturing, proactive, dependable, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of children. We are deeply grateful for the positive impact she has had on our girls and our family. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and dedicated caregiver

Jillian R., Nanny in Carlsbad, CA 92009 with 10 years of paid experience

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 very comfortable with overnights as well & have years of experience and have stayed up to 2 weeks for a family! I’ve managed 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!

Jillian is a blessing to our family. She is so present and engages with my son’s wild imagination. She also is very comforting and the first time my son met Jillian. He fell asleep in her arms just by her reading a book when my nap time routine used to be a cirque de Soleil presentation of rocking and bouncing and singing and patting. Jillian, we are so grateful for you!

Olivia  B., Nanny in Carlsbad, CA 92009 with 6 years of paid experience

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

Hi! My name is Abbey and I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old, but in the last 6 years I have made childcare my main focus. I love children and would be beyond happy to meet your family. I have pets and love them, if you have them then that’s great. I have experience with kiddos ranging from 8 months to 18 years old. However, I’m a quick learner so if you have a newborn I’m happy to adapt to your family’s needs. Just tell me something one time, and I’ll do my best to remember and execute and problem solve so next time you don’t have to teach me again. I am warm, social, outgoing, and dependable. I’m happy to jump on a phone call to introduce myself further and explain my rates or specialties. I’ve been crowned the “most fun nanny” on several occasions by both parents and their kiddos. Looking forward to working with you!

Hello! My name is Isabella Shattenberg. I am 20 years old, and currently living in Oceanside, CA. I moved from Santa Barbara in January and am actively continuing my studies at Santa Barbara City College online. I am an artist, surfer, and have a big heart for children! I love kids and have qualified experience in nannying, babysitting, and educational support. Though originally from Santa Barbara, I spent most of my childhood in Madagascar, where my parents currently live and work today. I grew up helping at the Sarobidy Maternity Center, surrounded by newborns and mothers—experiences that sparked my deep love for caregiving. Over the past 20 years, I’ve lived in in several countries all of which have shaped me into someone who is adaptable, nurturing, and culturally aware. My goal is always to always create a safe, loving, and enriching environment where kids can thrive. If interested, I would love to meet your family in person and get better acquainted!
