Lisa is the absolute best! She's more than a sitter... She goes above and beyond caring for our child, plays with the dogs, and keep our house clean!

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.

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

Olivia is a bright light! Very engaging with my 13 month old as well as super responsible, thoughtful, and caring. She's incredibly hard working and has essentially become my right hand in running the household in all daily chores.

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!

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!

I am a fun loving person who loves kids of all ages. I have 15+ years of experience working with kids from infant - kindergarten and can work with school aged children too. 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.

Linda was such a great sitter for my 1 year old son! She came in calmly and he quickly felt comfortable with her, and she followed his routine / cues well so he was able to nap, eat, and play happily. I worked from home while she cared for him.

Hey! My name is Malia Foucault, and I absolutely love caring for children. For as long as I can remember, I have loved kids. I was a caregiver for two boys, ages 10 and 8, for about two years. I was trusted with picking the children up from school, leading them with homework, and assisting them with rides to and from sports, restaurants, and friends' houses. I will be a junior at San Diego State University next fall. I am majoring in liberal studies with an emphasis in elementary education. I have three years of paid experience with infants, elementary-level children, and middle school-age children. I am CPR and first aid certified and ready to create a fun, positive, safe environment for your kids!

Sophie has been a wonderful part of our family for the past year, caring for our daughter since she was just four months old. Now that our daughter is a year and a half, it’s been incredible to see the special bond they’ve developed. My daughter absolutely adores Sophie — she lights up when she sees her, loves spending time with her, and is always happy and comfortable in her care. Sophie is kind, patient, reliable, and such a joy to work with. She has been thoughtful, nurturing, and truly invested in our daughter’s growth and happiness. We’ve always felt completely at ease knowing our daughter was with her, and we’re so grateful for the love and care she has given our family over the past year. We would absolutely hire Sophie again and highly recommend her to any family looking for someone who will care for their child with genuine warmth and dedication.

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! 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!
