Monica B., Nanny in La Jolla, CA 92037 with 30 years of paid experience

I am now available most days, nights or overnights! Either full (5 days/nights) or part time (1,2, or 3 days/nights) per week. I am used to working long hours, as most of my jobs have been for families within the medical community. In the meantime, I am also available for evening, your date nights, or overnights should you need a weekend away. Whatever your schedule is, please ask me, I may be able to help you, or work something out on a temporary basis. I graduated from C.E.R.T. (community emergency response team) Academy, taught by San Diego Fire-Rescue Dept. I am happy to be of service to my community in case of a disaster or terrorist attack. I have all three CPR certificates for infant, child, and adult. My first aid training exceeds that of the general public. I love babies/kids of all ages and they love me! I appreciate the hard work and sacrifice of our military families and I give military family discounts! If your child has any special needs, such as medical or behavioral, I may charge a little more. You may contact me by text message or calling. Please leave a message with your name, number, area you live in, and the times and date you are looking for a sitter and I will be happy to return your call as soon as I am able. Thank you!

Lisa T., Nanny in La Jolla, CA 92037 with 40 years of paid experience

Hello Parents, Im Lisa, a 52 year old energetic responsible and mature woman with a background check. I'm drug, Alcohol & smoke free. I have a truck, car, car seat, clean driver's license and full insurance. I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old which gives me 34 years of experience. I also pet sit so if you are out of town I can watch your furry baby's too. Other experience; premie babies, 4 days old babies, LOTS of twins and a 3 year old triplets, children with autism, ADHD, Asperger, Down syndrome, asthma and special diets such as gluten-free & dairy free. -2019 I was caring for twin girls since they were 4 months old 2 days a week until they were a year old. - 7/2011 - 7/2017 I was watching Kai from 13 months old till 7. Kai has Autism, delayed walking & speech, many food allergies and some behavioral issues. I watched Kai for an occasional date night & then every Sunday. On Sunday's I picked him up at 8 am at his house in La Jolla. I then drove him to Poway for a soccer class followed by breakfast at a local restaurant. Afterwards we would go to a local park/library/zoo/sea world/movie during the middle of the day. At 3 I would drive him to his 3:30 therapy horseback riding where his parents pick him up at 4. Kai would also sleep over at my home 1 night every couple of months so his parents can have a night away. Kai is gluten free & dairy free so I can follow a stick food program. I also house sit & dog sat when they went out of town. Sadly after watching Kai for 6 years he has moved out of state on July 2016 to be closer to his grandparents. 2- 2009-2018 Samantha age 12 and Stephanie is 9 years old. I had been watching the girls since they were 3 years old and 4 months old. I saw this family about once every other month. 3- 2015 - 2018; I had been watching Sam since he was 4 months old and he is now 3 years old . I saw this family every other month. This is a VERY small part of my babysitting history. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me. Thank you very much for considering me, Lisa

Joanne E., Nanny in La Jolla, CA 92037 with 36 years of paid experience

I have 36 years experience. Both hands on and educational ( AA in Early Childhood) . Certificates in Early Childhood education. I am originally from the East Coast but also have lived in Southern California. My favorite thing about being a Nanny is contributing to the development of the child. Continuity of care is the most important gift you can give to a child. That means a person in your home who loves on your child, along with teaching age appropriate activities. Challenging both the mind and the body. Love starting with newborns and watching them grow. Seeing how the hours of reading and talking to the child. Then creates a child who is advanced in language. Along with singing and explaining there worlds around them. In addition to taking full advantage of S. Diego's weather and being outside as much as possible to strengthen their gross motor skills. Along with self esteem building. Having them assist you in early stages of cooking. When a child feels good about themselves. Their confidence spills over in everything they attempt and then accomplish. Love to see them accomplish a once challenging task. It is a great advantage to have a Nanny in the home for when a child does get his/her first cold, or new tooth. Have the Nanny be there for them. In addition taking care of the parents and home needs gives parents peace of mind. So they can go out into the world in their professions. I enjoy cooking, laundry, teaching your child to walk, swim, paint, draw, lots of other arts and craft activities. Most of all building a strong foundation of security. I am Trustlined Certified. C.P.R & First aid certified. Covid vaccine & boosters. T.B. test negative. Liberal minded Nanny looking for families who have same views. I am trying to create a great Citizen within your child.
