Khadija A., Nanny in La Jolla, CA 92037 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi! As a CPR-certified caregiver with years of hands-on childcare experience, I bring both heart and knowledge to every job. I’m a reliable and nurturing childcare provider with several years of experience caring for children from infancy through middle school. My background includes working in both private homes and structured daycare settings, including experience supporting children with varying needs. I prioritize creating a safe, engaging, and respectful environment where children can thrive. I'm patient, attentive, and always aim to support each child’s unique personality and routine.

Khadija has been such a gift to our family. As a first time mom, I felt a lot of anxiety about entrusting someone else with my baby when I returned to work. From our very first interview, Khadija’s calm, kind demeanor put me at ease. Watching her interact with my son only confirmed what I had hoped for- that she would provide the gentleness, warmth, patience, encouragement, and playfulness every parent hopes their child will experience with any caretaker. Khadija is attentive, observant, and incredibly intuitive. She is creative and engaging during playtime, communicates wonderfully, and is flexible and adaptable when the day doesn’t go according to plan. She truly knows how to “ride the wave” and meet my son where he is, whether he’s having a happy, high-energy day or isn’t feeling his best and needs a little extra calmness, comfort, and attention. She respects his routine while also reading his cues well and adjusting to his needs. Her ability to balance consistency with flexibility is something I deeply appreciate. Thanks to Khadija, I can focus on work, leave the house when needed, and go about my day without wondering whether my son is in good hands. That peace of mind is invaluable. What makes Khadija even more special is that her care extends beyond my son to me, too. This was never something outlined in our contract or discussed, it's simply something she offers of her own volition as a thoughtful and compassionate human being. She meets me where I am, whether it’s a chatty day, a difficult postpartum day, an emotional day, or one of those light and easy days. She brings a steadiness and kindness that make the beautiful, messy, and sometimes challenging parts of life feel a little lighter. She has been a source of support not only for my son, but for me as I’ve navigated motherhood. I trust Khadija wholeheartedly with my baby, and I feel incredibly fortunate that she is part of our lives. We are so grateful for the care, love, and peace of mind she brings to our family, and I sincerely hope she’ll be able to support us again as our family hopefully grows. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to another family looking for someone who will care for their child with genuine warmth, attentiveness, and heart.

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.

Hello! My name is Rose, and I am a warm, dependable, and highly experienced childcare professional with a lifelong passion for working with children. I currently work for the San Diego Unified School District as a Paraeducator, supporting students with special needs, including children with mild/moderate and moderate/severe disabilities. Every day, I help children develop academically, socially, and emotionally while creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment. Before moving to the United States, I spent over 25 years as a teacher, working with elementary, middle, and high school students. I hold a Master’s degree and have dedicated my career to helping children succeed through patience, encouragement, and individualized support. In addition to my educational background, I have been working as a nanny for a 6-month-old infant and have been providing professional babysitting and tutoring services for children of different ages. I understand that every child is unique, and I enjoy creating engaging activities that promote learning, creativity, confidence, and fun. Families appreciate that I am patient, kind, organized, dependable, and attentive to detail. I believe in open communication with parents and strive to provide the same love, care, and respect that I would want for my own family. Whether caring for an infant, toddler, school-age child, or a child with special needs, I am committed to providing exceptional care and helping each child feel happy, safe, and valued. I am a non-smoker, have a clean driving record, speak English, and love animals. I would be happy to provide excellent references and would welcome the opportunity to meet or speak by phone. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to becoming a trusted partner in your family’s childcare journey!

I’m happy to teach kids Spanish and I’m comfortable with all their routines (daytime, nap time, evenings, night time, homework). I’m also comfortable driving with them and helping them with their homework! I took Child Development classes at SMC and I learned a lot about, as a caregiver, how to help children to develop their physical, cognitive, and emotional skills. - Fully vaccinated - Own transportation - Reliable references - Driver License - Non-smoker - Comfortable with pets

I am currently a student studying to become a speech pathologist, with the intention of working in schools one day! I love working with kids, during the school year I work at a daycare with ages ranging from infants - 6 years old. This semester I also started working with Right At School in Berrien Springs Public Schools, with grades kindergarten-5th. I am also a big animal person and would enjoy watching over your pets as well, as I frequently cat and dog sit and have a couple cats myself. I would love to get to know you and your family:)

Camille is amazing. I was losing hope on finding someone trustworthy and reliable in San Diego until I met her. She's been a real blessing to our family, taking care of our 8-month-old son. She's great at sticking to his schedule without us even having to remind her. We're so thankful for her reliability and how she just gets our little one without us having to say a word.

I had trouble finding care for my son for school break and Sabrina responded quickly to my message. When she did come to visit she was punctual, kind, respectful, and my son adored her. He said he had lots of fun with her. They played board games, put a puzzle together, watched movies and she helped fix his lunch. He’s already asking me when she can come again!

Monica B., Nanny in La Jolla, CA 92037 with 20 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!

Emily M., Nanny in La Jolla, CA 92037 with 3 years of paid experience

My name is Emily, and being a babysitter is a true passion that I pursue with both enthusiasm and responsibility. I love working with children because every day with them is unique. I enjoy helping them grow, encouraging their creativity, and guiding them through small everyday discoveries. I have experience caring for children of various ages, especially toddlers and preschoolers, both in family settings and more structured environments. Families I’ve worked with describe me as reliable, sweet, and very organized. My key skills include: Meal preparation Age-appropriate educational and play activities Sleep routines and handling sensitive moments (tantrums, mood changes, separation anxiety) For me, being a babysitter is more than just a job — it’s an opportunity to build trust with families and provide children with a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. Work Experience October 2023 – October 2024 | Italy I worked for a family with a 1-year-old girl. Our typical day started with breakfast and a walk in the park to get fresh air and some exercise. Around lunchtime, we returned home, I fed her, and put her down for a nap. During her nap, I took care of light housework such as tidying up and doing laundry. Once she woke up, we did indoor activities based on the parents’ suggestions. June 2023 – September 2023 | Greece I worked with a resort animation agency, specifically in the kids' club, caring for children aged 2 to 6. Activities varied by age group: sensory and simple games for the little ones, crafts and outings to the pool or beach for the older children. It was a fun and dynamic experience that helped me grow both personally and professionally. 2024 – Present | San Diego, USA From time to time, I help a friend who works as a babysitter for a family with 2.5-year-old twins. They are very active and energetic, so we often engage in outdoor activities that help stimulate them both physically and mentally, always with safety as a top priority. September 2025 – August 2026 | San Diego, USA I worked as a nanny for a family with twin toddlers for almost a year, building a great relationship with both the children and their parents. I really enjoyed working with them, and my position ended when the twins started school.

Abbey M., Nanny in La Jolla, CA 92037 with 7 years of paid experience

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!
