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!

Hi Monica is great with our toddler. He is always tuckered out by the end of the day. She reads to him and got him to nap well. He loves to see her :) we will continue to hire Monica! Thanks! Ocean beach family

We reached out Riley for a last minute request to babysit our 18 month old daughter. Riley arrived on time and immediately connected with our daughter. She played with our daughter throughout the day, helped feed her, and kept her entertained. We had a really great experience with Riley and we highly recommend her to other parents. We look forward to inviting her back in the future.

Hi! My name is Jailey! I am 24 years old, from Orange, CA, and am fully vaccinated. I have experience in high-profile nannying, long-term nannying, and babysitting as well as experience working with children with disabilities, autism, infants, twins, and more.

I am fun, energetic, and love doing fun activities whenever I can. I recently just graduated from GCU with a Bachelor of Science in Health Care Administration. There’s pretty much nothing I won’t do from helping with homework, changing diapers, driving, helping around the house, etc.! I cant wait to hopefully be able to meet you and your family!

We booked Jailey last minute to help watch our 17 month old while we attended wedding events. Our daughter can be hard to please at this age and she did amazing with Jailey! It’s very clear that Jailey is experienced and comfortable with kids. She gave us updates and send cute photos while we were gone. She was very flexible with me changing the times last minute, was responsive and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Jailey for baby sitting!

Laura was very professional and clearly an expert with children. We hired her to watch our 2 young boys while in town for a wedding. We had a great experience all around. She handled dinnertime and bedtime with them without any issues. We felt they were safe and in good hands under her care! Highly recommend Laura and would have her watch our boys again if we are ever in the San Diego area again!

Violet R., Nanny in La Jolla, CA 92037 with 25 years of paid experience

Seeking Nannywork &/or Babysitting. I believe in learning through play. I organized first Art Program for Homeschoolers in Northwestern Oklahoma, was Head Potter at Leonardo's Children's Museum, & have taught Music & Art for over 20 years, & Astronomy & Etiquette. Due to Allergies (mammalian), a Vegetarian, Peskitarian, or Vegan Family would be ideal. I am a Christian & accepting of other cultures & religions. Religion in general, was one of my minors in college. I received the best of 2015 & 2016 Piano Instructor award, & received featured Business Spotlight, La Mesa, California, through Thumbtack. I have Passport & PassCard. Will consider travel. Parents are responsible for transport, travel, travel insurance (when necessary), costs, activity expenses, & child-related activity costs or other child related expenses. Piano &/or Art Lessons, are roughly $40-$60, all supplies included. Sickness Policy: Typically. I will not care for sick children. However, It depends on what they have. As someone who has kids at home & works with other families, I don't want to risk getting them sick. If it's contagious, I leave it to the parents to be parents & I stay home to avoid spreading it from one household to the other. Just like if my kids at home were sick, I wouldn't take their germs to work with me. If it isn't contagious, then I stick to whatever needs to be done: medicine, cuddling & fluids. My favorite sports are: Baseball, Basketball, Bowling, Dance (Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, Ballroom), Fishing, Hula-hooping, Jump Rope, kickball, Roller Skating, Swimming, Tennis, Twirling, Yoga. When necessary, I can pick or disable most bedroom or bathroom locks. I’ve also completed basic self-defense, gun safety, conceal & carry classes within State of Oklahoma. Some of my favorite activities: Astronomy, Aquarium, Visiting Museums, Travel, Reading, Sewing and Design, Building things (remodeling, basic carpentry, fix-it, models or miniatures such as cars/ houses/ airplane's), Music and Art, Classic Cars, Agriculture, Movies.

Violet was excellent with my son. She helped me out when I was traveling for work in San Diego. This meant that she had to meet my son very quickly and figure out what would make him happy. She did all of that during my work trip, to the point where when he woke up the next day, he was asking for her and her toys. Overall, she was great, she communicated, shared her location, and talked about what my and my son’s needs were, and planned for any potential back ups. She also came with her own toys and supplies. She was clearly very experienced with kids at many ages and again, very quickly integrated with our family and made my whole trip possible.

Thoughtful, detail-oriented, caring, reliable, collaborative and communicative. Khadija embodies everything we were looking for in not only a sitter, but someone who truly cared in providing us with help in our home. She was diligent in keeping up with our kids schedules, which is difficult for us to do on our own at times! She helped our 10 year old son track and manage a daily schedule to keep up with his homework, studying, reading, and activities at the speed that supported his growth into independently managing his daily to do's. She provided rides to our older daughter and keep up with the demands of her high school activities and sports practice. We highly recommend Khadija as a caretaker and someone who will take the time to get to know your household and support needs on a regular basis..

Abbey M., Nanny in La Jolla, CA 92037 with 5 years of paid experience

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!
