Lucille B., Nanny in La Mesa, CA 91942 with 3 years of paid experience

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:)

Monica B., Nanny in La Mesa, CA 91942 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!

Maria antonella H., Nanny in La Mesa, CA 91942 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello Families! My name is Antonella, I am 29 years old, originally from Argentina. I came to the US 8 years ago to be an Au Pair and work with young children. I graduated last year with a BA in Psychology and now I work occasionally as a nanny and date nights sitter:) I have 10 years of experience with children of different ages (4 months old - 15 years old) and I enjoy spending time with all of them! Before starting college I was an Au Pair for two years and gained a lot of experience with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers/kindergarteners. I’ve worked as a live in nanny, live out full time and part time, and occasionally nanny for multiple families! 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

Antonella came to babysit my two daughters when I went for a one-time weeknight event. Before coming she briefly FaceTime my two girls. I asked a few weeks ago, so the day before the scheduled event she texted me to confirm. That’s very proactive and I’m glad she did! On the day of, she came on time and is very responsive via text. She came over to play with them and organized dinner. The kids love playing with her. Would definitely reach out to Antonella again the next time I need a babysitter!

Sabrina was the best sitter for the kids. She was very responsive and attentive throughout this whole process. The kids were happy and fed and said that they had so much fun. Sabrina is very sweet I’m happy to have her babysit anytime I’m in California.

Svitlana L., Nanny in La Mesa, CA 91942 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.

Elizabeth H., Nanny in La Mesa, CA 91942 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Elizabeth, and I’m a responsible and compassionate caregiver with both professional and academic experience working with children. I hold a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and work full-time as an engineer analyst, but I’m looking to provide after-school care, date-night help, or weekend support for families who need an extra hand. Before my current career, I worked in child care,behavioral health settings and was a swim instructor as well which gave me strong skills in patience, communication, and safety awareness—qualities that naturally carry over to childcare. I’m CPR certified, dependable, and very comfortable helping with homework, preparing meals, light clean-up, and creating fun, structured activities. Families describe me as warm, trustworthy, and attentive. My goal is to make sure your kids feel safe, cared for, and genuinely enjoy their time while you’re away.

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 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!
