Lisa T., Nanny in Poway, CA 92064 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

I highly recommend Lisa as a babysitter - she sat for our one year old son and did an amazing job. Lisa chatted with me on the phone prior to the job, and talked me through her extensive experience. This was our first time leaving or son with a sitter, and Lisa made us feel extremely comfortable. She arrived early, spent time understanding his bedtime routine, and made it clear we could check in as much as we wanted. When we left she provided proactive updates, and we also decided to stay out later than we had originally intended, which Lisa was happy to accommodate. Overall, we highly recommend Lisa!

Svitlana L., Nanny in Poway, CA 92064 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.

Monica B., Nanny in Poway, CA 92064 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!

Pietra watched our two little boys (3 & 1) for a long date night. She made us feel incredibly comfortable from the start and the boys warmed up to her instantly. It was clear she had a lot of experience in working with younger kids and knew how to keep them engaged (and well behaved). She did an excellent job getting them fed, bathed, and off to bed on time. Our oldest was so comfortable with her that he fell asleep on her lap on the couch. Pietra went above and beyond to make sure the house was cleaned up, too. We'll 100% use her again. Thank you!

Malia  F., Nanny in Poway, CA 92064 with 3 years of paid experience

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!

We onboarded Savannah as a babysitter recently and were so pleased. She was calm and engaging with our kids and we felt confident leaving them in her care. Our son has a lot of sensory seeking behaviors that can be a lot, and Savannah has experience and perspective that made it feel comfortable even with all the energy. Kiddos liked having her over a lot and we adults did, too! Will be adding her to our "regulars" list. Thanks, Savannah!

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 Poway, CA 92064 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!

Sierra A., Nanny in Poway, CA 92064 with 20 years of paid experience

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.
