Abigail P., Nanny in Poway, CA 92064 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Abby! I’m an elementary teacher in the Poway Unified School District with a passion for child development. I graduated from California State University San Marcos in 2024 with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, with a focus on Child Development. I’ve been nannying and babysitting for over five years and have built lasting relationships with many of the families I’ve worked with. I have experience caring for children from 6 months to 14 years old, including twins, neurodivergent children, and overnight care. I’m fully vaccinated and boosted, a non-smoker, and CPR certified for adults, infants, and children (documentation available upon request). I have my own reliable transportation, a clean background check, and a driving record completed through Checkr (the screening service used by Sittercity). I’m also very comfortable with pets of all shapes and sizes and am happy to help with pet care while you’re away. In addition to babysitting and nannying, I offer tutoring and am often available on short notice, including for evening and overnight care. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me! I look forward to connecting with your family and seeing how I can help.

Abigail was amazing to work with, she was very communicative, and during our initial call asked many good questions! We would absolutely work with her again if we were in the area.

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!

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!

Maria is fantastic! Our little one took to her instantly as did our dog! She is caring and fun. I never had to worry about her being on time or if my daughter would be occupied. She always went the extra mile. :)

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.

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.

Viviana watched our daughter in April while we were visiting San Diego for a wedding. She was easy to communicate with, provided references promptly, and incredibly warm and engaged with our daughter as soon as she arrived. We were still getting ready, and she jumped right in to play with our toddler and even helped entertain our 5 year old a bit while we finished getting ready, which was above and beyond as he was coming with us so she'd only been hired to watch our toddler. If we lived in the area we would absolutely use Viviana again!

Makayla S., Nanny in Poway, CA 92064 with 1 year of paid experience

Hi! I’m Makayla. I’m 24 years old and recently graduated with my bachelor’s degree. I’m a dependable, patient, and caring person who genuinely loves working with children. I’m also a single mom to my one-year-old daughter, so I’m looking for a family who is comfortable with me bringing her along while I nanny. I know this isn’t the right fit for every family, but I believe it can be a wonderful experience for children to have a little friend to learn, play, and grow with each day. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where your child feels supported, encouraged, and cared for. I love spending time outdoors, going to parks and the library, reading books, doing crafts, sensory activities, and finding creative ways to help children learn through play. Being a mom has taught me patience, flexibility, and the importance of creating a calm, nurturing routine. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone, and I would care for your little one with the same kindness, attention, and respect that I give my own daughter. I’m reliable, organized, and easy to communicate with. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Here's a polished review you can post: Review for Makayla Makayla took care of my son, Noah, exactly the way I wanted, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She is warm, reliable, and very easy to talk to and work with. Communication was always great. She kept me updated and wasn't afraid to ask for my opinion whenever she was unsure about a situation or how to handle something, which I truly appreciated as a parent. My son absolutely loved spending time with Cordelia, her daughter. They enjoyed playing together, and it was wonderful to see Noah learn how to be gentle, patient, and caring with younger children through their interactions. One of the things I appreciated most about Makayla was how comfortable she made me feel. She has a very sweet personality, and over time she felt more like a friend or younger sister than just a sitter. We built a great bond, and once I got to know her, I felt completely safe and confident leaving Noah in her care. I highly recommend Makayla to any family looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable caregiver. She has been a wonderful influence on my son, and we are very grateful for the care and kindness she showed our family. ❤️

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!
