My name is Karina Jimenez. I am a student at Miracosta College with an AA in Child Development. I love seeing children grow and be able to provide fun activities and watch them learn in their own way. I am very patient with children and families to make sure everyone gets their needs met.

I have been active on Sittercity for some time and it has allowed me to connect with many wonderful families with different dynamics and needs! Childcare has always been a passion of mine and because of that I aspire to be an elementary school teacher in the future! I’m currently in collage working towards an AA Degree in Child Development, just one small step in my educational journey! I have a few years of babysitting experience under my belt and I have previously worked at an after school program, where I would look after —mainly— kindergarteners and first graders. I am First Aid + CPR certified and I also have a drivers license and reliable car for travel. I am enthusiastic, calm, and want to help create a safe and supportive environment for the kids that I work with, that is also in tandem with the family’s needs!

Hello Parents, My name is Alejandra, and I am dedicated to providing high-quality care and support for children. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience working with children ranging from 5 months to 12 years old. I deeply enjoy my work and take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can thrive. I incorporate elements of the Reggio Emilia approach, fostering curiosity, creativity, and independence in every child. My vaccinations are fully up to date, and I approach my role with professionalism, compassion, and a genuine love for helping children grow and learn.

I have a passion to work and learn with children. I come from a big family and have always dove right into helping, understanding, play time, nap time and over all day to day todo’s for baby and mama. I worked at the YMCA Child Care I found myself excited for new challenges and little fun moments that laid ahead. I want to provide a safe, encouraging and fun environment for parents and children. I am always ready to jump in and give some extra hands while having fun and making a difference.

I recently completed my MA in Biblical Studies and hold a bachelor's degree in education. My studies in early childhood education began during my first five semesters of college, followed by four semesters focused on language learning. I have worked as a private ESL tutor for learners aged 2 to 51 over the past 11 years in the Philippines and Vietnam. Additionally, I taught at an American preschool for three years and spent one year in lower elementary education. I love babies and children and I find immense joy in supporting babies and children as they explore the world around them. And I am dedicated to helping them flourish in their development.

Hi! My name is Emma and I am a graduate of Arizona State University. I have been a nanny for the past six years, the past three of which I have been a family assistant. I have traveled with families as well as cared for the children for weeks at a time while parents are away on business or vacations. I have always adored children, I love seeing life from their perspective and fully immersing myself into their worlds, being creative and having fun. I have been a nanny for a wide range of ages, from 3 months to 10 years old. The most recent family I worked for had 3 children under the age of 4. My family assistant position duties included everything from caring for the children, maintaining the household, arranging travel plans, scheduling children’s appointments, and other various tasks. I pride myself on being organized and clean, so I am always happy to help around the house. I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you, Emma

Hello, families my name is Alyda and I am 27 years old. I am a very honest, energetic and a loving person. I have been caring for children for as long as I can remember. Most recently, I worked for a family in Fallbrook for four years, but the kiddos have gotten older! I love to cook and do not have any problems doing some light housekeeping (picking up after the children, doing dishes, occasional children’s laundry, etc.). I am excellent at making super fun (healthy) snacks for children! I believe kids should create memories outdoors! I speak English and Spanish fluently. I am non-smoker as well as have a clean driving record. I am also a dog owner so I would definitely not mind being around dogs. I’d be happy to provide references as well as meet or chat on the phone. Looking forward to hearing from you and I wish you the best of luck with your search!

Experienced nanny and childcare provider with over 3 years of experience caring for children aged 4-11, including newborns. I currently work for the school district as a Special Education Assistant, supporting individual students and entire classrooms as needed. Previously, I worked as an after-school program coach, managing groups of 20+ children. My experience includes overnight care for newborns, creating engaging activities, and fostering a safe, nurturing environment. Parents and teachers trust me for my dedication, patience, and ability to adapt to various childcare needs.

Caring for children of various ages, personalities, intelligence levels, and health conditions has become a lifestyle for me over the years. Helping young people on a close up and personal basis has provided them with the care they need while providing me with a sense of purpose and intrinsic enjoyment. Helping to raise three children over a 16 year period yielded me many experiences and has equipped me with various skills to include: diapering, bathing, grooming, bottle feeding, cooking, serving meals, light housecleaning, laundry, shopping, lunch packing, scheduling the children's appointments and activities, assisting with homework, driving children to and from school, after school activities, to their doctor and dental appointments, sports activities, and social functions, etc. More detailed experience includes full infant care, potty training, nap and bedtime routines, dispensing medications as instructed by the parents, teaching bike riding, swimming, phonetic reading, playtime at the park and beach, singing songs together, picnics, play dates, instructing children in crafts (such as Easter egg dying), teaching budgeting for children with their allowances, how to write thank you letters, teaching pet care, and how to wrap gifts. Have homeschooled students through grades 1-12 with hands-on teaching as well as establishing a home school with the state of California and overseeing an independent high school study program. Experience prepping middle school and high school students for theater auditions, procuring musical instruments/lessons, and finding instructors for children to expand their skills in such things as surfing, voice training, Cotillion, table manners, dog training, drivers' education, etc. Have planned birthday parties and sleepovers. Attended parent/teacher conferences, volunteered as a teacher's aid, and have assisted with school projects. CPR/first aid certified for 30+ years. Have volunteered as an acting instructor, intern director, makeup artist, and costume procurer, and Crew Manager for children's theater. I especially love reading to children, art projects, and helping them learn to cook and bake the foods they love to eat! Relationship building is key. There is a balance between fun, instruction, and discipline. Sharing life’s experiences, feelings, and ideas builds friendships, as well as mutual trust and respect. And of course, an occasional great big belly laugh does everybody a world of good!
