Alexandra
Hi! My name is Alex, and I’ve always had a natural caregiving role as the oldest sibling in my family. From a young age, I helped raise my younger siblings — cooking meals, helping with homework, changing diapers, getting them ready for school, and picking them up after school. Being the oldest taught me responsibility, patience, and how to create a safe and supportive environment for kids of different ages. In addition to caring for my siblings, I’ve taken on babysitting jobs for families with multiple children. I’ve cared for three kids at a time, keeping them entertained with movies, games, and activities, as well as preparing snacks and making sure they felt comfortable and supervised. I’m used to managing a few hours at a time and making sure everything runs smoothly. I’ve also done house-sitting, where I maintained the home, cleaned, and cared for pets, including feeding and walking dogs. I’m dependable, calm, and organized, and I take pride in being someone families can trust with their home and their children

Alexis
I am currently in my 7th year of teaching— having taught middle school for 6 years, and now teaching high school English. I have been babysitting since high school and absolutely love children. Having moved to San Diego in July, I am looking for families to babysit for when needed.

Molly
Hi! My name is Molly, and I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old. I grew up as a highly competitive gymnast and have also been coaching recreational gymnastics for children since I was 16. I am currently a freshman at SDSU studying Business Marketing, and I moved to San Diego from Boston in August. I am happy, positive, and love spending time with children while planning fun, engaging activities for them. When I am with kids I love to play games, do arts and crafts, help with homework and overall make sure they are having a great time. I have a very flexible schedule and will always prioritize your family’s needs. I’m excited for the opportunity to meet you and your kids!

Vixuuni
Hello! My name is Vixuuni, but feel free to call me Nini! I'm 25 years old and have experienced taking care of children for about 9 years now. My childcare career journey started from babysitting, transitioned into in-home caregiving, and finally led to working as an aide in elementary schools. Through those opportunities, I've been responsible for a range of children with different personalities and needs. I am AHA BLS certified (CPR and AED) and have past experience supervising children with moderate to severe disabilities. Thank you for checking out my profile, I hope to work with your family!

Maddy
I’m friendly and reliable and would primarily like to work with babies and toddlers. I have limited experience looking after toddlers with other people around, that’s why I put “none” for professional experience. I am low energy, and would love crafts, reading and supervising them while they play.

Deborah
Hi there! My name is Tosin. I have a solid background in childcare that started back in high school, where I did a lot of babysitting. Over the years, I’ve also worked with kids in various settings like Vacation Bible School (VBS) and assisting with children’s church on Sundays. Most recently, I’ve worked as a teaching assistant for children ranging from 3rd through 8th grade. I love working with kids of all ages and I’m excited to bring that experience to the table! In my free time I love reading, playing guitar, crocheting, hiking, coding, and many other hobbies😆
