Hi my name is Ada! I am an undergraduate student at UCLA studying psychology. I am super passionate about working with children, I have been babysitting for over 10 years with children of all different age ranges. With a lifetime immersed in a large Italianfamily dynamic, including growing up with a younger brother, younger cousins, and two nieces and three nephews, I bring a natural, deeply rooted intuition for childcare grounded in strong core Italian familial values. Over the last seven years, I have successfully babysat and nannied for 10+ families, expertly managing multi-child households with children varying in ages from 2 to 14.My dedication to children extends well beyond private care into community education and institutional settings. I completed over 100 volunteer hours at the Canal Child Care Center in the Bay Area, providing attentive care for low-income and underprivileged young children aged 3 to 4. In this role, I actively engaged children through play, reading, and English language instruction to support Spanish-speaking families. Additionally, I spent two years from 2019 to 2021 working directly with children at the Bay Area Discovery Museum, further sharpening my ability to facilitate enriching, developmentally appropriate activities for children and their families. Complementing my childcare expertise is a robust academic foundation. As an undergraduate psychology student at UCLA specializing in developmental and clinical psychology, I have the foundation necessary to provide a well rounded care taking experience with scientific knowledge. Furthermore, my 10-year background attending a Waldorf school and my professional experience as an elementary sewing teacher in 2020 enable me to offer rich creative engagement, including art, knitting, crocheting, sewing, and creative writing.Fluent in English and Italian, with high proficiency in Spanish, I am also uniquely equipped to provide comprehensive academic support, homework help, and tutoring. I am fully prepared to manage household logistics. I provide reliable transportation using my own Toyota RAV4, ensuring safe transit for school, activities, and errands. Comfortable with pets, light housekeeping, and flexible scheduling for both regular routines and occasional date nights, I am deeply passionate about fostering a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for every family I work with.

Hello all! My name is Caitlyn, I am currently attending San Diego State University while pursuing my bachelors degree in Communications. I little bit about me, I recently moved to San Diego about two years ago, since then I have absolutely fallen in love with the environment and the people it’s filled with. Outside of school, some hobbies I enjoy are going on hikes, going to the beach or spending quality time with friends or family. I am applying through Wyndys because I miss the opportunity to work with young creative minds. In the past I have worked with IHSS- In Home Support Services, in addition to coaching a Special Olympics team. I can ensure that if you hire me, your children are my number one priority.

Hello families. I have experience caring for children of all ages. I began babysitting at age of 14. I became a professional Nanny 25 years ago. I am a very dependable, professional, trustworthy, patient and a nurturing person. I studied Child and Adolescent Development and completed my Bachelors Degree. I have learned many valuable skills from the various families I have worked with. I strive to create an environment where children can explore while setting healthy boundaries. I am very creative and love reading, singing, trips to the library and playgrounds. I am very mindful of the different stages of development in infants and children. I find age appropriate activities for each of different stages. I am always ready for adventures with the children I care for. It is important to me to have good communication with families in order to achieve the goals parents have for their children. Safety is a high priority for me. This includes emotional safety as well. I am excited to start my journey with a new family. I come with many recommendations, which I can provide on meeting.
