Booked by 49 families in El Cajon, CA

Hi! My name is Mariagracia, but I go by MG. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish. Recently graduated from San Francisco State University with a major in Environmental Studies. I’ve always loved caring for kids—whether they were cousins, family friends, or neighbors. I’ve worked with children of all ages, from 2 months to 12 years old, and I’m comfortable caring for up to 3 or 4 kids at a time. I’m CPR, AED, and First Aid certified. Safety is always my top priority when working with kids. I can help with homework, school pick-ups, meal/snack prep, daily walks, playdates, swimming, and keeping kids engaged and entertained. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping and tidying up play areas. On top of that, I’ve house sat for multiple families over the years and have experience caring for both dogs and cats—so if you have pets, that’s a big plus for me! I bring a calm, caring, and responsible energy to every family I work with and always aim to create a safe and fun environment for kids to thrive in.

Hello, my name is Alanna. I have many hats, but being a mommy is my favorite one. I am CPR Certified for all ages from infants up, and pregnant women. I have taken a child development class, and did learn a lot of helpful information to understand my kids better and just kids in general. I have been caring for kids for over 20 years now, and have 4 kids of my own, that are 15, 11, 9, and 5. I currently work with foster youth (from ages birth until 18) as my full time job. Ive been doing it for over 3 years, and I love it! I’ve also worked with seniors in the past. So I've had a lot of experience with all ages and many different backgrounds and personalities. I am willing to do some light housework, cooking, and send text/ picture updates while you are away. Weekends and week days depending the time work best for me. I can also do drop in care at my home anytime if you’re comfortable with that. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! *I’m allergic to cats, and cannot accept a job if there are cats.I apologize for any inconvenience.*

“Alanna is great. She helped us out last min when a sitter bailed hours before a shift. She was great with our kids and left our place cleaner than when we left. 100 recommend! And will be using again! ”

My name is Jiranan, but I go by Nadia because it’s easier to say. I currently work as a caregiver and am looking for a side job working with children to gain more experience. I’m a responsible and easygoing high school graduate who enjoys working with kids and helping others. I have about 3 years of volunteer experience teaching and assisting children, along with some hands-on caregiving experience, including working with special needs individuals. I’m fluent in Thai and Lao, and I’m known for being patient, dependable, and open-minded. I like getting to know each child’s personality and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I’m always willing to learn and grow while doing my best in everything I do.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
