Hello! My name is Ann, I'm a kind, and caring person and have a deep love of taking care of children. I have 5 younger siblings of my own (all girls) oldest being 7 and youngest being 3 months old, so I have good experience between those ranges! I’ve been taking care of children other than my sisters since I was 12 years old. I'm 18 years old and currently enrolled in Community College, but I have lots of free time! Im CPR and AED certified, as well as having my own form of transportation, and having car/booster seats available if needed. I love animals and enjoy going out on walks as well as teaching, coloring, drawing and having lots of dance parties!! I can help around the household, cooking, cleaning, as well as laundry and walking your pets if needed.

Vanessa $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Vanessa and I’m a caring, patient, and reliable caregiver with experience working with children of all ages. I currently serve as a kids’ ministry leader at my church, where I help support and teach young children in a safe, positive, and structured environment. I’ve also been a regular babysitter for several families over the years, helping with date nights, after-school care, and last-minute needs. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with routines, meals, homework help, crafts, bedtime, and keeping kids entertained without screens. Families describe me as gentle, responsible, and easy for kids to connect with. I’m also great with pets and can help with light cleaning while I’m here. My priority is always to make sure your children feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I’d love to support your family whenever you need an extra set of hands!

Betsy $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Betsy, and I’m a fully qualified preschool teacher and experienced caregiver based in San Diego. I’ve been working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers for over a year now, starting just 3 days after high school graduation. My love for childcare started with my high school daycare internship and now i am a lead teacher in a Reggio-inspired, play-based program, along with being part-time babysitter/nanny to multiple families via my babysitting website. I love helping children learn through creativity, sensory play, outdoor exploration, and encouraging independence. I’ve babysat and worked with a wide range of ages, including infants through school-aged kids, and I’m comfortable supporting routines, potty training, emotional regulation, and gentle redirection. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, Mandated Reporter trained, and have completed 12+ ECE units. Families describe me as nurturing, patient, and fun — and I’m always excited to bring activities, structure, and warmth into your child’s day. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

"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."
