Booked by 1 family in El Cajon, CA

Hello - My name is Karyn. I have several years of cargiving experience, including; child and nanny care from ages 1 to 13 years old, live in elder care, and pet sitting/dog walking. I feel that work in caring for others where support is needed is one of the most rewarding works that we can do. I also feel that as adults one of the most important things we can do is to help support and shape children into the adults they will become; practicing values, such as honesty and kindness, while honoring the childs path of becoming. I am a nature lover and I will be very happy to play with your children outdoors, sit outside and enjoy a breeze together, or take your furry companion on a walk. I also enjoy to play games, read books, and I love to cook, so I am happy to provide healthy meals according to dietary needs and requests. Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you for considering me for your cargiving position.

Alycia $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Alycia, a San Diego native and junior at San Diego State University studying English with the goal of becoming a teacher. I’ve always loved working with kids, and I have experience working with children from TK through 8th grade through youth programs and childcare. Beyond my paid experience, I’ve also volunteered alongside teachers at Coronado Middle School and Coronado Village Elementary, which gave me experience supporting children in a classroom setting. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and I’m someone who is patient, dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoys getting to know each child. I love creating a fun, comfortable environment where kids can be themselves while still having structure and feeling cared for. As a future teacher, working with children is something I truly care about—not just a job! 😁

Taydom $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Taydom. I’m 19 years old and currently a college student pursuing a degree in Child Development. I enjoy hiking, practicing yoga, and creating things from scratch using natural ingredients not just food, but a variety of homemade items that support a healthier, more intentional lifestyle. I currently work as a live-in nanny for a family with three children, including an infant and two school aged kids. My responsibilities include full-time infant care, school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework assistance, and general household maintenance such as dishes, laundry, and tidying. My previous experience includes care giving for seniors with cognitive impairments, including Alzheimer's and dementia. I’ve also worked at a forest school with children ranging from infancy to age six, where we spent all of our time outdoors exploring nature. I was responsible for setting up activities and creating crafts using natural materials we found during our time outside. Additionally, I’ve nannied for a family with two toddlers just 18 months apart, giving me valuable experience in managing multiple young children with different developmental needs.

"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."
