Oveline $10 per hour for 1 child

I am a qualified, dedicated, and naturally caring individual with a strong background in childcare, pet care, and household management. Over the years, I have developed not only practical experience but also a wide range of personal talents and professional traits that allow me to succeed as a caregiver. I believe that being a great caregiver requires more than simply watching over children or pets—it requires patience, attentiveness, organizational skills, creativity, and a genuine love for helping families thrive in their daily lives. In the following description, I will highlight in detail my qualifications, talents, and traits that make me an outstanding caregiver, with an emphasis on my experience with children, pets, and housekeeping. Qualifications in Childcare I have hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. This includes feeding, diaper changes, nap time routines, helping with homework, engaging in play, and offering emotional support. I understand the importance of creating a safe, structured environment where children feel both secure and inspired. I am familiar with child development milestones and adapt my caregiving style to each child’s age and personality. For example, with younger children, I focus on patience, playful learning, and nurturing, while with older children, I combine guidance with encouragement for independence. My qualifications extend to tutoring basic reading, math, and creative arts, as well as promoting positive behavior through consistent routines and gentle discipline. Qualifications in Pet Care I am also skilled in caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I can provide walking, feeding, grooming, playtime, and companionship. My natural love for animals allows me to connect with them quickly, and I always make their safety and comfort a priority. I understand the responsibility of following feeding schedules, administering medications when necessary, and keeping pets active through exercise and play. Families who trust me with their pets know that they will be treated with kindness, respect, and affection. Qualifications in Housekeeping In addition to childcare and pet care, I bring strong housekeeping and organizational skills that help families manage their homes more effectively. I have experience with general household cleaning such as vacuuming, dusting, mopping, laundry, and sanitizing kitchens and bathrooms.

Chloe $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Chloe and I am a third year student at San Diego State University! I am a Elementary Education major and have completed multiple hours of volunteering/observing in classrooms here in San Diego. I enjoy being around kids and am excited to make teaching my future! I was a babysitter for two-four children ages ranging from 3-7 years old when I was in high school and grew up with two younger sisters where I learned a lot about how to take care of children! I enjoy playing, doing crafts, cooking/baking, reading, and much more things with kids. Since I am learning how to become a teacher I have experience in teaching math, reading, and science so I can help with homework needs. I love dogs so much and I have a chocolate lab at home so am okay with taking care of large dogs as well as smaller dogs. I have experience in walking, playing with, and feeding dogs and shedding doesn't bother me. I would like to use my experience in baby-sitting to better my future as a teacher and would enjoy spending time with children of all ages!

"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."
