Booked by 6 families in El Cajon, CA

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.

Booked by 1 family in El Cajon, CA

Hi! My name is Maliyah Domingo! I am an 18-year-old college student at Grossmont College. As the oldest of three siblings, I’ve spent much of my life helping care for younger children and understand the importance of patience, communication, and consistency. Caregiving has always been a passion of mine that has motivated me to go to school for nursing. Services that I offer include infant care, toddler care, senior care, care for multiple children, after-school care, homework help, meal and snack preparation, bedtime routines, diaper changing, housekeeping, arts and crafts, outdoor activities and play, sick childcare, and a drivers license for transportation. I have taken care of all ages whether that’s for family, friends, or at the nursery of the church I attend. I also have been taking care of my great aunt with Parkinson’s for almost a year now. I help take care of her at least once a week as well as take care of the infants at my church. During my time at Helix Charter High School, I have earned my Medical Assistant Certification, which gave me valuable healthcare knowledge and experience working responsibly with others. I am also CPR certified so you can feel confident knowing your children will be cared for by someone who is attentive, dependable, and committed to their safety and well-being. I’m available everyday except for Monday and Wednesday from eight am to twelve thirty pm because of school. I strive to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow.

“Maliyah was great and my daughters loved spending time with her”

"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."
