Hello I’m a mother of 4 grown men. I raised my boys by myself but thrived for them to be strong, independent, hardworking, kind Christian men and those are strong morals that I have. For some reason I’m a magnet to kids lol which is amazing to me cause I love kids so I’ve acquired many many nieces and nephews. I go by Angel so I’m always “Auntie Angel” which I love. I love the outdoors, craft, art, music, animals, reading, movies, cooking, and anything adventurous so with that being said your child will definitely have an adventure with me everyday! Plus I’m strong believer in learning but I like the more creative ways to learn to make it fun and so you remember what you learn! I do have degree in computer programming (so I am smart :)), CNA (so I’ve taken care of elders with all their needs, which makes me very patient and compassionate), been server/GM at restaurant (so I’m responsible, clean, multi tasked, patient, prompt,loyal,trustworthy), and many other jobs. Also have CPR and first aid. Since I’m single and have no kids I’m free morning thru night. Call me anytime you want some adult time or need to run errands! I’m available and look forward to meeting your family!

“Wonderful!!”

I have nannied for over 7 years. I graduated from SDSU with a degree in liberal studies- for elementary education. Although I have not transitioned to a classroom I find nannying and caring to be an amazing way to fill my life and work! I have loved many families and lots of different configurations over my time! I’ve worked with multiple toddlers, special needs children, been hands on with elementary schoolers and I’ve grown very comfortable in so many settings. With having such a diverse group of people to nanny for I’ve found myself cooking, cleaning, organizing and even more, I’m happy to help in so many ways!I love to bring a gentle, patient and supportive environment for any kiddo while still providing structure and routine with clear communication. CPR/First aid certified, up to date and also trust line registered

“Ace was awesome! Always on time and my little brother loved them! 10/10 recommend”

Hello! Thank you for taking some time to read my profile. My name is Jenessa and I love working with children and people of all ages I am an older sister of two twin brothers and cat mom. A little bit more about me - I am currently work at an elementary school in a T-K class. I have obtained my Bachelors in Early Childhood and Early intervention and music. I am BLS & CPR, CNA as well as RBT certified. A previous role I held was 2 years at HealthPro Pediatrics using behavioral therapy with children with various disorders including autism. In addition, I have loved being a Professional nanny since 2016. This has included working with multiple children newborn-14 with various needs and diagnoses, driving/pickups, bed time routines, meal prep, and other house managing jobs - including your furry friends! A reoccurring family I babysit for has a 8mth, 3, and 5 yr boys. One of my most rewarding positions was at a teen parent program for first time high school moms and their newborns. I have worked long term with quite a few families, have been a preschool teacher, have had many babysitting jobs, been a leader for preschoolers in camps, and have volunteered with special needs kids-adults (briefly with a special needs inclusive theater) to name a few! I am patient, hard-working, flexible, outgoing, trustworthy, and have great references. My hobbies are music, piano, going to the beach, and yoga! In my free time I really enjoy volunteering weekly at the Ronald McDonald House. I love bringing art projects and science projects for the kids I nanny for and I have a lot of different supplies, curriculum - I have picked up over the past few years. I have a clean driving record and I am comfortable picking up from school/taking your children to places like museums or the zoo. Most importantly I care about your child/rens safety, well-being, and happiness. I have loved helping children reach their developmental milestones and being a support system for kiddos who have needed it. The children and families I have worked for long term have become family to me! And I hope to become a new friend to you. My rates vary based on location, number of children, and job duties If this interests you at all feel free to send over a message! I am looking forward to learning more about your specific needs and working with you and your wonderful family, Jenessa raeofsunshinemusicco.com

“Jenessa, Ms. Jen, was an amazing caregiver to our kids. She arrived on time and had many activities planned with our children. Ms Jen asked questions to ensure she had the right knowledge and understanding of what and how our children would be cared for. She was very knowledgeable in how to communicate to our kids and provided engaging conversation. We had a wonderful experience with Ms Jen and would definitely look forward to her caregiving services in the future. ”

Hello! I'm Cassandra, a dedicated and caring babysitter with over 6 years of experience working with children of all ages from infants to young teens. I have extensive experience caring for infants and toddlers, ensuring they are safe, happy, and well-attended to. I’ve had the pleasure of working with both individual children and groups, creating safe, engaging, and fun environments whether it’s one-on-one care or managing multiple children at once. Additionally, I have a background in working with children with special needs, offering compassionate support tailored to each child’s individual needs. A significant portion of my experience comes from working with families involved in Al-Anon, a support group for those impacted by someone else's alcohol use. This has given me a deeper understanding of the unique dynamics and challenges these families face, allowing me to provide empathetic and supportive care with a focus on their emotional and practical needs. In addition to my babysitting experience, I’ve volunteered with the Best Day Foundation, teaching children how to surf and helping them learn to boogie board. This experience has further developed my ability to care for kids with disabilities in a meaningful way while encouraging their new skills and confidence. I take pride in creating a nurturing, fun, and educational environment while giving parents peace of mind. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, or providing the extra care some children need, I’m here to make sure your little ones are well cared for. I look forward to meeting your family and helping make your life a little easier!

“Cassandra is simply amazing! She is so sweet and down to earth. Our kids really enjoy having her over. She plays games with them and really engages in good conversations with them. We will definitely be having her back. ”

"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."
