Betty $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Betty. I bring a calm, warm, and dependable presence into the home and truly enjoy supporting children as they grow, learn, and feel secure. I believe in creating a loving environment where children feel safe and happy, while also maintaining gentle structure and consistency throughout the day. I hold three associate degrees in Child Development, Behavioral Science, and Communication, which give me a strong foundation in understanding how children develop and thrive. Along with my education, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, guiding them through important milestones with patience and encouragement. I have extensive experience in infant care, including feeding, diapering, and establishing healthy sleep routines. With the Austin family, I provided consistent, attentive care and helped create a peaceful, structured environment. Her parents often shared how much they appreciated my reliability, attentiveness, and the sense of trust and comfort I brought into their home. In addition to my professional experience, I teach religious education for preschool-aged children, which reflects my faith-centered values and my commitment to guiding children with kindness, respect, and purpose. I truly see each child as a gift and feel honored to support families by providing dependable, heartfelt care they can trust.

Hi, I'm Manuela! I'm a physical therapy graduate from Universidad Iberoamericana in Bogotá, Colombia, with 7 years of experience caring for children. I bring a health-focused, attentive approach to every child in my care. I'm CPR certified and trained in emergency response, so parents can feel at ease knowing their little ones are in safe hands. I specialize in infant and toddler care. I live in Carmel Valley and would love to connect with families in the area and nearby communities. I'm patient, responsible, and warm, and I love creating routines of play, learning, and comfort that help each child thrive. I'm also bilingual in Spanish and English.

“Manuela is wonderful, and we’ve been lucky to have her care for Cora on several occasions. She’s warm, caring, professional, and dependable, and we feel completely at ease leaving Cora in her care. She’s been such a help to our family, and I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy sitter.”

Booked by 1 family in Encinitas, CA

I began babysitting at 13 and have consistently worked with families over the years, caring for children from infancy through age 16. My experience includes caring for up to four children at a time, managing sibling dynamics, supervising conference and event childcare, and providing overnight nanny care while parents traveled. My faith is a central part of who I am and serves as my compass in how I care for others. It shapes my integrity, patience, and sense of responsibility, and guides me to treat every child with kindness, attentiveness, and respect. I believe children thrive in environments where they feel safe, valued, and genuinely cared for, and I strive to create that atmosphere in every home I serve.

"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."
