Booked by 30 families in La Jolla, CA

Hello! My name is Kinga, and I’m an experienced and dependable babysitter based in La Jolla, San Diego. I’ve spent the last eleven years caring for children of all ages-from infants to elementary school-and I truly love what I do. Along with my nannying background, I’ve also tutored kindergarten through second grade, which has given me a strong foundation in early learning and communication. I have a genuine passion for supporting children with special needs. For the past three years, I’ve worked closely with a 23-year-old with Phelan-McDermid Syndrome, serving as his eyes and ears and assisting with daily living, communication, and safety. This experience has taught me patience, creativity, and how to build trust with individuals who need a little extra support. It’s also a big part of why I’m currently studying social work-I’m committed to making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Families describe me as calm, caring, and intuitive. I enjoy spending time outdoors, crafting, and finding ways to keep kids engaged. I’m reliable, communicative, and focused on creating a safe and positive environment for every child I work with. I am up to date with my vaccines and happy to provide references. I look forward to hearing from you!

Ada $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Ada, and I would love to work with your family! I have extensive experience working with children -- I spent the last two years working in pediatric behavioral health, on a residential psychiatric unit for children ages 4-12. From this experience, I am very well trained in caring for every type of child, including children with autism, behavioral outbursts, and other challenges. This job, along with my bachelor's degree in Behavioral Neuroscience, gave me a deep understanding of child development and how to properly support a child of any age. I am here to provide structure for your kids while still having a great time! :) Although I have less professional experience with infants, I have babysat several infants over the course of the past 10 years, and am happy to provide references! I am Basic Life Support certified (including CPR, AED, etc.) and have cared for children with seizure disorders, severe allergies, and more. If you are looking for other household assistance (cleaning, laundry, etc.) please let me know! I am happy to help out wherever I can.

Booked by 2 families in La Jolla, CA

Hi! My name is Kate, and I’m a Registered Nurse with over five years of nannying experience caring for children from early toddlerhood through age 10 and older. In addition to childcare, I have worked as a nurse in both a skilled nursing facility (SNF) and a hospital setting, where I’ve developed strong clinical skills, compassion, and the ability to remain calm and confident in any situation. My medical background gives families added peace of mind, knowing their children are in safe, capable hands. I genuinely enjoy building meaningful relationships with children and creating a fun, positive, and nurturing environment where they feel supported and encouraged to learn and grow. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, engaging in arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, reading stories, or maintaining bedtime routines, I strive to make each day enjoyable while prioritizing safety and kindness. I am dependable, patient, organized, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation, and pet care if needed. My goal is to provide families with reliable, loving care and to be someone both parents and children can trust.

Hi families! My name is Allena and I’m 22 years old attending UCSD. I have been nannying and babysitting on and off for about 7 years now.

"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."
