Booked by 1 family in La Jolla, CA

I helped babysit my siblings growing up. I also watched over my cousins and children of relatives from time to time since I was a teenager. I recently have taken care of disabled siblings and have taken care of old people with illnesses. I find taking care of children rewarding and easy. They don’t require too much they just have different personalities that you need to adapt to.

“Outstanding sitter for our baby boy!”

Welcome to your child's home away from home! With over 10 years of childcare experience, I provide high-quality, home-based care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. My goal is to give parents complete peace of mind while creating a place where children feel comfortable, valued, and excited to spend their day. My home is located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood within walking distance of several parks, the public library, kid-friendly restaurants and shopping, and a skate park, giving children plenty of opportunities for outdoor play, exploration, and age-appropriate activities. Whether we're reading books, creating crafts, playing outside, or enjoying home-cooked meals together, every day is designed to be active, enriching, and fun. I specialize in flexible care, including overnights, weekends, and last-minute bookings. My home is smoke-free, alcohol-free, clean, and child-friendly, and I strive to provide the consistency and warmth of a true "home away from home." Parents receive regular updates, photos, and communication throughout the day so they can feel confident and connected while their children are in my care. I believe every family deserves dependable, compassionate childcare built on trust, communication, and genuine care.

“Zeporia's expertise with not just children but also ensuring a house feels like a home is impeccable. The care and attention to our baby (6 mos; 4; 9); the dedication to the home; and the honestly the vibe and feeling that someone genuinely cares for our child and home the way they care for theirs is amazing. Yes, I've been to her home, beautifully cared for and maintained so I have options based on where me and the husband are when we need a sitter. More importantly, my children adore her and love her. She's also very intelligent and patient with my children. I'd recommend her...as long as it's not on the days we need her lol”

Sophia $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My background is primarily in childcare, with most of my experience caring for babies from 3 to 16 months old. I’ve also worked with toddlers and young kids and truly enjoy being part of their daily routines and growth. I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and have gained a wide range of hands-on experience along the way. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, grocery runs, preparing meals, crafts and creative play, tutoring, and even helping with activities like dance lessons. I’m comfortable caring for children without relying on screens and understand the energy, patience, and engagement that requires. I genuinely enjoy staying present, active, and attentive with the kids I’m caring for. Personality-wise, I’m bubbly, outgoing, and warm, while still being responsible and reliable. I truly care about the children I work with and love learning their routines, personalities, and the little things that make them feel happy and comfortable. I’m also a strong multitasker, comfortable caring for pets, and happy to assist with household tasks for an agreed-upon additional fee. My goal is always to support families in a way that feels trustworthy, positive, and stress-relieving.

"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."
