Kendall 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in La Jolla, CA

Hi, my name is Kendall and I’m a second year at UCSD! I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. My brother was born when I was 10 and our parents were/are often gone (nurse and firefighter), so I’ve helped raise him since he was born- getting him ready and driving him to and from school, activities, putting him to sleep, etc. I’ve been babysitting for other families since I was 13, including babies around 1 year old. This past summer I nannied a 12 month old and 16 month old, which consisted of feeding/changing, driving to daycare, helping around the house and cleaning pump parts. I’ve taught swim lessons at UC Berkeley for the past 4 summers, as well as private lessons, for toddlers and kids of many ages, and am first aid and CPR certified :) I’m also a HUGE animal lover: I raised my own baby dog since 7 weeks and she’s now 5 and a half and the light of my life. I’ve pet-sat many dogs, cats, and even birds. I’ve had my license since May of 2022 and have a reliable car that I can use to drive kids and fur babies if helpful. I’m happy to provide references for any of these services, and look forward to meeting you and your little ones! 🩵

“Kendall came to the rescue when I was planning a trip to San Diego and needed a sitter for my 4 month old. She responded promptly to my message on the app and we were able to schedule a phone interview quickly. She is CPR certified! And arrived exactly on time. The day of the job I spent about 10 minutes making sure my fussy baby wouldn’t stress out Kendall. Not at all. Kendall was calm and in control of the situation, took baby for a baby wearing walk and I was able to leave for my event confident that she would be a competent caretaker. Before the gig we went over qualifications and worst case scenarios, and she had great responses. I asked Kendall to send me pictures while she watched my baby and she did. 10/10 I know who to hire next time I’m in San Diego with my child! Kendall is so sweet she is the best.”

Toni $28 per hour for 1 child

I've always been passionate about fostering children's growth and development. As the oldest of four siblings, I grew up taking care of my three younger siblings, which gave me invaluable hands-on experience in childcare. I've recently graduated at UC San Diego, majoring in both Microbiology and Chinese Studies. Grew up speaking Spanish and currently studying Russian. My background has helped me develop patience, adaptability, and strong communication skills-qualities that are essential in childcare. I have one year of professional experience caring for children and am comfortable with all ages, from infants to preteens. I enjoy engaging kids in activities such as outdoor sports, board games, and educational games, always looking for new and exciting ways to help them learn and grow. I have a car, am a non-smoker, and am comfortable with pets. I follow the parents lead when enforcing household rules and communicate effectively about their child's day. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can thrive. I currently work for 3 families at the moment all under the age of 2, during the daytime on weekdays! Looking to fill in more of my hours, if you need to see my reviews please let me know and I will send those out! Also! Pricing is definitely a negotiable for me :D

"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."
