Booked by 1 family in La Jolla, CA

Hi! My name is Joanna but I go by Jo. I am currently in grad school for wildlife conservation. Most of my classes are online so my schedule is flexible and I can usually take on last minute requests. I have a lot of experience in pet care and some experience as a nanny. I'd also be happy to take on any household errands or chores.

“Top-notch care for my 3YO golden. Will definitely leverage Jo again for my pet-sitting needs!”

Andrea $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Andrea. I’m currently finishing my doctorate in Child Psychology at Stanford, where I’ve spent the past several years providing therapy and neuropsychological assessments to children and adolescents. I’ll be in San Diego until the summer while I wait to match for my clinical internship, so I’m looking for part-time babysitting. Most of my graduate-school work has been with children and teens with medical and neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism, oncology patients, and pediatric epilepsy, so I’m very comfortable supporting kids with a wide range of needs. I also previously worked in a preschool in Spain with toddlers with neurodevelopmental disabilities, and I babysat throughout high school. I’m warm, reliable, and genuinely love working with kids.

"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."
