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.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family 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.

“She was was very sweet and kind with the kids. She was also very thorough with her questions about the kids routines and what to expect. ”

Booked by 3 families in La Jolla, CA

I am Viridiana, I currently graduated and obtain my Criminal Justice Bachelor’s degree. Also, I do have completed Child Development units, I am CPR/First aid certified, mandate report training and other trainings. I mean I work on a daily basis with children so I absolutely love and enjoy working with children. Working with children, teaching them, supervising them is a major responsibility but at the end of the day it’s very rewarding. Children are pure and innocent and they just say what they think they are also very fast learners and very smart.

“Viri was amazing with our son! She's very friendly and our son took to her immediately. She was always on time and would keep him occupied with activities throughout. She would also make sure that he was well fed at all times. I would highly recommend her to other parents”

"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."
