Booked by 68 families in La Jolla, CA

I currently live in north county Del Mar . Looking for full time / part time work / occasional sitting. Started my childcare career in 2016 at a barre studio called Daily Method that provided daycare while the moms would workout. I am very responsible and have a lot of experience and patience with kids and will also show them a lot of love and give them my full undivided attention. My favorite thing about babysitting is how unfiltered and carefree children can be 😂. I know how important children are and I can be trusted with their safety. I’m also a very clean person aswell and like to keep the common areas tidy and clean as we go. I’ve worked for a ton of families over the past several years and can provide more references if needed when it comes to transferring and driving children in my car or just overall experience with me sitting or nannying. I’ve done overnights, can stay past midnight, and i’m very flexible towards everyone’s schedule! Additional services I can provide are animal care, transportation, light house-work (cleaning up anything related to the children such as toys food plates ect.). I’m also open to doing laundry, dishes, and taking out the trash for an additional charge. Some other add on services could be restocking any groceries, household items, or supplies needed for the home, and general organizing.

“Stephanie did a great job with our dogs (including a very young puppy) on a long weekend. She was very responsive and kept us up to date on how things went throughout. Would definitely use her again on future trips.”

I have been working at a pre school for 9 months. I worked mostly with infants and toddlers. I loved my job but I needed a more flexible schedule since I am going to school. I am a future dental student and I have some degree of medical knowledge. I hold a certificate in CPR for both infants and adults as well as taken some child development courses. I also have experience with child on the autism spectrum and developmental problems. I have a BA in psychological sciences. I am also willing to take care of animal dogs and cats. Sorry no exotic animals! I have an old dog he’s 15 with many medical issues so I believe have experience caring for animals Fun fact I helped my cousin’ s dog give birth and pulled out three healthy puppies! Look forward to hearing from you! Thank you

Hi, I'm Manuela! I'm a physical therapy graduate from Universidad Iberoamericana in Bogotá, Colombia, with 7 years of experience caring for children. I bring a health-focused, attentive approach to every child in my care. I'm CPR certified and trained in emergency response, so parents can feel at ease knowing their little ones are in safe hands. I specialize in infant and toddler care. I live in Carmel Valley and would love to connect with families in the area and nearby communities. I'm patient, responsible, and warm, and I love creating routines of play, learning, and comfort that help each child thrive. I'm also bilingual in Spanish and English.

“Manuela is wonderful, and we’ve been lucky to have her care for Cora on several occasions. She’s warm, caring, professional, and dependable, and we feel completely at ease leaving Cora in her care. She’s been such a help to our family, and I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy sitter.”

"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."
