SAMARA $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I truly enjoy helping and caring for others. I come from a big family, so I’ve always been surrounded by kids and have plenty of hands on experience with little ones of all ages. Over the years, I’ve also helped care for relatives, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to provide support with kindness and respect and I bring strong communication skills, a dependable work ethic, and a natural ability to connect with people. Families and friends describe me as caring, reliable, and quick to learn new routines. Beyond childcare, I’m also comfortable assisting with seniors, pets, and household tasks like light cleaning, meal prep, or errands. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and supportive environment, whether that means keeping kids engaged with fun activities, making sure a pet feels loved, or helping a household run smoothly. I would love the opportunity to support your family and bring care, energy, and reliability to your home.

Caroline $25 per hour for 1 child

I started babysitting when I was a teenager for some extra money. Since then I have taken care of children on and off throughout my life. I was a nanny for two boys ages 1 and 3 until they were 4 and 6. I loved watching them grow up and being part of their journey, helping them navigate lives up and downs and teaching them the skills to do this. I have babysat infants from 6 months old, toddlers, kids and teenagers. I am extremely organized and good at multitasking which is a huge help when watching multiple children and juggling all that comes with that! I am very clean and have no problem helping with household chores while I helping with childcare. I am also a big animal lover-I volunteer at a animal rescue and ride horses as well. I have a reliable vehicle and have no problem putting a car seat in it to pick up little ones and take them to activities or back home. I would love to be a part of your families journey for even a day, please contact me for more information!

Booked by 65 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.

“Timely, great job with the kids, wore them out and cleaned around the house. Amazing sitter and would have again in a heartbeat!”

Hi! My name is Amanda. I have over 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I always strive to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and happy. I have experience with daily routines, including bottle feeding, introducing solids, meal preparation, nap schedules, bath time, and bedtime routines. I understand the importance of consistency and always do my best to follow each family’s preferences and parenting style. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going to parks, reading books, playing games, and planning age-appropriate activities that help children learn and grow while having fun. I am responsible, patient, reliable, and caring. I speak both English and Portuguese, and references are available upon request. Feel free to reach out if you think we might be a good fit!

“Amanda was great with our 9-month old! She was very attentive, caring and playful with him. She showed up on time, was very courteous and respectful of our family rules, and did more than what she was asked to do for our baby! She was very easy to talk to as well. We highly recommend her!”

"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."
