Hi Families! I’m an experienced childcare provider with 12+ years of experience caring for children from infants through the teen years. I’ve also been the primary caregiver for my younger brother since he was 7, giving me a deep understanding of patience, consistency, emotional support, and each child’s individual needs. I’m currently training as a Newborn Care Specialist and Birth & Postpartum Doula while completing my clinical hours toward certification. I especially enjoy supporting families through the newborn and postpartum stages, while also loving care for toddlers, school-age children, and siblings. I bring a calm, nurturing, and dependable presence into every home. I’m happy to help with play, meals, bedtime routines, homework, light tidying, and maintaining a child’s normal routine. I’m open to part-time roles as well as one-time and occasional childcare, including evenings and weekends. I’d love to support a family looking for someone caring, trustworthy, and dependable.

Experienced, Caring & Reliable Childcare Professional Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m a San Diego-based childcare professional with 15+ years of experience working with children of all ages and backgrounds. I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable being themselves while learning, growing, and having fun. With a medical and trauma-informed background, I’m equipped to support a variety of needs and personalities with patience, compassion, and confidence. I can provide more than just supervision; I love helping with homework and academics, creative activities, outdoor play, mindfulness, and age-appropriate yoga and movement. I’m also CPR & First Aid certified, have a clean and safe driving record, and hold two degrees. Families can count on me to be responsible, communicative, attentive, and dependable. Whether you need occasional date-night care, regular childcare, school transportation, homework help, or an extra set of hands during a busy week, I’m happy to help! I also offer dog-care services, so I can help care for your four-legged family members, too. 🐾 I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide the kind of care that gives parents peace of mind while their children are in my care.

“Payton was so great with our boys. She took them to the playground, fed them dinner and got them off to bed. Both boys said they liked her and would want her to watch them again. Would definitely hire her again! ”

Hello :) I am a mother of two teenage daughters. I have a degree in Elementary Education/Child Development and over 10 years experience as both a Preschool Teacher and Nanny/Caregiver. I have worked with children of all ages and am passionate about fostering each child’s interests and development through thoughtful and loving care. I also enjoy supporting families with additional needs so am happy to help with pets, light housekeeping, organization, errands, etc. In addition, I am currently a Care Driver for HopSkipDrive (a ride-share service for school children) so am qualified and comfortable with driving your children to/from activities. I am patient, kind, respectful, reliable and fun! I consider it a privilege to be welcomed into your family and look forward to meeting you all!

“Our toddler warmed up to Holly faster than I expected and was excited to play and read with her the entire time. Holly also had excellent communication about the booking and was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!”

I have experience working at an after school care program caring for TK-5th graders. I facilitated indoor and outdoor activities, coordinated snack time, monitored and assisted with homework and ensured safe, organized pick ups/drop offs. I also worked with teens that had special needs as a teacher’s assistant while in school. After high school, I cared for two kids (ages 2 and 4) for almost a year in their home while working towards my degree in child development. After that, I started caring for an 11 month old in her home. I would read to her, take her outside or to the park, feed her, and more. After she started school, I started watching a 9 month old and a 3 year old in their home, very similar to my other jobs. I also have younger siblings that range from 9-1 years old and I’ve taken care of each of them while my parents were working.

“Athena was on time and very sweet! Our boys loved her. She kept them safe and we would definitely 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."
