Booked by 5 families in La Jolla, CA

Hi! My name is Morgan, and I have a BA in Education and minor in Psychology. I’m currently in graduate school pursuing my Masters in School Counseling. I'm offering child care, pet care, and household services. I've babysat a variety of kids and I've loved every moment. My responsibilities as a caregiver have included school pick up/drop off, driving to extracurricular activities, making snacks/meals/bottles, engaging in developmentally appropriate activities, putting to sleep/naps, changing diapers, homework help, and basic crafts. I am musically inclined, a great game creator and player, and very patient. I am also super welcoming to families with fur babies! I have 7 of my own and they're the best to be around. I am also available to work for household services such as cooking, house sitting, or running errands. p.s. willing to negotiate pricing depending on age of children and other factors :)

alejandra $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Alejandra, and I’m a loving and energetic mom of a 7‑year‑old boy with more than 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages. My favorite way to teach, connect, and support kids is through play, creativity, and sports. I truly believe children learn best when they feel safe, engaged, and having fun. I’m originally from Colombia and now living in San Diego. I’m bilingual (English–Spanish), patient, responsible, and very active. I enjoy organizing games, outdoor activities, reading time, and hands‑on learning moments. I also love cooking, and I’m happy to prepare meals or snacks. I can help with light cleaning, homework, and daily routines.

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in La Jolla, CA

Hi! My name is Allie and I graduated from SDSU in May and got my degree in sociology. I absolutely love working with kids and have had experience with all ages starting at around 4 months all the way up to middle school. I have my own form of transportation and love pets! I am very interested in going back to school to get my Masters in Social Work so in the mean time I am looking to use my creativity and energy to help be a fun nanny for families!

“Allie was great! She helped us out with last-minute babysitting for our 2-year-old when we were in a bind. She was communicative, friendly, engaging, and inspired trust. She was great with my daughter. After she left, my toddler, unprompted, told me, "I had fun with Allie." I'd recommend her and would hire her again!”

Emily $23 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting\nannying for years and I absolutely love it. I recently graduated from nursing school, and I expect it will be quite some time before I find a job (most positions start in the spring), so I am looking to nanny full-time until then! I am CPR certified and I have my own car if you are in need of transportation assistance. I have experience with children of all ages and I am comfortable caring for any age group.

"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."
