Abbie $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! With over ten years of childcare experience and a strong background in both educational planning and household management, I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for your child/children while supporting the smooth operation of your home. Over the past decade, I have cared for children in ages ranging from birth to 14 years, adapting to each child's unique developmental needs. I enjoy creating engaging lesson plans that combine fun with learning, helping children grown academically and socially. My approach blends creativity with structure, ensuring children feel both supported and stimulated in their daily activities. In addition to childcare, I am highly organised and skilled in managing household responsibilities. From light meal preparation and housekeeping to coordinating routines and maintaining a tidy home, I take pride in creating an enviroment where both children and parents can thrive. My goal is always to provide families with peace of mind, knowing their children are in capable and caring hands. As a 27-year-old professional, I bring maturity, reliability, and energy to the role. I am flexible, trustworthy, and committed to fostering a safe, positive, and enriching environment for children. I would love the opportunity to discuss how my experience and skills align with your family's needs.

Jacqueline $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Jacqueline, a warm, reliable, and professional nanny with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. I currently care for an 8-year-old boy about 10 hours a week and am looking to connect with more families. In the past, I’ve supported a busy household with four children (ages 2–11), helping with after-school care, bedtime routines, and date nights. I’ve also traveled with families and am comfortable with overnights. I have my own transportation and love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for kids. Excellent references available!

Evan $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Evan! I recently completed my clinical doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine and am currently studying for my board exams. While I work on getting licensed, I'm offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household support. I've been babysitting since high school and have cared for everyone from infants to teens. I also spent four years as an in-home caregiver for adults and teens with physical and developmental disabilities. I am comfortable caring for elders as well. I'm a calm, patient, and reliable person. I'm also creative and love doing arts and crafts with kids, cooking nourishing meals, and tidying and organizing spaces. I have a car which allows me to run occasional errands as well as school pick ups / drop offs. I'm certified in pediatric and adult CPR/First Aid, and my clinical background gives me a strong foundation in health, safety, and holistic wellness for all ages. I'm a huge animal lover and have lots of experience caring for dogs as well as smaller pets like birds, lizards, and fish. I love caregiving because it feels good to help others in a way that feels real, direct, and tangible. I especially enjoy being around younger kids. I find their sense of wonder, play, and curiosity so inspiring.

Robin $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Robin! I have extensive experience in childcare; I’ve worked as a swim instructor for the YMCA, an overnight camp counselor for Girl Scouts of San Diego, and I have been volunteering at Sandburg Elementary School as an Assistant Teacher for coming up on 3 years now. I have worked with a wide age range of children as young as 6 months and as old as 17, and am comfortable with all ages. I love working with kids and find that kids love working with me! I grew up with dogs all my life, so I am very experienced with caring for dogs, and I have a deep love and appreciation for all animals so I am very open to caring for all pets. I am a great cook and a better baker; I have been told to open up a restaurant or bakery many times and am very comfortable with meal prepping if needed. I live by the principle that you should always leave a place better than how you found it, and I have no problem tidying up around the house if needed. I do not have experience caring for seniors but I am a fast learner and have no problem doing so. I love to dance, play games, read, go on long walks and adventures, and I am a big believer in keeping the magic of a child’s childhood and would love to organize a craft or safe adventure (like an in-house scavenger hunt!) to help foster their imagination and keep their brains active. Ultimately, I am a sponge and I will adjust my care and approach according to whatever your needs for your child are, and whatever parenting style you enforce at home so that I can be of help however you need! CPR, First Aid, and BLS Certified. Non-smoker

"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."
