Amanda 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hello all, I’m here looking for a part-time position, open to full time for the right fit . I have 4+ years experience as a childcare provider for kids all age, naturally empathetic and loving, responsible, fun and energetic. I have reliable transportation so being on time is not a problem. I hope we can connect soon :)

“Amanda has babysat my children and I highly recommend her. She is incredibly sweet, patient, caring, and attentive. My son is usually very attached to me and can take time to feel comfortable with other people, but he felt much more at ease with Amanda, which meant a lot to me. My daughter absolutely loved her and was so happy with her babysitter. Amanda arrived a few minutes early so she could ask about allergies, routines, and anything else she needed to know, and she also gave me enough time to say goodbye to the kids before my date night. She made them dinner, took great care of them, and made them feel safe and comfortable. When I came home, my daughter immediately told me that I should call Amanda again because she was so good with them. That says everything to me. I would absolutely trust Amanda with my children again and would recommend her to any family looking for someone kind, responsible, patient, and genuinely good with kids.”

Booked by 14 families in Lakeside, CA

Hi, I’m Gracie! I graduated from UCLA with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Applied Developmental Psychology (ADP). Through the ADP minor, I completed 26 units of Early Childhood Education (ECE) coursework that meet the requirements for the California Child Development Permit (Site Supervisor level). I’m now preparing to apply to a master’s program in Occupational Therapy. I currently support two families, and have experience caring for children from 3 months to 12 years old. I completed a nine-month internship at an early childhood education center working with toddlers (18-36 months) and have babysat school-aged children, volunteered at elementary schools for over eight years, and mentored high school students through the college application process. I love working with children and strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. I especially enjoy utilizing the outdoors and play-based activities to foster child-initiated learning and help children build confidence and independence. I’m patient, reliable, CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, TB tested, and comfortable supporting daily routines from school drop-offs to bedtime. I’d love the chance to support your family! References available upon request.

Booked by 49 families in Lakeside, CA

Hi! My name is Mariagracia, but I go by MG. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish. Recently graduated from San Francisco State University with a major in Environmental Studies. I’ve always loved caring for kids—whether they were cousins, family friends, or neighbors. I’ve worked with children of all ages, from 2 months to 12 years old, and I’m comfortable caring for up to 3 or 4 kids at a time. I’m CPR, AED, and First Aid certified. Safety is always my top priority when working with kids. I can help with homework, school pick-ups, meal/snack prep, daily walks, playdates, swimming, and keeping kids engaged and entertained. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping and tidying up play areas. On top of that, I’ve house sat for multiple families over the years and have experience caring for both dogs and cats—so if you have pets, that’s a big plus for me! I bring a calm, caring, and responsible energy to every family I work with and always aim to create a safe and fun environment for kids to thrive in.

"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."
