Booked by 14 families in Lemon Grove, 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.

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.

Hi I’m Evalina I offer childcare, Senior care, Pet care as well as house sitting and occasional cleaning if needed. I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 15 so about 10 years. From infants to teenagers. I was valedictorian in high school so I don’t mind tutoring or helping with homework. I’ve watched 8 kids at once so I’m fine with big families. Watched twins newborns so always ready to jump in and help. I have no pet allergies so If you have animals thats fine I have experience with lots of breeds of dogs and even cats as well as many different reptiles. At the moment I do not have a car but I’m always early as you can check from previous reviews there will be no problem with me being reliable and on time.

"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."
