Maria Jose $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is María, and I’m originally from Arizona but now based in East Village, San Diego. I studied Arts, Media, and Entertainment at the University of Arizona, and I’ve been caring for children for several years, both in professional settings and with my own family. ✨ Experience: I worked at Strauss ECE Daycare in Tucson, AZ for 4–5 years, caring for children ranging from infants (3 months) to preschoolers (up to 5 years old). I also worked as a full-time nanny in Rancho Santa Fe for 2 years and absolutely loved the experience. It allowed me to build a close bond with the family and provide consistent, one-on-one care. As the oldest of three sisters, babysitting has always been a natural part of my life. ✨ Skills & Services: • Bilingual: fluent in Spanish & English • Infant + toddler experience • Light cooking & meal prep • Laundry & light cleaning • Pet-friendly (no allergies) ✨ A little about me: I’m patient, caring, and love helping children learn and grow in a safe, fun environment. My background in arts and media has also made me creative and resourceful in keeping kids engaged. Outside of childcare, I run a small jewelry business, which reflects my organization and dedication. 💲 My rate is $25 per hour, and I’m happy to discuss/adjust depending on your family’s needs. First Aid & CPR certified. I’d love the chance to support your family and provide safe, reliable care for your little ones!

Booked by 5 families in Lemon Grove, CA

My name is Karine, I’m 25 years old, and I’m from Brazil I’m a very friendly, organized, dedicated, and extroverted person — and I absolutely love pets! 🐶🐱 🗣️ Languages Portuguese (native) Spanish (fluent — I can teach Spanish during the day!) English (advanced) 📚 Courses & Certifications Introduction to Solid Foods First Aid Certificate Child Behavior Children's Neuroscience 🌎 My Experience I volunteered as a teacher in Mexico, working with socially vulnerable children. I also completed an exchange program in Orlando, where I lived with an American host family and studied English. I have strong references, first aid certification, and all vaccinations up to date. I don’t smoke, and I lead a very healthy, active lifestyle. 🌟 Additional Skills I’m very creative and love to inspire that in children too! Great with babies – especially when it comes to helping them fall asleep 💤 Happy to assist with light housekeeping and pet care (for an additional fee) I’m also a swimming instructor 🏊‍♀️ 📍I’m in Little Italy One important point I’d like to clarify: if a job is canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice, I believe it would be fair to pay 50% of the agreed rate. This is because I’ve already organized my schedule around the job and may have turned down other opportunities because I was committed to working that day.

Hello! I am Kälí, a high-profile childcare specialist with two decades of experience and a degree from UCLA. While I look younger than my resume suggests, I offer the seasoned expertise of a professional who has spent twenty years dedicated to families, including extensive work with newborns, infants, and toddlers. I am Red Cross and CPR certified, a licensed lifeguard, and fluent in ESL, allowing me to provide high-level developmental support.

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.

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.”

"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."
