Booked by 5 families in National City, 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.

“Very professional. Showed up on time, and asked questions where needed. Very sweet and helpful with kids!”

$30 per hour for 1 child

I have worked with infants up until middle school. I specialize in developmentally appropriate education based play supporting individual needs and milestones. Nurturing children and watching them learn brings me immense joy. My passion for fostering growth, combined with 10 years of childhood care in home and in schools gives me a versatile background. I am patient, creative, and kind. I am genuinely empathetic and will treat your child as my own. I have a positive and upbeat demeanor. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, puzzles, and educational activities. I am comfortable caring for up to three children of all ages, including infants and toddlers. I hold a graduate degree and have current certifications in CPR and First Aid. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I hope to bring my enthusiasm and experience to your family.

“Joanna cared for our 9mo full time for 3 months. She was amazing. This was our first time using a nanny and were nervous about trusting someone off of a website, but Joanna immediately eased our minds. She is so loving and motherly, and truly became part of our family during our time working together. There was nothing that phased her and was willing to go out and about with my daughter to expose her to a variety of experiences like going to the zoo and museums. I highly recommend Joanna for care of your loved one.”

I am a responsible, caring, and experienced babysitter with a background in caring for children from newborns to 12 years old. I am originally from Colombia, and Spanish is my first language. I am also fluent in English, which allows me to communicate easily with bilingual families. I am CPR and AED certified, so I am prepared to respond calmly and effectively in emergency situations. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children while supporting their development at every stage. I also love dancing, painting, and cooking, and I enjoy incorporating creative and engaging activities into my time with children.

Priscilla $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Priscilla, I’m new to urban sitter. I have 5 years of baby sitting/nanny experience. I have been with one family for those 5 years and am now looking for more experience. Prior, I have always been around kids. Thanks to my family I’ve had the experience of watching my loved ones grow up from babies to teens, taking care and spending time with them. I am an auntie of two boys, no older than two years old that I care for often. I love to bring good energy, I’m calm, attentive, patient, and organized. I’m willing to communicate, engage, and overall create a safe space for the kids and family involved. I have safe and reliable transportation. I love pets and do well with them as long as they do not have aggressive tendencies. If I seem like a right fit I would love to hear back and connect!

"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."
