Alycia $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Alycia, a San Diego native and junior at San Diego State University studying English with the goal of becoming a teacher. I’ve always loved working with kids, and I have experience working with children from TK through 8th grade through youth programs and childcare. Beyond my paid experience, I’ve also volunteered alongside teachers at Coronado Middle School and Coronado Village Elementary, which gave me experience supporting children in a classroom setting. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and I’m someone who is patient, dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoys getting to know each child. I love creating a fun, comfortable environment where kids can be themselves while still having structure and feeling cared for. As a future teacher, working with children is something I truly care about—not just a job! 😁

I started working with children when I was 15 as a gymnastics coach for preschool. After that I continued to work with kids, including being a live in nanny, a behavior technician for children on the spectrum and babysitting for different families. I have worked with ages from newborn to middle school. I am very punctual and trustworthy and get along with kids great.

Cassie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Cassie! I am located in La Mesa, CA, and I am looking for part-time or full-time nanny/babysitting opportunities! I am in the final semester of my junior year at San Diego State University, but I will have a very flexible schedule when I begin working in May. If you're looking for responsible, hardworking, and reliable help with your family, I’m your gal! I am an outgoing, active, and experienced caregiver with several years of babysitting experience across numerous families and children of various ages. Most recently, I provided consistent, long-term care from 2021 to 2024 for a family with both an infant and a toddler, and I continued working with families into 2025. During this time, I took care of infants, toddlers, elementary school-age children, and preteens; through these roles, I have developed a strong ability to manage multiple children at once while maintaining a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. I love incorporating art, sports, outdoor activities, and creative play into my time with kids to keep them engaged, active, and having fun. I am happy to help around the house with day-to-day chores such as housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation, and to establish and maintain routines, whether that’s assisting with homework, organizing activities, or supporting daily schedules. I’m very comfortable with all aspects of childcare, including bath time, bedtime routines, and creating a calm, positive environment at the end of the day. And of course, I love all pets! I am CPR and First Aid certified, so I’m always ready to keep your kids safe while still having fun! I have a clean driving record and am comfortable with pickups/drop-offs, attending events, and traveling with the family! I am looking to start consistent care in early to mid-May, indefinitely! I pride myself on being dependable, organized, and attentive, while also bringing a fun, warm, and energetic presence into the home. If I seem like a good fit for your needs and your family, please do not hesitate to reach out with questions or inquiries! Thank you for your time and consideration, Cassie

"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."
