Alexa $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Alexa. I am 24 years old and have been working in the childcare industry since I was 20. Throughout my experience, I have had the opportunity to work with children ranging from as young as three months old through four years old. I was part of a continuity-of-care program, which allowed me to build strong, lasting relationships with the same children and families for up to two years as they grew and developed. I began my experience working with infants and later transitioned into toddler and preschool classrooms. I have a passion for creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported and encouraged to learn. I have an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Development, CPR certification, and experience communicating and working closely with families and team members. I am dependable, patient, hardworking, and always willing to learn and grow professionally.

Samantha $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Samantha, and I’m currently a Public Health major at San Diego State University with plans to become a nurse. I am CPR/BLS certified and truly enjoy caring for and being around children. During the week I work part-time at Javier’s in La Jolla, so I’m looking to help families on the weekends. I would describe myself as kind, patient, responsible, clean, attentive, and trustworthy. I understand how important it is to find someone you feel completely comfortable leaving your child with, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and caring environment while giving parents peace of mind. I’m more than happy to answer any questions, provide references, or do whatever I can to help you feel confident and comfortable trusting me with your little ones that you love!

Sophia $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My background is primarily in childcare, with most of my experience caring for babies from 3 to 16 months old. I’ve also worked with toddlers and young kids and truly enjoy being part of their daily routines and growth. I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and have gained a wide range of hands-on experience along the way. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, grocery runs, preparing meals, crafts and creative play, tutoring, and even helping with activities like dance lessons. I’m comfortable caring for children without relying on screens and understand the energy, patience, and engagement that requires. I genuinely enjoy staying present, active, and attentive with the kids I’m caring for. Personality-wise, I’m bubbly, outgoing, and warm, while still being responsible and reliable. I truly care about the children I work with and love learning their routines, personalities, and the little things that make them feel happy and comfortable. I’m also a strong multitasker, comfortable caring for pets, and happy to assist with household tasks for an agreed-upon additional fee. My goal is always to support families in a way that feels trustworthy, positive, and stress-relieving.

Jocelyn $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in National City, CA

Hello Families! My name is Jocelyn Gómez, I am 21 years old, and I have over 4 years of experience caring for children. Working with kids is something I truly enjoy, and I love being part of their learning, growth, and everyday adventures. In addition to my nanny experience, I served as a volunteer teacher at a missionary base, where I worked with large groups of children. This experience helped me develop strong skills in leadership, organization, creativity, and creating a safe and positive environment for children of all ages. I am currently studying Child Development in college, which allows me to better understand children’s emotional, social, and cognitive development. I enjoy using what I learn to support children in ways that are both fun and age-appropriate. Families describe me as responsible, patient, trustworthy, and caring. I strive to create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore and learn. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, educational activities, creative play, or simply being a positive role model, I always give my best. Spanish is my first language, and I am continuously improving my English skills. I am comfortable communicating with families and am always eager to learn and grow. I have excellent references available upon request and currently have a flexible schedule and open availability. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide loving, dependable care for your children.

"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."
