I spent 6 months as a full-time, live-in nanny for a sweet infant daughter.

I have over 7 years of dedicated experience providing top-tier pet sitting, professional grooming advice, and specialized animal behavior care. I am incredibly comfortable with cats, dogs of all shapes and sizes, and exotic pets. Whether your fur-baby needs a high-energy walk, a strict medication schedule maintained, or just a lot of evening cuddles, they will be treated like royalty. I am also a meticulous house sitter, ensuring your home stays spotless, secure, and running smoothly while you're away. šŸ’– Why Choose Me? I’m highly organized, incredibly adaptable, and stay completely cool under pressure. I love meeting people, solving problems, and bringing a positive, trustworthy energy into your home.

Sorng $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Kim — a caring, dependable Career Nanny with a little ā€œMary Poppinsā€ magic! ā˜‚ļøāœØ My profile may still display my previous name, Sorng, but my name has been legally changed to Kimberly, and I go by Kim. I bring 27 years of combined childcare experience working with children from 6 weeks through school age. My background includes preschool teaching, professional nanny care, babysitting, and experience supporting children with special needs. I love creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. I enjoy bringing a little Mary Poppins creativity into each day through age-appropriate activities, arts and crafts, sensory play, outdoor adventures, reading, music, and educational activities tailored to each child’s interests and developmental stage. I’m comfortable with infant and toddler routines, including bottles and feeding, diapering, naps, bathing, dressing, meal and snack preparation, and light child-related housekeeping. I also have experience assisting families with sleep training and maintaining established household routines. Families describe me as patient, attentive, dependable, organized, and nurturing. I’m TrustLine certified and CPR/First Aid certified, and I take safety and communication with parents very seriously. Whether you’re looking for a regular nanny, occasional babysitter, date-night sitter, weekend care, or overnight care, I’d love the opportunity to bring dependable, loving care — and a little Mary Poppins magic — to your family. ā˜‚ļøāœØ Out of respect for my former employers’ schedules, I kindly ask that reference checks be made after 5:00 PM.

Gabriel $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, future families! :) My name is Gabriel and I've been working directly with children for 5+ years in (1) child residential care settings (mental health treatment, foster placements, and juvenile justice placements), (2) summer camp (Girl Scouts San Diego), and (3) private caregiving, of course. Historically, the children I serve have one or more of these care priorities: (a) behavioral (e. g. autism, ADHD, anxiety, developmental disabilities), (b) educational (e. g. tutoring, Girl Scouts badges, school projects), and/or (c) recreational (e. g. outings, sports, arts). I am available for an in-person interview at a location of your choice, or a virtual interview via UrbanSitter or by private phone (number available upon request).

I hold an Associate’s Degree in Child Development from Southwestern College, earned in Spring 2023, and bring a solid foundation in both developmental theory and practical application.

Professionally, I have had the privilege of working with children diagnosed with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), supporting them with patience, empathy, and tailored strategies that encourage trust, growth, and confidence. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to inclusive care that meets each child where they are. Now that my own children are in school, I am excited to offer my support to other families seeking a dependable, understanding, and knowledgeable caregiver. I am currently available for occasional babysitting, one-time care, date nights and overnight. Credentials & Availability: • CPR • Experience with neurodiverse children (ADHD & Autism) • Background check available upon request • Based in Chula Vista, CA, and willing to commute • Fluent in English and Spanish (optional if applicable) I would be honored to contribute to your child’s care and well-being, and I look forward to the opportunity to support your family with professionalism and heart. Warm regards, Laura Michelle Vazquez

Abigail $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Abii! Think of me as the cool auntie who’s around whenever you need an extra hand. Whether you’re working, enjoying a date night, running errands, or simply want a few hours to yourself, I’d be happy to help! I have experience caring for infants and children up to 12 years old. Growing up, I helped raise and care for the children in my family. It gave me plenty of hands-on experience with their different ages, personalities, and needs. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, taking walks to the park, and finding fun ways to keep busy:) I can also help with homework and provide simple tutoring in a variety of school subjects. I’m 24 years old and currently work from home which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m hoping to keep busy during my free time by doing something that comes naturally to me—caring for kids and helping around when it’s needed the most. I’m happy to prepare simple meals and snacks, help with light household chores, and keep your family’s preferred routine in check. I look forward to meeting all families of different sizes and shapes!!:)

"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."
