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

Hello, I am Felicia! I’m a compassionate, dependable caregiver with several years of hands-on experience supporting children, seniors, pets, and households. My background includes working as a teacher, camp counselor, and tutor, which has given me a strong foundation in child development, patience, and creating safe, engaging environments. I am equally comfortable providing care for elderly individuals and have been specifically requested for senior support due to my reliability, attentiveness, and respectful approach. Child Care I have experience caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. I enjoy creating structured yet fun routines that include educational activities, creative play, and outdoor time. I love engaging children through reading, arts and crafts, dancing, painting, and age-appropriate games. I also offer tutoring and homework support and am comfortable preparing meals and helping maintain daily routines. Senior Care I have provided non-medical senior care focused on companionship, safety, and daily support. My experience includes assisting with meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, transportation, and offering meaningful conversation and emotional support. I truly enjoy senior care because I value building trust, listening to life stories, and helping individuals maintain comfort, dignity, and independence. Pet Care I have experience caring for a variety of pets and breeds and have been trusted with pet sitting and dog walking. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, including those that shed. My services include walking, feeding, playtime, basic care routines, and ensuring pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Household Services I have experience with house sitting and general household support, including light cleaning, laundry, organizing, cooking, and running errands. I prefer to use your cleaning supplies and equipment and I will always treat homes with care and respect. I am reliable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy supporting families and individuals in meaningful ways. I look forward to providing dependable, thoughtful care you can trust.

Lisa $30 per hour for 1 child

With over 15 years of nanny experience and a current schedule packed with regular babysitting gigs, I’ve seen (and handled) it all — from newborn night feedings to juggling homework, dinner, and bedtime for multiple kids at once. I’m known for being calm under pressure, endlessly patient, and the kind of sitter kids adore and parents trust completely. I bring the perfect mix of fun and structure — think creative activities, outdoor adventures, and imaginative play, all balanced with homework help, healthy meals, and a smooth bedtime routine. Safety is always my top priority, but I’m not afraid to get silly, crawl around in a fort, or host a living-room dance party. Parents count on me because I’m reliable, resourceful, and unflappable — the babysitter who can fix a scraped knee, soothe a fussy toddler, and keep the older kids entertained, all while leaving your home cleaner than I found it.

"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."
