Taydom $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Taydom. I’m 19 years old and currently a college student pursuing a degree in Child Development. I enjoy hiking, practicing yoga, and creating things from scratch using natural ingredients not just food, but a variety of homemade items that support a healthier, more intentional lifestyle. I currently work as a live-in nanny for a family with three children, including an infant and two school aged kids. My responsibilities include full-time infant care, school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework assistance, and general household maintenance such as dishes, laundry, and tidying. My previous experience includes care giving for seniors with cognitive impairments, including Alzheimer's and dementia. I’ve also worked at a forest school with children ranging from infancy to age six, where we spent all of our time outdoors exploring nature. I was responsible for setting up activities and creating crafts using natural materials we found during our time outside. Additionally, I’ve nannied for a family with two toddlers just 18 months apart, giving me valuable experience in managing multiple young children with different developmental needs.

Maria Jose $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is María, and I’m originally from Arizona but now based in East Village, San Diego. I studied Arts, Media, and Entertainment at the University of Arizona, and I’ve been caring for children for several years, both in professional settings and with my own family. ✨ Experience: I worked at Strauss ECE Daycare in Tucson, AZ for 4–5 years, caring for children ranging from infants (3 months) to preschoolers (up to 5 years old). I also worked as a full-time nanny in Rancho Santa Fe for 2 years and absolutely loved the experience. It allowed me to build a close bond with the family and provide consistent, one-on-one care. As the oldest of three sisters, babysitting has always been a natural part of my life. ✨ Skills & Services: • Bilingual: fluent in Spanish & English • Infant + toddler experience • Light cooking & meal prep • Laundry & light cleaning • Pet-friendly (no allergies) ✨ A little about me: I’m patient, caring, and love helping children learn and grow in a safe, fun environment. My background in arts and media has also made me creative and resourceful in keeping kids engaged. Outside of childcare, I run a small jewelry business, which reflects my organization and dedication. 💲 My rate is $25 per hour, and I’m happy to discuss/adjust depending on your family’s needs. First Aid & CPR certified. I’d love the chance to support your family and provide safe, reliable care for your little ones!

$25 per hour for 1 child
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.

"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."
