Kleis $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kleis, and I'm looking for a full-time nanny position in the San Diego area. I'm based in the East Village, near Downtown, but I'm more than willing to travel! I've worked with kids for eight years, since I was 14; I'm 22 now. I started out babysitting for family and friends and have worked with kids of all ages. I am very comfortable with pets and am more than happy to help out with household work, whether that be cleaning, meal prep, etc. I recently graduated from UCSD with my bachelor's degree, and I also speak conversational Spanish. I'm available for full-time or part-time work, as well as the occasional date night or weekend babysitting- my schedule is very flexible! I'd love to connect and see if I may be a good fit for your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Erica $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Erica, and I’m currently offering babysitting/nannying! I’d be happy to step in for mornings or evenings. I just got started at Urban Sitter, so I don’t yet have any references on here but I have several from families I’ve worked with in the past that I’d be more than happy to share. I love working with kids and I have over 7 years of experience caring for children from infants through age 11. I’ve worked as an Engish tutor and gymnastics camp counselor in the past as well. I take a no-screen approach and love to keep kids engaged with play and activities. In my free time, I enjoy biking, reading, and baking. I’m CPR and First Aid certified for infants, kids, and adults. My rate starts at $20/hour (depending on age and number of children.) I’m located in central San Diego but willing to drive to you. I’m excited to meet some new families, please reach out anytime!

Paloma 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

I have been a Childcare Provider for two years 1/2, and have developed a deep passion for working with children. I enjoy engaging with their happy energy and creating fun, enriching activities that keep them engaged and learning. Equally important, I provide families with reliable support and peace of mind, allowing them time to rest or attend to their personal needs. Families trust that their children are safe, well-cared for, and supported in a nurturing environment whenever I am present.

“Hello, I highly recommend Paloma. She is friendly, highly reliable, never late and always on time. My kids love her and look forward to seeing her. She's also a mother so she knows the wants and needs of children. The best caregiver yet!”

Jessica 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I have been a child and family therapist for over 12 years. Within my certifications including a Masters in Family Clinical Psychology , my NLP knowledge and background is extremely helpful when communicating with children in a way that is well received, allowing the child to receive guidance in a positive way that builds confidence. For this past 12 years I have been a sitter off and on of my therapy client’s children and also for the children I see in session. It is true joy to be a positive encouraging influence in children’s growth and evolution. I pose lots of importance in quality time, nutrition, physical activity, positive encouragement, and minimal or none screen time.

“I’ve known Jessica for many years, and she is one of the kindest, most caring, and trustworthy people I know. She has cared for both of my children, and I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing they were with her. She is warm, patient, and genuinely attentive, and my family has always had a wonderful experience with her. I’m so grateful for her support over the years, and I would highly recommend her to any family looking for someone dependable and compassionate.”

"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."
