Hi families! I'm Colin, and I have extensive hands-on experience caring for children ages 14-months to 9-years-old. I especially enjoy working with creative, imaginative kids and have also served as a youth group leader and piano tutor, which strengthened my patience, structure, and ability to encourage children in a positive, engaging way. Happy to provide additional references from my Care.com profile, where you can read reviews from other families I’ve worked with! I specialize in screen-free activities like reading, pretend play, crafts, outdoor play, and positive daily routines. I also have experience supporting children who are shy or neurodivergent, and always adapt my approach to help them feel comfortable, supported, and engaged! I'm CPR/First Aid certified, Home Care Aide (HCA) certified, fingerprint background checked, TB cleared, have reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and an SDSU engineering degree. As a bonus, I'm also happy to help with handyman tasks around the house! If you're looking for someone kind, dependable, and genuinely invested in your child's well-being, I'd love to help your family!
“Thanks to Colin, my daughter and I truly had a fantastic memory during my business trip to La Jolla where he was taking care of my daughter while I was at a conference. Colin is kind, fun, patient and was genuinely engaged with my six year old daughter Emilia. He came fully prepared and worked out an entire program for her. He brought a handmade diary to record daily activities together and a tool kit with toys and books for entertainment. Colin truly stands out as someone reliable, punctual and approachable. He communicated needs and expectations clearly upfront and was very thoughtful about making this an enjoyable experience for my daughter. She truly enjoyed spending time with Colin and I trusted him completely, especially coming from out of town. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any family looking for a dependable and caring sitter, whether at home or while traveling.”

“Jenessa, Ms. Jen, was an amazing caregiver to our kids. She arrived on time and had many activities planned with our children. Ms Jen asked questions to ensure she had the right knowledge and understanding of what and how our children would be cared for. She was very knowledgeable in how to communicate to our kids and provided engaging conversation. We had a wonderful experience with Ms Jen and would definitely look forward to her caregiving services in the future. ”

"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
