$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Poway, CA

I have experience working at an after school care program caring for TK-5th graders. I facilitated indoor and outdoor activities, coordinated snack time, monitored and assisted with homework and ensured safe, organized pick ups/drop offs. I also worked with teens that had special needs as a teacher’s assistant while in school. After high school, I cared for two kids (ages 2 and 4) for almost a year in their home while working towards my degree in child development. After that, I started caring for an 11 month old in her home. I would read to her, take her outside or to the park, feed her, and more. After she started school, I started watching a 9 month old and a 3 year old in their home, very similar to my other jobs. I also have younger siblings that range from 9-1 years old and I’ve taken care of each of them while my parents were working.

“Athena was on time and very sweet! Our boys loved her. She kept them safe and we would definitely recommend her!”

Booked by 2 families in Poway, CA

Hello Parents, My name is Biftuu, and I’m a 34-year-old nanny with a deep passion for working with children and pets. Since relocating here from Ohio, I’ve had the joy of working with many wonderful families, caring for children ranging from newborns and infants to school-age kids. Moving here was a big step—I left behind a large, close-knit family of 10 siblings, where I was the go-to “mommy’s little helper.” From a young age, I was changing diapers and helping with my younger siblings, which sparked my love for caregiving. As I grew older, my enthusiasm for working with children only deepened. I volunteered at my community library as a tutor and reading program coordinator during the summers, and throughout high school, I served as a teacher’s aide for pre-K through middle school. These experiences taught me that children come into the world with boundless potential and that I have a role in nurturing their growth, both academically and emotionally. In addition to my extensive experience with children, I also have years of experience in pet boarding and house sitting. This background has equipped me with the skills to handle various household responsibilities and ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. Working as a nanny allows me to focus on a small number of children, providing personalized care and helping to shape their lives with positive habits, creativity, and lots of laughter. I believe in creating a supportive and loving environment where children can thrive and develop important life skills. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and discuss how I can contribute to your child’s development and well-being. Feel free to reach out—I look forward to hearing from you! Warm regards, Biftuu

Booked by 6 families in Poway, CA

My name is Jiranan, but I go by Nadia because it’s easier to say. I currently work as a caregiver and am looking for a side job working with children to gain more experience. I’m a responsible and easygoing high school graduate who enjoys working with kids and helping others. I have about 3 years of volunteer experience teaching and assisting children, along with some hands-on caregiving experience, including working with special needs individuals. I’m fluent in Thai and Lao, and I’m known for being patient, dependable, and open-minded. I like getting to know each child’s personality and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I’m always willing to learn and grow while doing my best in everything I do.

Anum $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Poway, CA

Hey there! My name is Anum, 35, 13 year Air Force veteran. If you’re looking for a responsible, caring, well-rounded, and trustworthy person then I’m your gal! I’ve worked in healthcare as a CNA. I have my Certified Nursing Assistant cert., Restorative Nursing Assistant cert., Basic Life Support (BLS). I have previously worked as an In-home caregiver for elderly. I have tons of experience w/ all ages and love working with children. My past significant work experience is as a Financial Analyst and Internal Controls, while in the Air Force. Recent experience with kids ages ranging from infant to 12 years old. I am experienced with multiple kids. Recently worked with families with 18 month old twins and currently work full-time (flexible schedule) with another family with 6 and 7 year olds. I’m currently open to doing occasional babysitting for another family. I’m currently in school part-time and have a relatively flexible schedule. Experienced in elderly care (dementia care, post stroke, cancer patients, post surgery, hygiene, meals, medication reminders, transfers, vitals, etc) If your care needs require transportation (using my car) then I drive a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring. I have a clean driving record and safe driving habits. I haven’t had any issues w/ driving a provided car either. My care strategy is simple: learn care needs via instruction/observation and provide care based on your preference and needs. I’d love to help your young people reach and exceed developmental milestones! A daily activities schedule is appreciated, but not required. I’ll be sure to keep the kiddos on time to minimize any disruption to your families schedule. I’m flexible and can adapt to any circumstances. I can be chatty, fun, interactive, but also know how to bring it down to a relaxed and laid back environment. Pets! I love the furry family members and would be happy to help with them as well. I’m happy to help w/ light housekeeping as a part of nanny/babysitting duties and am open to discuss increased rates for more intensive housekeeping/personal assistant needs. Feel free to ask me any questions you have and book me for a trial! You and your family won’t be disappointed! -Anum

"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."
