Booked by 68 families in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

I currently live in north county Del Mar . Looking for full time / part time work / occasional sitting. Started my childcare career in 2016 at a barre studio called Daily Method that provided daycare while the moms would workout. I am very responsible and have a lot of experience and patience with kids and will also show them a lot of love and give them my full undivided attention. My favorite thing about babysitting is how unfiltered and carefree children can be 😂. I know how important children are and I can be trusted with their safety. I’m also a very clean person aswell and like to keep the common areas tidy and clean as we go. I’ve worked for a ton of families over the past several years and can provide more references if needed when it comes to transferring and driving children in my car or just overall experience with me sitting or nannying. I’ve done overnights, can stay past midnight, and i’m very flexible towards everyone’s schedule! Additional services I can provide are animal care, transportation, light house-work (cleaning up anything related to the children such as toys food plates ect.). I’m also open to doing laundry, dishes, and taking out the trash for an additional charge. Some other add on services could be restocking any groceries, household items, or supplies needed for the home, and general organizing.

“Stephanie did a great job with our dogs (including a very young puppy) on a long weekend. She was very responsive and kept us up to date on how things went throughout. Would definitely use her again on future trips.”

Hi! My name is Jenna and I'm available for child care! I've recently graduated from USC and am now attending UC Hastings! I have years of experience with children - as I used to nanny in Los Angeles while I was a student - with children anywhere from 1-15 years old as well as with multiple children. I enjoy outdoor activities (running, hiking, snow sports, etc) as well as arts and crafts and fun games! If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me.

“Jenna was great, she jumped right in with my 7 and 3.5 year old. She updated me on how the evening was going once they went to bed. I would have Jenna babysit again and would recommend her!”

Cris $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Cris :). I have been a professional personal child care provider for more than 10 years! I have experience with all ages. Being a child care provider allowed me to obtain experience in organizing children’s daily schedules, which included meals, school, and recreational activities. I also enjoy doing fun art creative projects with the kids. I love to inspire and engage children and youth into the art world and to help them gain a boost of confidence through the creation of art. As a child it is important to develop senses such as self gratitude and self love. I witnessed and absorbed how art is a way that can heal and help a child who struggles to learn academically or who faces emotional and mental challenges. It allows a child to have expression, create coping skills, and strengthen their sense of self. I am certified in CPR. I’m also a responsible, patient, and trustworthy person and I always prioritize the well-being and happiness of the children in my care. I’m also a animal lover and don’t mind being around any fur babies if you have any. I am looking forward to hearing from you and I wish you the best of luck with your search! :)

A few things about me! My name is Jessica Garcia. I have two beautiful daughters.🥰 I graduated from San Francisco State University. I’ve been with UrbanSitter for a bit over 6 years. I LOVE taking care of children and I’m really good at it :) It comes naturally!

“I was so impressed with Jessica from the start. I normally never leave the house the first time a nanny comes over, but she immediately made me feel comfortable enough to do so. She was absolutely excellent with our daughter, and they seemed to bond so quickly. Jessica kept me updated the entire time, which I really appreciated, and I felt completely at ease knowing my daughter was with her. I truly cannot say enough great things about her. We had such a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her!”

"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."
