Cris $40 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! :)

Valerie $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

Hello families, thank you for taking the time to read this! My name is Valerie and I'm a proud mom to my 21 yr old son, my 18 yr old son, and my 15 yr old daughter. With more than two decades raising my three children in Cardiff & Encinitas and managing our busy household of five (seven, counting our pups!), I'm deeply grateful to be able to continue to devote myself to the care and well-being of children and their families. I loved that our home was often the place where my children and their friends chose to play, hangout, or work on school projects together. I'm equally happy and comfortable getting the chance to spend time rocking and soothing your newborn at 2am, sitting on the floor next to your children playing their favorite games, helping with their homework, teaching them how to bake or how to make homemade play-dough, as I am taking them to the beach, to the park, having an impromptu dance party, or being able to drive a carload of children to and from school and their activities, and even hosting your child's birthday party along with 20 of their guests. My priority is always to make sure your children are and feel safe and supported. Even in stressful situations, I am calm and patient, meeting each child where they are in that moment. I am dependable, emotionally mature, and have a high level of energy and the ability to adapt easily to changes. I value clear and open communication. In addition to my years caring for my own children, I bring with me over 40 yrs of experience caring for other families' children, beginning in my early teens babysitting for families in University City. While earning my BA in Psychology at SDSU, I worked for a busy family daycare and as a part-time nanny. I have a social work background working with young adults with developmental disabilities and I have extensive experience supporting (and raising) neurodiverse children. I also volunteered weekly for many years in each of my children's classrooms, from preschool through 6th grade, gaining classroom experience supporting both students and teachers. I understand the trust it takes to allow someone else to care for your child and the importance of finding the right match to fit your family. I look forward to having the opportunity to meet you and your family and finding out how I can best support you!

$26 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 14 families in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

Hi! My name is Bella, and I graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Education. I have always had a passion for caring for others and making a positive difference in people’s lives. As the oldest of seven siblings, caring for others has always been a natural part of who I am. Growing up, I helped care for my younger brothers and sisters, which taught me patience, responsibility, and compassion from a young age. I’m also a proud mom of two children. Motherhood has strengthened my patience, empathy, and ability to stay calm and attentive in all kinds of situations. Caring for my own children has deepened my understanding of the importance of creating a safe, loving, and supportive environment. I also had the privilege of caring for my grandmother, who lived with diabetes and dementia. That experience taught me the importance of providing not only physical assistance but also companionship, understanding, and dignity. I know how meaningful it is for families to have someone they can trust to care for their loved one with kindness and respect. Whether it’s helping with daily activities, preparing meals, light housekeeping, running errands, transportation to appointments, medication reminders, or simply being there to listen and provide companionship, I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and positive environment. I treat every person I care for as if they were a member of my own family. I would be honored to care for your loved one and provide the same compassion, patience, and respect that I would give to my own family. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to the opportunity to support you and your loved one

"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."
