“We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.” ~ Stacia Tauscher Hello, I am Regina. A teacher, mother and nature lover. In my ten years as an educator I have worn many hats. From Montessori guide, to private, Judaic and play-based schools and also as a behavioral tech for the school district. I have found most success and personal satisfaction as a private nanny and family assistant. I look forward to being a member of your family and providing you the parent peace of mind and your child a safe place to be. Bachelors in education 2024. Infant and pediatric CPR current 2026

I have nannied for over 7 years. I graduated from SDSU with a degree in liberal studies- for elementary education. Although I have not transitioned to a classroom I find nannying and caring to be an amazing way to fill my life and work! I have loved many families and lots of different configurations over my time! I’ve worked with multiple toddlers, special needs children, been hands on with elementary schoolers and I’ve grown very comfortable in so many settings. With having such a diverse group of people to nanny for I’ve found myself cooking, cleaning, organizing and even more, I’m happy to help in so many ways!I love to bring a gentle, patient and supportive environment for any kiddo while still providing structure and routine with clear communication. CPR/First aid certified, up to date and also trust line registered

“Ace was awesome! Always on time and my little brother loved them! 10/10 recommend”

Hello I’m a mother of 4 grown men. I raised my boys by myself but thrived for them to be strong, independent, hardworking, kind Christian men and those are strong morals that I have. For some reason I’m a magnet to kids lol which is amazing to me cause I love kids so I’ve acquired many many nieces and nephews. I go by Angel so I’m always “Auntie Angel” which I love. I love the outdoors, craft, art, music, animals, reading, movies, cooking, and anything adventurous so with that being said your child will definitely have an adventure with me everyday! Plus I’m strong believer in learning but I like the more creative ways to learn to make it fun and so you remember what you learn! I do have degree in computer programming (so I am smart :)), CNA (so I’ve taken care of elders with all their needs, which makes me very patient and compassionate), been server/GM at restaurant (so I’m responsible, clean, multi tasked, patient, prompt,loyal,trustworthy), and many other jobs. Also have CPR and first aid. Since I’m single and have no kids I’m free morning thru night. Call me anytime you want some adult time or need to run errands! I’m available and look forward to meeting your family!

“Wonderful!!”

"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."
