Booked by 28 families in San Diego, CA

Hello! My name is Kinga, and I’m an experienced and dependable babysitter based in La Jolla, San Diego. I’ve spent the last eleven years caring for children of all ages-from infants to elementary school-and I truly love what I do. Along with my nannying background, I’ve also tutored kindergarten through second grade, which has given me a strong foundation in early learning and communication. I have a genuine passion for supporting children with special needs. For the past three years, I’ve worked closely with a 23-year-old with Phelan-McDermid Syndrome, serving as his eyes and ears and assisting with daily living, communication, and safety. This experience has taught me patience, creativity, and how to build trust with individuals who need a little extra support. It’s also a big part of why I’m currently studying social work-I’m committed to making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Families describe me as calm, caring, and intuitive. I enjoy spending time outdoors, crafting, and finding ways to keep kids engaged. I’m reliable, communicative, and focused on creating a safe and positive environment for every child I work with. I am up to date with my vaccines and happy to provide references. I look forward to hearing from you!

“Kinga was amazing with my 3 year old autistic son. She gave me updates through her time with him and ensured that he got the best care and attention. Thank you, Kinga!”

Booked by 6 families in San Diego, CA

Hello! I'm Cassandra, a dedicated and caring babysitter with over 6 years of experience working with children of all ages from infants to young teens. I have extensive experience caring for infants and toddlers, ensuring they are safe, happy, and well-attended to. I’ve had the pleasure of working with both individual children and groups, creating safe, engaging, and fun environments whether it’s one-on-one care or managing multiple children at once. Additionally, I have a background in working with children with special needs, offering compassionate support tailored to each child’s individual needs. A significant portion of my experience comes from working with families involved in Al-Anon, a support group for those impacted by someone else's alcohol use. This has given me a deeper understanding of the unique dynamics and challenges these families face, allowing me to provide empathetic and supportive care with a focus on their emotional and practical needs. In addition to my babysitting experience, I’ve volunteered with the Best Day Foundation, teaching children how to surf and helping them learn to boogie board. This experience has further developed my ability to care for kids with disabilities in a meaningful way while encouraging their new skills and confidence. I take pride in creating a nurturing, fun, and educational environment while giving parents peace of mind. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, or providing the extra care some children need, I’m here to make sure your little ones are well cared for. I look forward to meeting your family and helping make your life a little easier!

“Cassandra is simply amazing! She is so sweet and down to earth. Our kids really enjoy having her over. She plays games with them and really engages in good conversations with them. We will definitely be having her back. ”

"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."
