alejandra $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Alejandra, and I’m a loving and energetic mom of a 7‑year‑old boy with more than 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages. My favorite way to teach, connect, and support kids is through play, creativity, and sports. I truly believe children learn best when they feel safe, engaged, and having fun. I’m originally from Colombia and now living in San Diego. I’m bilingual (English–Spanish), patient, responsible, and very active. I enjoy organizing games, outdoor activities, reading time, and hands‑on learning moments. I also love cooking, and I’m happy to prepare meals or snacks. I can help with light cleaning, homework, and daily routines.

I’m working on going back to school to continue working with kids. With that being said, I have experience and great knowledge to look after children!

Hi I’m Priscilla, I’m new to urban sitter. I have 5 years of baby sitting/nanny experience. I have been with one family for those 5 years and am now looking for more experience.

I am an auntie of two boys, no older than two years old that I care for often. I love to bring good energy, I’m calm, attentive, patient, and organized. I’m willing to communicate, engage, and overall create a safe space for the kids and family involved. I have safe and reliable transportation. I love pets and do well with them as long as they do not have aggressive tendencies. If I seem like a right fit I would love to hear back and connect!

"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."
