Kleis $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kleis, and I'm looking for a full-time nanny position in the San Diego area. I'm based in the East Village, near Downtown, but I'm more than willing to travel! I've worked with kids for eight years, since I was 14; I'm 22 now. I started out babysitting for family and friends and have worked with kids of all ages. I am very comfortable with pets and am more than happy to help out with household work, whether that be cleaning, meal prep, etc. I recently graduated from UCSD with my bachelor's degree, and I also speak conversational Spanish. I'm available for full-time or part-time work, as well as the occasional date night or weekend babysitting- my schedule is very flexible! I'd love to connect and see if I may be a good fit for your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Erica $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Erica, and I’m currently offering babysitting/nannying! I’d be happy to step in for mornings or evenings. I just got started at Urban Sitter, so I don’t yet have any references on here but I have several from families I’ve worked with in the past that I’d be more than happy to share. I love working with kids and I have over 7 years of experience caring for children from infants through age 11. I’ve worked as an Engish tutor and gymnastics camp counselor in the past as well. I take a no-screen approach and love to keep kids engaged with play and activities. In my free time, I enjoy biking, reading, and baking. I’m CPR and First Aid certified for infants, kids, and adults. My rate starts at $20/hour (depending on age and number of children.) I’m located in central San Diego but willing to drive to you. I’m excited to meet some new families, please reach out anytime!

Sophia $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My background is primarily in childcare, with most of my experience caring for babies from 3 to 16 months old. I’ve also worked with toddlers and young kids and truly enjoy being part of their daily routines and growth. I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and have gained a wide range of hands-on experience along the way. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, grocery runs, preparing meals, crafts and creative play, tutoring, and even helping with activities like dance lessons. I’m comfortable caring for children without relying on screens and understand the energy, patience, and engagement that requires. I genuinely enjoy staying present, active, and attentive with the kids I’m caring for. Personality-wise, I’m bubbly, outgoing, and warm, while still being responsible and reliable. I truly care about the children I work with and love learning their routines, personalities, and the little things that make them feel happy and comfortable. I’m also a strong multitasker, comfortable caring for pets, and happy to assist with household tasks for an agreed-upon additional fee. My goal is always to support families in a way that feels trustworthy, positive, and stress-relieving.

"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."
