Booked by 15 families in San Marcos, CA

Hi, my name is Jacqueline! I am from San Jose. I went to University of San Francisco to major in Politics and minor in Legal Studies. I also recently finished my Master’s of Public Administration and Public Policy from University of Southern California. I am hoping to pursue law school next so I am currently saving up for that! I have always found a great deal of happiness when taking care of children, so I look forward to spending my free time babysitting. I enjoy interacting with the children (especially seeing how much energy they have) and watching them develop tremendously over time. I am CPR/AED certified[removed]67971) by the American Heart Association. Here is a little background about my experience: In my family, I am one of the oldest cousins so my aunts/uncles always look to me to babysit their kids. Not only have I had experience in babysitting, but also formally engaged in tutoring elementary students for over 5 years and guiding youth - elementary students in youth camps/ science camps. I look forward to simply helping your family out and meeting your kids! Feel free to contact me with any questions.

“Jacqueline was fabulous with our son. He had a great time and she took care of him very well.”

"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."
