Melina

$22 per hour for 1 childBooked by 2 families in Lemon Grove, CA
I’m an experienced childcare professional with over seven years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I’ve been both a live-in and full-time nanny, and I’ve supported multiple families over the years with everything from daily routines to developmental activities. I also worked as an after-school program leader for middle school students, giving me strong skills in homework support, behavior management, and creating fun, structured activities. I have experience with children from 2 months up to 12 years old, and I’m confident handling schedules, meal prep, light cleaning, naps, school pick-ups, and creating a safe, warm environment. I’m very organized, reliable, and clean, and I have my own car with a valid driver’s license. I am also CPR certified/infant first aid certified. I love helping families feel supported and making sure their kids feel cared for, engaged, and comfortable!

Hi! My name is Mia, and I’m currently a college student in San Diego. I’ve been babysitting and working with children for several years and absolutely love being around kids! I’m responsible, patient, caring, and love keeping kids engaged through games, activities, outdoor time, or whatever they enjoy most. I’d love the opportunity to learn more about your family, your children, and what you’re looking for in a babysitter.

$27 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Thais, 32, originally from Brazil, now a permanent resident in San Diego - CA. I’ve been caring for kids for the past 8 years, starting as a full-time nanny and now babysitting on nights and weekends around my marketing job. I’m right at home with bottle feeds, nap schedules, snack time meltdowns, and all the fun. What I care about most is that your kids are safe, happy, and looked after, not just watched. I keep things playful when they’ve got energy to burn and calm when it’s time to wind down. Bedtime routines, mealtimes, screen limits, whatever your house rules are, I follow them. Being a former full-time nanny taught me to stay steady when things get hectic and to really communicate with parents. You’ll hear from me if anything comes up, and I’ll leave you a quick rundown of how it went. I’m reliable, and I show up on time. I’m comfortable driving and happy to travel to you. I also love pets, so a dog or cat in the mix is a bonus, not a problem. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to meet your family. My Facebook is:[removed] I’m happy to provide references. Thank you!
“I’m delighted to recommend Thais as a nanny and childcare provider. She has cared for our family for almost four years, starting when our oldest son was just 1 year old, and now helps look after both of our children (currently almost 5 and 3½ years old). Over these years, Thais has proven to be exceptionally reliable and trustworthy — we have never had to worry when the kids are in her care. She is wonderful with children: attentive, patient, and genuinely engaged with them, always noticing their needs before we even have to ask. She’s proactive in anticipating what the kids need day to day, and she consistently keeps their spaces and belongings tidy and organized. Our family trust her completely, and our children adore her. Any family would be lucky to have her as part of their team.”

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
