Priscilla $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Priscilla. I am a full time school counselor for a TK-8 school. I’m offering child care, senior care, pet care and house hold services. I love my current job but am hoping to be able to work part time in addition to what I currently do. Most of my experience comes from working with my family/ friends and referrals they made on my behalf. My experience with children ranges from working with infants, coaching, educating and providing mental health supports. In other held positions I also organized/ran children events such as crafting activities, workshops, and cheer teams. This experience has been both professional and personal over the span of 18 years. Senior care and animal care has been primarily personal experience. The level of care I provided varied based on needs. However, I feel comfortable and confident to provide this type of support to families.

Denotra $25 per hour for 1 child

I have over five years of experience working with children through both babysitting and classroom settings. I started as a babysitter, caring for children of various ages, which helped me develop strong skills in creating safe, engaging, and nurturing environments. In addition, I worked in an elementary school where I assisted in a two-year-old classroom. There, I supported daily activities, helped with learning routines, and encouraged social and emotional development.

Sienna $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in National City, CA

Hi families! I’m Sienna, and I grew up in San Francisco and am a 2nd year at San Diego State University. I've been caring for kids and pets for about six years now. I started out babysitting my neighbors’ little ones when they were tiny toddlers—now the boy is 8 and the girl is 4, and watching them grow has honestly been the sweetest part of the job. I’m patient, playful, and creative, and I always make sure kids feel safe, happy, and supported—whether we’re powering through homework, building forts, or just hanging out and being silly. I also have plenty of experience cat sitting and dog sitting. ’m dependable, respectful, and super easy to get along with, and I take pride in being someone families can count on. I’m brand new to UrbanSitter, which is why you won’t see reviews on my profile yet—but I do have references who can vouch for me. Feel free to ask, and I’ll gladly share their phone numbers! Caring for kids and pets never feels like “work” to me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I’d love the chance to bring that energy to your family.
