hello! My name is Taylor. I am 26 years old and have over 10+ years experience in babysitting, nannying and day care work with children ranging from infants to middle schoolers. I love being able to hang out with the kids & help them in any way possible! I currently work as a behavior technician with children in schools! As a behavior technician I implement ABA strategies to help children! I’m good at engaging children through multiple activities in order to meet their educational & physical needs. I am CPR certified and first aid certified! I am also fully vaccinated! I am interested in a occasional nannying position. I am located in San Diego! I am able to start ASAP!!
“Taylor is the best. 2 minutes after meeting her I felt so comfortable leaving my 3 month old with her. My daughter had a great time playing with Taylor every day. Taylor really helped us out over a period of 2 weeks where we needed childcare. I only wish we could use her full time. We will definitely be asking Taylor to babysit again!”
Hi I'm Nicole and I am currently residing in San Diego. I just moved back to California after living in Charleston, SC where I managed a bridal shop. I also had a part-time nannying job for a 3 year old, but I have experience with kids from ages newborn to teen. I love being active and have a car, so I can easily take kids to the park or somewhere local for an outdoor activity. I am willing to help out with homework, help tidy up around the house, and cook. One of my favorite past-times is reading, so I would be more than happy to read to before bedtime.
Hi Parents! My name is Vianney, I’m a 30-year-old professional childcare provider and Montessori home school teacher with over 9 years of experience caring for children from newborns to 13 years old. I’ve studied Montessori/Early Childhood Care & Education, worked at Montessori Hills Academy, and completed a 1-year internship at Vita Montessori. I’m very active, patient, and creative, and love keeping kids engaged with a balance of outdoor activities (walks, playground time, nature exploration) and indoor activities such as arts & crafts, reading, building blocks/Legos, puzzles, baking simple treats, music/dance, and age-appropriate Montessori-inspired learning games. Families can count on me to be reliable and to work as a team to support their children’s growth.

Hi my name is Amanda, I’m 29 years old. I’m the oldest of four. I joke I’ve grown up with a baby on my hip for as long as I can remember. Early Childhood Education is my passion. I’ve been working with children at different capacities for the last thirteen years. Most of my work with children involve babies 2 weeks to 24 months, however I have experience with all ages. I have worked as a one on one nanny, in a childcare center. Most recently I work at the YMCA as a lead of the Child Watch center for the last four years. I enjoy the challenge and journey of helping a child grow and helping to shape their minds. I’m very caring, present and quick thinking. I’m CPR and first aide certified, I renew every 2 years.
“Amanda was early, kept great communication before meeting me, and was very professional and great with the kids. I would hire her again and I highly recommend her.”
Hi families!! I'm a 21-year-old senior nursing student at Point Loma Nazarene University. I'm BLS CPR certified and have over 300 hours of clinical experience through my nursing program! I’m also a CNA with plenty of pediatric experience. I bring over 6 years of paid babysitting experience, and worked as a director at a children's summer day camp for two years! I'm confident caring for kids of all ages, happy to help with household needs, and great with pets, too. I have a clean driving record, reliable transportation, and a clear background check. I'd love to support your family!
“Samantha put our three kids (0, 2 yo and 5yo) to sleep well! Calm and helpful ”

"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."
