Hi! I'm a mom of two elementary-aged kids with a degree in Human Development, with a focus in child development, and a background in social work. Along with my professional knowledge, I bring the real-life experience of raising neurodivergent children, which has taught me patience, flexibility, and the importance of redirection over discipline. I love creating a positive, playful environment where kids feel safe, encouraged, and free to be themselves, whether that's through outdoor adventures, crafts, or fun at home. I'm reliable, energetic, and able to manage multiple children at once, and I'm also happy to help with light cleaning, errands, and pets to support the whole family. With my flexible schedule and warm, hands-on approach, I'm passionate about helping children grow in confidence while giving parents peace of mind.
“Kelsey is the absolute best! We have used her 4-5 times now and will definitely be using her regularly going forward! She is so patient with our 4 month old and is always very interactive with him! We could not recommend her enough!”
Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and patient babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I strive to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable while their parents are away. I just recently moved from Tennessee and love outdoor activities! I can help cook, clean and run errands for the family.
Hello, I’m Nathan and I have experience with babies, toddlers, school age kids and pets. I’m looking to help a nice family on the weekends or mornings part time. Pets are welcome too, I have a lot of experience watching dogs, cats, and other animals.
“Very easy, great with our kids. Would hire again ”
I’ve been babysitting for around 7 years, and caring for kids is something I genuinely love. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I take pride in being reliable, helpful, and someone parents can trust, while also making sure the kids I’m with feel seen, supported, and have fun.
I have been a nanny for 2 families in the past 10 years. Each job involved picking up from school, taking them to various appointments and waiting until mom came or I took them back home. I would do light housekeeping and help with homework. I would take them to karate, swim lessons also. I babysit their dogs when needed. I’m still in touch with my girls and their parents. I’m often a “grandma “ substitute for kids who don’t see their grandparents or have any. I did some house and dog sitting for a family in La Jolla also. I’m the proud grandma of 4: 2,4,10 &14. And the mother of twins. I was a yard duty when my sons were in elementary school in addition to volunteering in both classes. I continued to volunteer with an elementary school teacher for the next 20 years. I developed a relationship with these families. I attended birthdays and later their graduations. Unfortunately Covid was the end of my last nanny job. I have since moved to north county to be closer to the grandkids. I currently work 4 days a week until 1:30. I have some flexibility in case I was needed earlier. I have also self published a book to help young children learn to say polite words. I love young kids and I love spending time with them. There were times when one of them would tell me things they didn’t tell their moms. I became their confidante. However, if I was told something I thought their mom should know, I would tell her. It helped keep mom up to speed without breaking my confidence with the daughter.

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
