Hi everyone! My name is Cauanny and I just recently got accepted to UCSD to finish my studies in clinical psychology! As a previous after-school kindergarten teacher, I grew my experience with children as little as Pre-K to 6th grade, and also with different behaviors and spectrum placements. I was the lead kindergarten teacher who ran my own classroom as well as created the curriculum taught M-F. I genuinely love to work with children and strongly believe that teaching a child with love and patience is the ultimate key to seeing growth. I come with several references, and have spent lots of time babysitting, volunteering working in school environments, having experience with the elderly as well as having my own two younger siblings whom I helped raise. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me! I look forward to potentially working together and being part of the day to day of your family :)
Hello! My name is Mari. I’m a 65-year-old retired and widowed teacher living in a peaceful, gated community in Chula Vista (91910). I’m CPR certified and have a lifelong love for children, along with a passion for arts and crafts. I’ve raised four children, including one with significant disabilities who is now a thriving adult. Through that journey, I’ve gained not only deep parenting experience but also a great deal of patience, adaptability, and compassion—qualities I bring into my child care. I’m currently offering full-time child care for one child under the age of 5. Your child will be cared for in a safe, calm, and structured home environment where they’ll receive personalized attention, healthy meals, and fun, age-appropriate learning activities. I’m available Monday through Friday and am happy to work with your work schedule to provide consistency and peace of mind. While I don’t offer transportation, I’m committed to following your routines and any special preferences you have for your child’s care and development. The monthly rate is $950, which includes full-day care, meals, and learning enrichment. If you’re looking for a safe, experienced, and reliable caregiver, I would love to connect with you. Warmly, Mari 📍 Chula Vista, CA 91910
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.
Hi! I am Kiki. I grew up near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and moved to San Diego for school 3 years ago. I will be a senior at San Diego State University. I have been babysitting since I was 16. I have babysat newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids. My responsibilities have included driving them to and from school and sports, making dinner, playing with the kids, and cleaning the house.
Hi! I’m Gillie, a recent nursing graduate from Dominican University of California with extensive hands-on caregiving experience and a passion for working with children and families. Throughout my education I completed over 1,000 hours of clinical training, including maternal-newborn and family-centered care, which strengthened my understanding of child development, safety, and compassionate caregiving. I’ve worked with families as a nanny, babysitter, and in-home caregiver, caring for children of different ages and helping with daily routines like meals, bedtime, homework, playtime, and school pick-ups. I love creating a fun, engaging, and structured environment where kids feel safe, supported, and excited to learn and explore. Caregiving has always come naturally to me because I genuinely enjoy building relationships with families and being someone parents can trust with their children. I’m patient, attentive, and very safety-focused, while also making sure kids have a great time—whether that’s outdoor adventures, crafts, reading, or creative play. A little about me personally: I’m very active, positive, and responsible. I love being outdoors, cooking, and spending time with animals. Families often describe me as warm, dependable, and someone who brings calm and good energy into their home. I’m excited to connect with families looking for a reliable and caring nanny! 👶✨

"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."
