Hi, my name is Montse. I received my masters (M.S) in Multicultural Counseling and B.S. in Psychology at SDSU. I currently work as a mental health therapist at a children’s hospital in San Diego. As part of my lifestyle I spend my free time practicing mindfulness, enjoying the outdoors, reading and spending time with family/pets/friends. I have learned how incredibly well all these practices compliment each other. While going to school I worked as a behavior therapist for children on the autism spectrum and spent many years working in after school care programs. On some evenings I enjoy providing child care services. Im a patient, caring, creative, compassionate, reliable, responsible, and fun-natured individual who simply has an affinity for working with children. I am bilingual and fluent in English and Spanish (I love speaking Spanish with kiddos and/or teaching new learners). I enjoy engaging children in story time, peek-a-boo, arts and crafts, music, and other forms of stimulating, educational, age-appropriate play. I also enjoy taking children for walks, to local parks, aquariums, museums, beach, movies, library, and finding free/affordable extra-curricular activities where they can have some age-appropriate experiences. I have many years of experience working with newborns, infants and teens. I have experience with overnights stays. I’m also a mom to a 6-month-old baby. My years of experience working with children makes me very comfortable working with any child. I like to cook and am also a good organizer. I can do light cleaning and run any other household errands that are needed. I am extremely pet friendly (as I have a dogs and a cat at home) so there is no need to keep pets away while I am sitting. I am all up-to-date on all of my immunizations and am CPR and first aid certified so you can always feel at ease when your children are in my care. I also have a California driver's license, an excellent driving record and a reliable car. I do not smoke and live in a smoke free home. I am LGBTQIA+ friendly and affirming. Thank you for considering me as a potential caregiver for your family. I look forward to connecting! Booking Terms: I require a minimum of 3-4 hours per booking (depending on location). Please note, I charge for the full length of the booked time, even if you return home early. By sending a booking request, you agree to these terms. Thank you for your understanding!
My name is Shireen. I graduated from UCLA, and I’m currently in nursing school at CSUSM. I work really well with kids, I enjoy playing and taking care of them. I am a responsible and reliable young lady. I have been babysitting/ nannying for 9 years with all ranges of age. I have been used to kids my whole life because I come from a big family. I have 4 siblings, and I used to take care of my little siblings since I was 12 years old. I can help tutor, play with them, and be a good role model. I love being a good influence towards children, and I have a passion for caring about them. I would treat them just like if I were to have my own kid. If you have anymore questions feel free to contact me!
“Shireen was so great with our daughters on our date night and we really appreciate how much time she spent playing and doing crafts with them! They can't wait to see her again! ”

"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."
