Hello! My name is Reece, and I am available for babysitting, childcare, transportation, and summer nanny positions before I leave for Southern Methodist University (SMU) this fall. I recently graduated from Cathedral Catholic High School with a 4.2 GPA and have spent much of my high school career working with children of all ages in leadership, mentoring, camp, and volunteer roles. I am CPR, First Aid, and Lifeguard certified, and safety is always my top priority. Last summer, I served as a Junior Counselor at Gold Arrow Camp, where I completed leadership training, supervised children ages 7–8, led activities, managed conflicts, and ensured campers felt safe, included, and engaged. I have also worked as a counselor at Helen Woodward Critter Camp and volunteered extensively through the Miracle League of San Diego, helping children and adults with special needs participate in sports and recreational activities. In addition, I have served as a mentor through Cathedral Catholic’s Options Program, assisting students with physical and developmental disabilities both academically and socially. These experiences have taught me patience, responsibility, adaptability, and how to connect with children of different ages and personalities. Outside of childcare, I have been a varsity dance team captain, competitive dancer, and active community volunteer. I love staying active and enjoy playing games, doing crafts, swimming, spending time outdoors, and helping kids have fun while staying safe and engaged. I have reliable transportation and drive a safe Audi Q5, making me available for camp drop-offs, activity transportation, errands, and other family needs. I am dependable, energetic, and genuinely enjoy working with children. References are available upon request, and I would love the opportunity to support your family this summer!
Hi There! My name is Kaily and I’m a 23 year old who just graduated from CSUSM. I’m returning back to school to pursue a master’s in Speech Language Pathology. I specialize in childcare and have worked with the ages 2-12 since I was 16. A few jobs that I have done include driving to and from school, crafts, tutoring, and housesitting. I grew up with animals and have the ability to care for any if need be. Thank you so much and I look forward to speaking with you soon!
Hello! My name is Ivadny, I’m 22, and I’m a responsible & caring caregiver with 3 years of babysitting experience and experience working with over 20+ families and children of various ages. I’m currently a Health Sciences student, which has strengthened my focus on safety, organization, and communication. I enjoy creating a fun, calm, and structured environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, meals, bedtime routines, homework, and pets. I speak English and Spanish.
Hello! My name is Jenny. I have my BA in preschool education. I am also married and have two children age 22 and 27. During my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends either going for a walk in our neighborhood with our dog or preparing a nice meal for everyone to enjoy at home. I am passionate about children and feel its very important to provide a safe ,comfortable and very happy environment !
I’m a super auntie who has loved caring for kids since I was a teenager! I raised my two nieces from infancy and I absolutely adore every moment with children. I work comfortably with infants all the way up to teens. For years I ran an after-school playground program with 75–100 kids, where I worked with all kinds of personalities and backgrounds. I’m patient, attentive, and believe love and kindness come first. I love helping children work through their feelings and problems in a gentle way — kids have such amazing perspectives and they teach us so much! I’m also happy to lend a hand with light housework, elderly care, or pets. Whether it’s playing, doing homework, or just being a warm, reliable presence, I bring fun and care to every family. I’d love to meet yours! 💕

"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."
