LVN,. BLS CPR certified. I worked for Healthcare for 25 years, widower. My children are all grown up and married. I’ll be available MAY 8th - 17th all day.
Hi! My name is Jasmine. I’ve been married for 24 years and am a proud mom of two daughters (ages 20 & 15). Born and raised in Carlsbad and now reside in Oceanside. For the past 10 years, I’ve cared for three wonderful boys who have since grown up, and over the years I’ve looked after children of all ages — from infants to teens. Along with childcare, I’ve also cared for my own parents, which gave me experience supporting seniors with kindness and patience. I’ve house-sat, puppy-sat, cleaned homes, and even helped host parties by serving food and tidying up. Families describe me as energetic, positive, and fun. I love playing games, being outdoors, and even heading to the ocean for some fresh air and adventure. Whether it’s caring for your little ones, your furry friends, or offering companionship to a senior, I’ll make sure everyone feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’d love to support your family however I can!
“Jasmine is absolutely wonderful. From the moment my daughter met her, my daughter connected with her instantly. She genuinely engages with our daughter and clearly cares about her well-being. She is kind, reliable, fun, and incredibly trustworthy. She's also communicative and punctual and an absolute pleasure to work with. I couldn't recommend her care more highly.”
Hello, It is very nice to find you here. I began my childcare, elder care, and pet care services as a teenager, and I am now in my mid 50s. I love caring for others and making them feel supported. I have worked with children from infants through high school. As a teen, I was the neighborhood babysitter :-). After I finished college, I became a substitute teacher for grades K-12 and subsequently an elementary school teacher of 2nd grade. Kids are great little people! During my high school years, I was the neighborhood pet sitter. Currently I am able to go to the pet's home to make sure they are taken for walks and fed along with other needs. Dogs, cats, pet rabbits, and other furry creatures are little bundles of love. :-) My elder care experience began with my grandmother who developed Alzheimer's nearly 10 years ago. I took care of her daily living needs, cooking, errands, and social events. I have since had a number of elder care clients who need support in their living space. It gives me great pleasure to know I've made someone else's day better with my caring skills. Looking forward to chatting with you.
“Tanya has helped me run my household several times in a few different capacities over several decades. She was an excellent baby sitter for my son, and I also have trusted her with house and pet sitting. Tanya is reliable, honest and a real pleasure as a person. She is kind, compassionate and attuned. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
Hi! My name’s Tori. I am a college Graduate with a degree in Child Development. Looking for part time/ occasional jobs while I and transition into obtaining my teaching credential.
“My son loved Tori! He wants her to come back again very soon. She was so friendly and even brought paint for an activity. 😊 ”

"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
