Hi! I'm the oldest of five kids in my family and absolutely love kids! I am currently in a master of occupational therapy program at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences and hope to become a pediatric OT. I have worked for the past year as a registered behavior technician in an ABA therapy clinic with kids with autism in both clinic and school settings. I am CPR certified and have my RBT certification. Before I moved to this area, I nannied for a family with three kids for the last 5 years and served in the nursery and disabilities ministry for my church with kids ages 8 months to 13 years old. I also have coached club beach volleyball for kids ages elementary through high school for the past 4 years. In addition to nannying, I can cook, run errands, help out with homework, and provide transportation to school or extracurricular activities. I love to make up fun games, do crafts, and play outside with the kids I nanny! My friends would describe me as happy, kind, organized, and compassionate!
“Violet was awesome! The kids started playing with her right away I felt confident she was taking great care of them. When I got home they asked if she would come again. I would definitely recommend her!”
Hi parents! My name is Ines, and I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, starting as the go-to babysitter in my neighborhood back in Germany. Working with kids has always been a natural fit for me. When I turned 18, I spent six months as an au pair in Canberra, Australia, where I cared for three energetic boys between the ages of 3 and 9. I planned and carried out their weekly routines, handled grocery shopping, cooked meals, and supported the family with whatever they needed. This experience taught me how to stay calm, organized, patient, and flexible in a busy household. I genuinely love spending time with children and recently became an aunt. I’ve cared for my baby niece since she was just a few months old, and it’s been such a joy to be part of her early life. I’m originally from Germany, speak fluent English, and I have a Green Card. My American husband and I live in Vista, where I also work part-time in retail. Because of my work schedule, I’m fully available Mondays and Thursdays from morning to evening. A few extra things about me: -I absolutely love animals and am happy to help with pet care. - I have a valid driver’s license and am a confident, safe driver. - I’m an easygoing, cheerful person who laughs a lot and brings a positive, relaxed energy to every home. - I enjoy meeting new people and know tons of card and board games for all ages. - I’m very outdoorsy and active — nature and sports are a big part of my life. I’d love to support your family and get to know your little ones. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
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.
Hello! My name is Trinity and I am one out of four children. I am firsy generation, Vietnamese, and have immensely helped my mother raise my three brothers. I love taking care of others, but also teaching kids (all ages) right from wrong, respect, and implementing the act of character development. I do currently study Business Management at CSULB and graduated high-school with a 4. 5GPA. I hope to gain more experience with children and help take some stress off your hands! I'd describe my personality as friendly, social, sophisticated. In my spare time, I like to go to gym, cook, listen to music, hangout with my girls! I also love going on adventures and parks. One thing you should know about me is I am very flexible and I stand on respect, loyalty, and communication. I am also happy to relieve any anxieties with extra introductions, etc.

"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."
