Hi, my name is Madeline! I love working with and caring for children and am excited to meet your family. I have experience babysitting children from a couple months old through elementary school-age. I am a speech-language pathologist and work in both an elementary school and in early intervention with children ages 15 months-3 years old. I am CPR certified, I am comfortable around cats and dogs, and I have reliable transportation.
“Madeline did a wonderful job taking care of my 9 month old son. They had fun reading books, singing songs, and dancing together. I appreciated her good communication and quick replies. She also has helpful insight on speech questions, given her speech pathologist expertise. I will definitely be booking her again!”
My name is Sheila ! I am originally from San Francisco California, but currently a senior at San Diego State. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I worked at my school’s child center for both semesters last year. I was placed in an infant classroom where I worked with 10-18 month olds. I have my CPR certification as well. I am willing to do small house chores/ extra home activities but pay is negotiable on that aspect depending on what you’d like me to do.
I am a mother of 2 and now grandmother to the most precious baby girl. I am a team member at our church where I teach Sunday school in the toddler room and love kids.
Looking for a part time or full time nanny/babysitter? I have a master's degree in child development, along with over 11 experience working with infants, toddlers, and children in a variety of settings. I love to share activities like stories, art, music, yoga, cooking, and other enriching activities. I also have a degree in music and can incorporate piano, guitar, ukulele, etc. :) I also have excellent references.

Hi! I’m Leila and I’m currently a sophomore and psychology major at SDSU. I am offering child care and senior care. I love kids with my whole heart. At home, in the Bay Area, I work at an elementary and middle school. During the year I worked in the after school program with kids ranging from kindergarten to 8th grade and during the summer I teach art at the summer camp! I have a little sister that I have always taken care of. We are 8 years apart but super close. We love to draw, read, and go to the beach together. I have done volunteering at multiple senior homes. There, I helped to cook, organize and engage in art activities, lead bingo, and took them on walks. I am comfortable with driving to appointments as well or other tasks. My grandparents are close by in Los Angeles and I try to visit them as much as I can. Recently, at college I have enjoyed cooking and baking. On my own time, I love to draw. I’m always happy to do art with whoever I am spending time with! I love to read as well. At my school job, I tutored the younger kids in reading and math. Also, I love all pets and I am happy to have pet responsibilities as well. At home, I have a dog, a cat, and some fish. I am very organized, kind, and patient. I handle issues quickly and have good time management. This semester, I have a busy schedule but I have free time in the late afternoon and evening on Monday and Wednesday. On Tuesday and Thursday, I am free in the evening. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I am free at any time!

"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."
