I'm a dependable and caring animal lover who enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm responsible, attentive to detail, and always strive to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable care and regular updates.
Hi! My name is Diana, I currently work as an infant teacher at a preschool. Have been working here for 5 years, I love working with kids. I also have 2 fur babies that I love! I love going to spend time with them and going on walks to the beach. I also babysit on the weekends for families from the school whenever I can(:
“As a teacher at our daycare, Ms. Diana did a great job of caring for our baby boy. She led the arts and crafts activities and we always looked forward to our son bringing home a new creative art piece. She is communicative, responsive, and reliable. We look forward to having Diana babysit!”
My name is Anna Teresa. I am a 22 year old female. I have my CPR and first aid training. I always enjoy meeting new personalities, whether it's children, seniors, or pets. I am very patient and try my best to prioritize whoever I am watching's safety. I have worked with babies 7 months-11 years old, but I am open to taking care of a different range of ages. I currently work with adults that are on the spectrum Monday-Friday from 8am-3:30pm but I am available during the evenings and weekends! For animals, I have always grown up with animals in my home. From fish, to hamsters, dogs, and even a chinchilla. I also have experience taking care of cats.
“We had a wonderful experience with Anna caring for our dog for over a week. Our dog took to her immediately, which is unusual. She sent us lots of photos while we were away and you could tell that our pup was happy. We have already booked her again. Thanks, Anna!!!”
I’m a San Diego native and new to UrbanSitter. I am looking to help you and your family out. I have experience babysitting and coaching kids. I grew up playing basketball, soccer, flag football, and ran track . I’m very active and like to reflect that in my care. I’m great with kids and make every experience a learning opportunity. It’s never too early start. I’m active so I love getting the little ones involved with extra curricular activities. I’m always open for a phone conversation or a FaceTime! I can assure your little ones will be in good hands. It would be an honor to partake in your childcare.
“Fantastic sitter! She covered for us in the clutch and did a great job. Our kids love her , everyone felt comfortable and we instantly felt like we’ve known her for a long time. ”
Hi I’m Lauren! I am an engineer by trade, and a loving aunt by life! I’m currently here to help support my sister while she needs babysitting help. Thank you!
“Warm, friendly, and great with kids (and pets)!”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
