I have experience working with children through volunteering and tennis camps, where I helped teach skills, supervise activities, and support a safe, fun environment. I’ve also volunteered with a non-profit organization supporting children through engagement and care. I have experience with pets through volunteering at animal shelters and from owning a dog. I enjoy caregiving because I like creating a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment for children and pets. I’m dependable, patient, and calm under pressure. In my free time, I enjoy staying active, especially through sports like tennis.
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!
Hello, my name is Ava and I am a current freshman studying business at San Diego State. I am a middle child of 6 kids. I have 3 younger siblings and 2 older. I often take care of my younger siblings, some who used to be newborns. I have also been babysitting in my old neighborhood since I was 13 years old. Additionally, I have done volunteer work at orphanages in Peru.
*Please note: If a job is at a hotel you are responsible for parking fees.

I have worked with children for over 15 years. I'm a student working on getting my degree in Journalism. I have taken some child development classes focusing on children art. I have experience working with children of all ages. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Hi! My name is Francine! I'm an experienced, CPR-certified preschool teacher, nanny and babysitter with 20 years of childcare under my belt. I graduated from SDSU in Liberal Studies for Elementary School Teaching. I teach 2-3 year olds at a day school Monday-Friday and babysit on evenings and weekends. I am also a nationally registered EMT! Childcare has always been my passion. I started babysitting as a young teen 20 years ago, watching my little sister when she was a baby. While I attended college for teaching, I worked as a child development & special education assistant for the SD Unified School District. My focus was on helping children with autism and special needs. I have been on Urbansitter since they first launched in San Diego in 2012. This is where I discovered my love for working 1-on-1 with children. I’ve babysat for well over 150 San Diego repeat families through Urbansitter. I specialize in caring for infants and toddlers, but I have worked with children of all age ranges from newborns to middle schoolers. Besides my work in several classrooms, I've also worked as a summer camp counselor at Camp Jaycee and a circus coach for pre-schoolers at Fern Street Circus after-school program. I have done full-time nannying for five amazing families, watching their children grow from infants to intelligent pre-schoolers and kindergarteners. I enjoy being outdoors and doing fun activities like going to local parks or travelling to Balboa Park or the San Diego Zoo. I have a pass to several museums in Balboa Park, so I love to take my toddlers along for fun adventures. I love drawing, painting, and making things from clay. I am also quite the video game nerd and would love to pretend to lose to your kids 😆. I also LOVE pets, so there's no need to keep your animal pals locked up while I'm sitting. I live near Golden Hill, but I work in all parts of the San Diego area. Please note that I have a 3-hour minimum for areas that are north of the 56 freeway. My 20 years of experience working with children make me very comfortable working with any child. There is no situation that I am unable to take on in a cool, calm and collected manner. Thanks for considering me as your sitter! I look forward to hearing from you! *Note: I no longer accept unpaid in-person interviews. However, I am available for FaceTime or Zoom meetings free of charge. Thanks for your understanding :) *

"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!"
