Booked by 95 families in Big Sur, CA

Hello my name is Laura. I have been babysitting ever since I was in middle school and through out college (19). I am an only child, so never had siblings to play on my own. I have always treated the children in my care as if they were my own family. My education background is a B.S in child development and a minor in psychology from Cal Poly SLO and a AA degree from MPC in Child Development. Personally I love taking care of children because it is so much making crafts with them and seeing how they see the world in their eyes.

Booked by 1 family in Big Sur, CA

Hi! My name is Nicole and I am a current Speech-Language Pathology Masters student at CSUMB. I graduated with my BS in Child Development from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in June of 2025 and have 10 years of nannying/babysitting experience. I am passionate about individualized care and have a thorough knowledge of social, emotional, and physical needs across development. I am looking for part time and occasional care positions and would love to connect if I seem like a good fit for your family!

“Nicole is new to urban sitter because she just moved to Monterey from grad school. She is wonderful! We were visiting for a weekend and she watched our three young girls for the evening. Nicole was prompt, equally comfortable with an infant and school age kids … we regret that we live far away and won’t catch Nicole regularly!”

Booked by 1 family in Big Sur, CA

Hi! My name is Olivia and I am currently a full-time graduate student at California State University, Monterey Bay, studying Speech-Language Pathology with the goal of being a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist for children with special needs. I am CPR-BLS certified and can provide you with my certificate! I have worked with children ranging from infants to teenagers for almost a decade! In the past five years, I have worked as a lead teacher for after-school group care at elementary schools throughout San Luis Obispo, and most recently as an assistant teacher at a special-needs preschool with children ages 2-5. Currently as I’m in school, I’ve been doing several babysitting jobs on the weekends through an agency that has a partnership with hotels in the area. Additionally, I have experience and a deep passion towards caring for children with special needs, including but not limited to the autism spectrum, Down syndrome, and other behavioral needs, as well as familiarity with children using augmentative and alternative communication devices (AAC). I strongly believe that every child deserves nothing less than top notch care and advocacy for their unique needs. I’m also a huge supporter of creativity and the arts! I received my bachelor’s degree in 2024 from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo in Studio Arts (painting and drawing), and have taught various art camps and classes for kids ages 3-14 including painting, ceramics, papier-mâché, and more. I’m a pet lover and have two dogs of my own! I’m happy to help with feeding, walking, playing, or just keeping them company. I understand that your children are your greatest gift, and thank you so much for trusting me with that care. I look forward to meeting you!

“Olivia was wonderful! We were staying at Carmel valley ranch and she came over to watch two of our kids. ”

Kari 1 review
$24 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Kari! I am a graduate student at CSUMB and a Navy veteran. I have always enjoyed fostering loving and fun environments for children starting when I was a Girl Scout camp counselor in my teens, to babysitting and nannying after my time in the Navy, until now after having my own son! Some of my favorite activities to do with children are arts / crafts, beach days, aquarium visits, gardening, library story times, etc! I am CPR and basic life support (for adults and infants) certified and recently took the recertification course. I have advanced knowledge of combat casualty care as well. I have base and commissary access if needed for your situation. I am very good with all kinds of animals of all kinds of temperament.

“Kari is an AMAZING sitter/nanny. I was having some consistency issues with my current daycare because the lady running our daycare was dealing with some doctors appointments, and THANK GOD I had Kari to help with those days I didn’t have care for my son. I wish I could have switched to Kari all together, but unfortunately it just wouldn’t work for my schedule and it’s the only reason she isn’t our full time care. She was fully engaged with my son, she followed our schedule to the second, she fed him great food, all whole foods all very healthy, she even washed his clothes when he got them wet. She even took the kids to the beach! My son had soooo much fun with her. She’s an amazing mom and and amazing caregiver. She is the kost impressive sitter I have ever used and my son loves her so much.”
