Hello families! I'm a friendly, energetic Nanny who loves staying active—whether it's taking kids to the park, going on walks, or enjoying quiet time indoors with books and building blocks. My goal is to provide high-quality childcare for busy parents and offer peace of mind knowing your little ones are safe, happy, and well cared for. I've been working with children since I was thirteen, starting as a camp counselor at summer and sports camps, and volunteering with outreach programs. I have five years of experience as a professional nanny. For the past two years, I’ve also worked as an EMT while pursuing a career in nursing. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including infants as young as six weeks old. Also I love cats and dogs! :) Thank you for taking the time to read my profile—I look forward to connecting with you and your family!

“Kelli is a true blessing! My son instantly loved her and she really did an amazing job in both caring for my son and making us feel comfortable. Will certainly welcome her to sit for us again when she’s available! ”

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 :) *

My name is Shireen. I graduated from UCLA, and I’m currently in nursing school at CSUSM. I work really well with kids, I enjoy playing and taking care of them. I am a responsible and reliable young lady. I have been babysitting/ nannying for 10 years with all ranges of age. I have been used to kids my whole life because I come from a big family. I have 4 siblings, and I used to take care of my little siblings since I was 12 years old. I can help tutor, play with them, and be a good role model. I love being a good influence towards children, and I have a passion for caring about them. I would treat them just like if I were to have my own kid. If you have anymore questions feel free to contact me!

Hi families!! I'm a 21-year-old senior nursing student at Point Loma Nazarene University. I'm BLS CPR certified and have over 300 hours of clinical experience through my nursing program!

Hi I’m Lena. I’ll take great care of your children! As a mom to a teen daughter and many, many years of child care and nannying experience, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from newborns to teenagers. I understand from experience how important it is to find someone you can truly trust, and I always want to make sure your children feel safe, happy, and engaged while in my care. Whether it’s playing games, reading, doing crafts, or just having fun by letting them be kids, I love creating a nurturing environment. I’m very reliable, patient, and will treat your children as if they were my own, (probably better actually 😁) I also can run errands do house cleaning and cooking. Looking forward to caring for your precious family.

“Lena was so great and easy to work and communicate with! Our 15 month old really enjoyed their time together ”
