Find a last-minute babysitter in Lemon Grove, CA

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 :) *

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!

Hello... I am a mature lady with abundant energy and fun-loving disposition...I am a very experienced babysitter... Mother of six /Grandmother, too! I live in Santee but occasionally spend time in La Jolla or Laguna Niguel at my children’s homes and when I do I apply for work in those areas, as well as, when I am at home in Santee🙂 I loved spending many years helping my grown children by taking care of their little ones💗while they were working! Besides helping them out I experienced a great deal of happiness being with my grandchildren! Here in California I have two beautiful Grand-daughters that I love spending time with when their busy schedules permit! I am on call for babysitting on date night for my kids and the families I babysit for, also! I have movie night on some Fridays with my 10 year old and 13 year old Grand-sons! A little something about me: I'm from Maine, and have resided in some awesome cities, such as, Palm Beach, San Francisco, Los Angeles, where I've had the great pleasure of singing with the Agape choir, performing with talented artists like John Legend, and now currently living in San Diego! I am a published artist, love theater, and have especially loved watching my six kids grow into successful, creative, kind, individuals! I have plenty of available time for babysitting and babysitting for families who need child care is a continuation of doing what I love to do... So far most of the families I have done babysitting for have paid me in cash....which is my preference! Would that work for you? I am often paid by Venmo or Zelle and that is fine, as well🙂 I do have some availability in my schedule and would like to discuss the specifics of what you will be requiring to meet the needs of your family! Sad to say but because of the high cost of gas I’ve had to increase my rate from $18 to $20 for one child & $25 for two or more children, also, I have to require a 4 hour minimum☹️ I look forward to hearing from you! Have a great day! Carol🌷

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! 😊 My name is Alyssa, and I’m a 27-year-old kindergarten teacher who recently moved to San Diego. I’ve been babysitting for about 9 years while living in San Francisco, and I’m excited to start building meaningful, trusting connections with families here in SD. I’m a fun, energetic, and caring sitter with experience caring for children of all ages—from newborns to teens. I genuinely love spending time with kids through reading stories, playing games, doing crafts, and creating engaging activities that feel both fun and safe. I’m currently teaching kindergarten, so I’m available for weeknight and weekend babysitting. I have a reliable car and clean driving record if transportation is needed, and I’m CPR certified for both infants and adults. If you’re looking for a warm, dependable sitter who truly enjoys working with children, I’d love to connect. Feel free to message me with any questions—thank you! 💛
