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. ”
