Hanna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hanna :) I’m excited to share why I would be the perfect choice for your babysitting needs. I am 26 years old and I am originally from Florida! Moved to San Diego 2 years ago! I’ve always enjoyed babysitting! My background includes not only babysitting but also engaging in creative activities that inspire and entertain young minds. I have a passion for the arts, which means I can offer fun and imaginative activities, from painting and crafting to storytelling and music. I believe that creativity is essential for a child's development, and I love to foster that through playful and educational experiences. Additionally, I am an animal lover and understand the importance of including pets in a child’s life. I can help teach children about responsibility and empathy through caring for animals, making our time together even more enjoyable. Also to bond with your pets as well <3 Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I find joy in their curiosity and imagination and love to be a positive influence in their lives. I’m committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can thrive. I am ready to provide a caring and engaging experience for your little ones. I look forward to the opportunity to be part of your family’s support system!

Tina $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello- My name is Tina and I am a fun-loving person who adores infants, toddlers, school age kids, and yes, teens, too. I am able to provide full time care, even live-in if available (I have a small well-behaved cat who is very shy), and I have a knack for making learning fun and interesting for everyone and I make activities age appropriate. I am GREAT with infants and love helping them get through all the different stages and phases they go through and I have amazing patience. I don't mind running some errands, doing some laundry, cleaning the house in general, assisting with dogs and/or cats, and I pick up after myself. I'm very energetic and am a positive person.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
