Sulema $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sulema! I am the mother of a 5-year-old girl, and I have also been caring for children and babies since I was 14 years old. I offer care services for babies, children, pets, and adults. I worked as a restaurant cook for over three years, so I can help prepare meals; I can also assist with light housework, run errands, and pick up children from school. I can teach a little Spanish, and I am open to taking on other tasks as well. I do not have any animal allergies and I love them, so I am perfectly comfortable working with families who have pets.

$30 per hour for 1 child

Booked by 51 families in El Cajon, CA

Hello! My name is Dina, I love children and believe they are such a blessing. I’m playful with the little ones and adore cuddles with infants. I have recent and extended experience with both. I have part time, full time, occasional and overnight availability. My experience has been with all ages for over 25 years. Five of those years, my experience have been working at a non-profit organization as a child care provider with all ages, including twins! My preference is working for families who offer long term positions. One word that describes me is reliable, I’m extremely reliable and you can rest assured that you can depend on me. I’m also looking for a family that will offer guaranteed hours. I am also up to date with Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED / American Red Cross. Thank you and blessings on your search! Dina

“Dina was really wonderful - she has a calming presence and was great with my 3 year old daughter. I hope to use Dina as a nanny in the future!”

5.0 average star rating from total of 2,034 reviews in El Cajon, CA

"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."

Amy L., mom of one

"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

"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)."
