Booked by 56 families in Encinitas, CA

Hello parents and families! I am a graduate of Howard University and a Tech professional in the Chicago / Gold Coast area. I am interested in establishing relationships with families here looking for weekend/weeknight/ date night/ and occasional sitting jobs. I would be interested in both consistent work or one-time sitting jobs. I've been babysitting and nannying for over 20 years with children of all ages (starting as early as 2 months spanning up to 14 years) including special needs children, and volunteered at my community church in the pre-k/first grade department. I am the oldest of four children and I'm 9 years apart from the youngest, so I am very familiar with large family dynamics and busy households. I also grew up with two dogs so my house was always bustling with energy. I love children, and I'm open to assisting in family activities as well (errands, outings, etc.). I also have experience housesitting and pet-sitting for families on vacation. I'm willing to assist with any cooking, cleaning, and school-related tasks. I have a pretty open availability evening and weekends, and can be flexible if given enough notice. Feel free to ask me any questions regarding past/current experience and availability!

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!

"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."

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)."
