Booked by 29 families in La Jolla, CA

Hello! My name is Kinga, and I’m an experienced and dependable babysitter based in La Jolla, San Diego. I’ve spent the last eleven years caring for children of all ages-from infants to elementary school-and I truly love what I do. Along with my nannying background, I’ve also tutored kindergarten through second grade, which has given me a strong foundation in early learning and communication. I have a genuine passion for supporting children with special needs. For the past three years, I’ve worked closely with a 23-year-old with Phelan-McDermid Syndrome, serving as his eyes and ears and assisting with daily living, communication, and safety. This experience has taught me patience, creativity, and how to build trust with individuals who need a little extra support. It’s also a big part of why I’m currently studying social work-I’m committed to making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Families describe me as calm, caring, and intuitive. I enjoy spending time outdoors, crafting, and finding ways to keep kids engaged. I’m reliable, communicative, and focused on creating a safe and positive environment for every child I work with. I am up to date with my vaccines and happy to provide references. I look forward to hearing from you!

“Kinga is extremely reliable, communicative and truly loves spending time with my kiddos. Highly recommend!”

Hi dear families, My name is Cecilia, I’m 31 years old. I’m a part-time babysitter who loves play and learn with children. With 7 years of experience caring for wonderful children of all ages, including infants and toddlers. I am responsible, organized, and kind. I prioritize safety and am also creative with crafts and Montessori activities to help children play and grow through their senses. I love to help my kids to communicate with sign language and if the parents prefer also I love to teach them Spanish words. I am an excellent driver, have completed various childcare courses and training including CPR. I have a couple of families who would be more than happy to share their experience. I look forward to hearing from you. Ceci Monroy

“Ceci was with our family for nearly two years, caring for our son until he started school at 2 years old. The love and patience she showed him every day meant everything to us. She is incredibly attentive and nurturing, always tuned into his needs, and she made his days so full of joy. She came up with the sweetest art projects and playful learning activities that supported his milestones and early education in such a natural, thoughtful way. We always felt complete peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and deeply cared for in her presence. We’ll forever be grateful for the warmth, stability, and love she gave him during such a special chapter of his childhood. She has our full trust and we would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.”

Ada $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Ada, and I would love to work with your family! I have extensive experience working with children -- I spent the last two years working in pediatric behavioral health, on a residential psychiatric unit for children ages 4-12. From this experience, I am very well trained in caring for every type of child, including children with autism, behavioral outbursts, and other challenges. This job, along with my bachelor's degree in Behavioral Neuroscience, gave me a deep understanding of child development and how to properly support a child of any age. I am here to provide structure for your kids while still having a great time! :) Although I have less professional experience with infants, I have babysat several infants over the course of the past 10 years, and am happy to provide references! I am Basic Life Support certified (including CPR, AED, etc.) and have cared for children with seizure disorders, severe allergies, and more. If you are looking for other household assistance (cleaning, laundry, etc.) please let me know! I am happy to help out wherever I can.

"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."

"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)."
