Evan $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Evan! I recently completed my clinical doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine and am currently studying for my board exams. While I work on getting licensed, I'm offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household support. I've been babysitting since high school and have cared for everyone from infants to teens. I also spent four years as an in-home caregiver for adults and teens with physical and developmental disabilities. I am comfortable caring for elders as well. I'm a calm, patient, and reliable person. I'm also creative and love doing arts and crafts with kids, cooking nourishing meals, and tidying and organizing spaces. I have a car which allows me to run occasional errands as well as school pick ups / drop offs. I'm certified in pediatric and adult CPR/First Aid, and my clinical background gives me a strong foundation in health, safety, and holistic wellness for all ages. I'm a huge animal lover and have lots of experience caring for dogs as well as smaller pets like birds, lizards, and fish. I love caregiving because it feels good to help others in a way that feels real, direct, and tangible. I especially enjoy being around younger kids. I find their sense of wonder, play, and curiosity so inspiring.

Robin $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Robin! I have extensive experience in childcare; I’ve worked as a swim instructor for the YMCA, an overnight camp counselor for Girl Scouts of San Diego, and I have been volunteering at Sandburg Elementary School as an Assistant Teacher for coming up on 3 years now. I have worked with a wide age range of children as young as 6 months and as old as 17, and am comfortable with all ages. I love working with kids and find that kids love working with me! I grew up with dogs all my life, so I am very experienced with caring for dogs, and I have a deep love and appreciation for all animals so I am very open to caring for all pets. I am a great cook and a better baker; I have been told to open up a restaurant or bakery many times and am very comfortable with meal prepping if needed. I live by the principle that you should always leave a place better than how you found it, and I have no problem tidying up around the house if needed. I do not have experience caring for seniors but I am a fast learner and have no problem doing so. I love to dance, play games, read, go on long walks and adventures, and I am a big believer in keeping the magic of a child’s childhood and would love to organize a craft or safe adventure (like an in-house scavenger hunt!) to help foster their imagination and keep their brains active. Ultimately, I am a sponge and I will adjust my care and approach according to whatever your needs for your child are, and whatever parenting style you enforce at home so that I can be of help however you need! CPR, First Aid, and BLS Certified. Non-smoker

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in La Jolla, CA

I helped babysit my siblings growing up. I also watched over my cousins and children of relatives from time to time since I was a teenager. I recently have taken care of disabled siblings and have taken care of old people with illnesses. I find taking care of children rewarding and easy. They don’t require too much they just have different personalities that you need to adapt to.

“Outstanding sitter for our baby boy!”

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
