Jacqueline $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Jacqueline, a warm, reliable, and professional nanny with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. I currently care for an 8-year-old boy about 10 hours a week and am looking to connect with more families. In the past, I’ve supported a busy household with four children (ages 2–11), helping with after-school care, bedtime routines, and date nights. I’ve also traveled with families and am comfortable with overnights. I have my own transportation and love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for kids. Excellent references available!

Kleis $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kleis, and I'm looking for a full-time nanny position in the San Diego area. I'm based in the East Village, near Downtown, but I'm more than willing to travel! I've worked with kids for eight years, since I was 14; I'm 22 now. I started out babysitting for family and friends and have worked with kids of all ages. I am very comfortable with pets and am more than happy to help out with household work, whether that be cleaning, meal prep, etc. I recently graduated from UCSD with my bachelor's degree, and I also speak conversational Spanish. I'm available for full-time or part-time work, as well as the occasional date night or weekend babysitting- my schedule is very flexible! I'd love to connect and see if I may be a good fit for your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Booked by 1 family in La Mesa, 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!

Alicia $40 per hour for 1 child

I’m a Household Manager and caregiver with several years of experience supporting private families in the Bay Area. I help with childcare, schedules, errands, home organization, and daily routines, always bringing calm, reliability, and attention to detail. I’m naturally proactive, organized, and nurturing. Families describe me as someone they fully trust — dependable, discreet, and easy to be around. I truly enjoy creating a smooth, supportive environment where both parents and children feel cared for. I also have a background in administrative support and digital tools, which helps me stay organized and assist with a variety of household and personal tasks. I’m looking for a long-term position where I can grow with a family and be a positive, steady presence in their lives.

Paloma 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

I have been a Childcare Provider for two years 1/2, and have developed a deep passion for working with children. I enjoy engaging with their happy energy and creating fun, enriching activities that keep them engaged and learning. Equally important, I provide families with reliable support and peace of mind, allowing them time to rest or attend to their personal needs. Families trust that their children are safe, well-cared for, and supported in a nurturing environment whenever I am present.

Hello, I highly recommend Paloma. She is friendly, highly reliable, never late and always on time. My kids love her and look forward to seeing her. She's also a mother so she knows the wants and needs of children. The best caregiver yet!

"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)."
