Booked by 1 family in Lemon Grove, CA

My name is Harper, and I am a San Diego State University student studying Musical Theatre with a minor in Business. Alongside my studies, I work in retail, which has strengthened my work ethic, time management, and ability to connect with people. I have over five years of experience working with kids, particularly ages four and up, and was a nanny throughout high school. I love engaging with children, making them smile and laugh, and creating a fun yet safe environment for them to grow. I also have two dogs and a deep love for animals, so I’m more than comfortable caring for pets as well. My passion for caregiving, coupled with my strong sense of responsibility and enthusiasm, makes me a great fit for any family. I am happy to provide references upon request!

Harper has been absolutely great with our 4 year old! She has been punctual, communicative, and attentive!

Booked by 3 families in Lemon Grove, CA

I am a college student pursing a Bachelors of Science and Applied Arts in Child Development at San Diego State University. I have known I have wanted to be an educator since I was a young child therefore in middle school at age 11 I started babysitting my neighbors young kids aged 7, 5, and 3. I babysat them occasionally for about 4 years until I was a sophomore in high school. That year I started working with my drama teacher to help elementary and middle school students find a passion for theater arts and was a day camp counselor at the drama departments summer camp. There I worked with students aged 5-11 for 2 weeks summer of 2022 and 2023. I also worked with 1st grade aged students at my local church from 2[removed] where I lead the students to and from worship and lead them through worship. I have a real passion for working with children and find it as my way to help and support my community. I have always felt drawn to this type of work and feel as though my patience and problem solving skills have really enhanced the way I treat children I work with.

Evelyn was wonderful. patient, and kind.

Booked by 2 families in Lemon Grove, CA

I started working with children when I was 15 as a gymnastics coach for preschool. After that I continued to work with kids, including being a live in nanny, a behavior technician for children on the spectrum and babysitting for different families. I have worked with ages from newborn to middle school. I am very punctual and trustworthy and get along with kids great.

Very professional. This was a small job, but she was committed and had great communication.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
