Booked by 1 family in National City, CA

Hello, my name is Alexis but most people call me Alex and I have had over 15 years of experience taking care of animals, children, and a couple seniors to support myself through college. I’ve taken care of one main household for over 13 years and I love their children and animals as if they are my own. At client’s request I am happy to do light housecleaning, cooking, school pick up or drop off, administer medications, and take care of their pets needs as well. I thrive on taking care of the community in a multitude of ways over the years, but taking care of children and animals brings me the most joy.

Booked by 1 family in National City, 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!

Hi! My name is Morgan, and I have a BA in Education and minor in Psychology. I’m currently in graduate school pursuing my Masters in School Counseling. I'm offering child care, pet care, and household services. I've babysat a variety of kids and I've loved every moment. My responsibilities as a caregiver have included school pick up/drop off, driving to extracurricular activities, making snacks/meals/bottles, engaging in developmentally appropriate activities, putting to sleep/naps, changing diapers, homework help, and basic crafts. I am musically inclined, a great game creator and player, and very patient. I am also super welcoming to families with fur babies! I have 7 of my own and they're the best to be around. I am also available to work for household services such as cooking, house sitting, or running errands. p.s. willing to negotiate pricing depending on age of children and other factors :)

Booked by 10 families in National City, CA

Hi I’m Evalina I offer childcare, Senior care, Pet care as well as house sitting and occasional cleaning if needed. I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 15 so about 10 years. From infants to teenagers. I was valedictorian in high school so I don’t mind tutoring or helping with homework. I’ve watched 8 kids at once so I’m fine with big families. Watched twins newborns so always ready to jump in and help. I have no pet allergies so If you have animals thats fine I have experience with lots of breeds of dogs and even cats as well as many different reptiles. At the moment I do not have a car but I’m always early as you can check from previous reviews there will be no problem with me being reliable and on time.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
