Betsy $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Betsy, and I’m a fully qualified preschool teacher and experienced caregiver based in San Diego. I’ve been working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers for over a year now, starting just 3 days after high school graduation. My love for childcare started with my high school daycare internship and now i am a lead teacher in a Reggio-inspired, play-based program, along with being part-time babysitter/nanny to multiple families via my babysitting website. I love helping children learn through creativity, sensory play, outdoor exploration, and encouraging independence. I’ve babysat and worked with a wide range of ages, including infants through school-aged kids, and I’m comfortable supporting routines, potty training, emotional regulation, and gentle redirection. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, Mandated Reporter trained, and have completed 12+ ECE units. Families describe me as nurturing, patient, and fun — and I’m always excited to bring activities, structure, and warmth into your child’s day. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

Throughout my experience, I have had the opportunity to work with children ranging from as young as three months old through four years old. I was part of a continuity-of-care program, which allowed me to build strong, lasting relationships with the same children and families for up to two years as they grew and developed. I began my experience working with infants and later transitioned into toddler and preschool classrooms. I have a passion for creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported and encouraged to learn.

Evan $21 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.

"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)."
