Booked by 2 families in National City, CA

I’m an experienced childcare professional with over seven years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I’ve been both a live-in and full-time nanny, and I’ve supported multiple families over the years with everything from daily routines to developmental activities. I also worked as an after-school program leader for middle school students, giving me strong skills in homework support, behavior management, and creating fun, structured activities. I have experience with children from 2 months up to 12 years old, and I’m confident handling schedules, meal prep, light cleaning, naps, school pick-ups, and creating a safe, warm environment. I’m very organized, reliable, and clean, and I have my own car with a valid driver’s license. I am also CPR certified/infant first aid certified. I love helping families feel supported and making sure their kids feel cared for, engaged, and comfortable!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in National City, CA

Hi! My name is Allie and I graduated from SDSU in May and got my degree in sociology. I absolutely love working with kids and have had experience with all ages starting at around 4 months all the way up to middle school. I have my own form of transportation and love pets! I am very interested in going back to school to get my Masters in Social Work so in the mean time I am looking to use my creativity and energy to help be a fun nanny for families!

“Allie was great! She helped us out with last-minute babysitting for our 2-year-old when we were in a bind. She was communicative, friendly, engaging, and inspired trust. She was great with my daughter. After she left, my toddler, unprompted, told me, "I had fun with Allie." I'd recommend her and would hire her again!”

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.

"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."

"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)."
