Samantha $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Samantha, and I’m currently a Public Health major at San Diego State University with plans to become a nurse. I am CPR/BLS certified and truly enjoy caring for and being around children. During the week I work part-time at Javier’s in La Jolla, so I’m looking to help families on my days off. I would describe myself as kind, patient, responsible, clean, attentive, and trustworthy. I understand how important it is to find someone you feel completely comfortable leaving your child with, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and caring environment while giving parents peace of mind. I’m more than happy to answer any questions, provide references, or do whatever I can to help you feel confident and comfortable trusting me with your little ones that you love!

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.

Cassie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Cassie! I am located in La Mesa, CA, and I am looking for part-time or full-time nanny/babysitting opportunities! I am in the final semester of my junior year at San Diego State University, but I will have a very flexible schedule when I begin working in May. If you're looking for responsible, hardworking, and reliable help with your family, I’m your gal! I am an outgoing, active, and experienced caregiver with several years of babysitting experience across numerous families and children of various ages. Most recently, I provided consistent, long-term care from 2021 to 2024 for a family with both an infant and a toddler, and I continued working with families into 2025. During this time, I took care of infants, toddlers, elementary school-age children, and preteens; through these roles, I have developed a strong ability to manage multiple children at once while maintaining a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. I love incorporating art, sports, outdoor activities, and creative play into my time with kids to keep them engaged, active, and having fun. I am happy to help around the house with day-to-day chores such as housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation, and to establish and maintain routines, whether that’s assisting with homework, organizing activities, or supporting daily schedules. I’m very comfortable with all aspects of childcare, including bath time, bedtime routines, and creating a calm, positive environment at the end of the day. And of course, I love all pets! I am CPR and First Aid certified, so I’m always ready to keep your kids safe while still having fun! I have a clean driving record and am comfortable with pickups/drop-offs, attending events, and traveling with the family! I am looking to start consistent care in early to mid-May, indefinitely! I pride myself on being dependable, organized, and attentive, while also bringing a fun, warm, and energetic presence into the home. If I seem like a good fit for your needs and your family, please do not hesitate to reach out with questions or inquiries! Thank you for your time and consideration, Cassie

Alexa $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Alexa. I am 24 years old and have been working in the childcare industry since I was 20. 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. I have an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Development, CPR certification, and experience communicating and working closely with families and team members. I am dependable, patient, hardworking, and always willing to learn and grow professionally.

"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)."
