Hannah $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Hannah and I recently moved to San Diego from Florida. I’ve worked in childcare and education for over 10 years as a nanny, substitute teacher, special education aid, and currently work as a part time art teacher here in SD. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Florida State University and have a thorough understanding as well as hands on experience with children who have developmental differences (autism, ADHD, etc.). I am deeply passionate about teaching kiddos self expression and emotional regulation through art and creativity. I have experience working with all ages, from newborn to adolescents, and am able to assess what each individual child needs to feel safe and comfortable while in my care. *CPR Certified *Trained in First Aid *Trained in Classroom Management/Emotional Regulation techniques *Fully Vaxxed

Sorng $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Kim — a caring, dependable Career Nanny with a little “Mary Poppins” magic! ☂️✨ My profile may still display my previous name, Sorng, but my name has been legally changed to Kimberly, and I go by Kim. I bring 27 years of combined childcare experience working with children from 6 weeks through school age. My background includes preschool teaching, professional nanny care, babysitting, and experience supporting children with special needs. I love creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. I enjoy bringing a little Mary Poppins creativity into each day through age-appropriate activities, arts and crafts, sensory play, outdoor adventures, reading, music, and educational activities tailored to each child’s interests and developmental stage. I’m comfortable with infant and toddler routines, including bottles and feeding, diapering, naps, bathing, dressing, meal and snack preparation, and light child-related housekeeping. I also have experience assisting families with sleep training and maintaining established household routines. Families describe me as patient, attentive, dependable, organized, and nurturing. I’m TrustLine certified and CPR/First Aid certified, and I take safety and communication with parents very seriously. Whether you’re looking for a regular nanny, occasional babysitter, date-night sitter, weekend care, or overnight care, I’d love the opportunity to bring dependable, loving care — and a little Mary Poppins magic — to your family. ☂️✨ Out of respect for my former employers’ schedules, I kindly ask that reference checks be made after 5:00 PM.

I have been working with children since I was 18 years old, both professionally in a school setting and personally by caring for my nieces and nephews. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for children. I can help them with homework and school activities, as well as encourage activities away from screens, such as arts and crafts, reading, playing games, and other age-appropriate activities. I am comfortable caring for children with different personalities and needs, and I always make sure they feel supported, heard, and cared for.I have my CPR certificate and I can also drive to/from school

Maria Jose $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is María, and I’m originally from Arizona but now based in East Village, San Diego. I studied Arts, Media, and Entertainment at the University of Arizona, and I’ve been caring for children for several years, both in professional settings and with my own family. ✨ Experience: I worked at Strauss ECE Daycare in Tucson, AZ for 4–5 years, caring for children ranging from infants (3 months) to preschoolers (up to 5 years old). I also worked as a full-time nanny in Rancho Santa Fe for 2 years and absolutely loved the experience. It allowed me to build a close bond with the family and provide consistent, one-on-one care. As the oldest of three sisters, babysitting has always been a natural part of my life. ✨ Skills & Services: • Bilingual: fluent in Spanish & English • Infant + toddler experience • Light cooking & meal prep • Laundry & light cleaning • Pet-friendly (no allergies) ✨ A little about me: I’m patient, caring, and love helping children learn and grow in a safe, fun environment. My background in arts and media has also made me creative and resourceful in keeping kids engaged. Outside of childcare, I run a small jewelry business, which reflects my organization and dedication. 💲 My rate is $25 per hour, and I’m happy to discuss/adjust depending on your family’s needs. First Aid & CPR certified. I’d love the chance to support your family and provide safe, reliable care for your little ones!

"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."

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)."
