Jessica 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I have been a child and family therapist for over 12 years. Within my certifications including a Masters in Family Clinical Psychology , my NLP knowledge and background is extremely helpful when communicating with children in a way that is well received, allowing the child to receive guidance in a positive way that builds confidence. For this past 12 years I have been a sitter off and on of my therapy client’s children and also for the children I see in session. It is true joy to be a positive encouraging influence in children’s growth and evolution. I pose lots of importance in quality time, nutrition, physical activity, positive encouragement, and minimal or none screen time.

I’ve known Jessica for many years, and she is one of the kindest, most caring, and trustworthy people I know. She has cared for both of my children, and I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing they were with her. She is warm, patient, and genuinely attentive, and my family has always had a wonderful experience with her. I’m so grateful for her support over the years, and I would highly recommend her to any family looking for someone dependable and compassionate.

Booked by 2 families in National City, CA

Hi! My name is Jazmine and I am passionate about childcare! A little about my professional past, I have worked as a preschool teacher the past 3 years, I have worked with children with disabilities, and nannied for infants up to 12 years old the past 6 years. I am up to date on all my vaccinations, including Covid. I have kids I babysit all the time and past nanny jobs that can give references. I love pets and am great with kids of all ages and personalities. I am cpr/first aid certified and TrustLine certified and have 12 units in ECE. I can meal prep or help clean up and would be more than happy to drive the kids anywhere. I am a certified birth and post partum doula(I am insured and have my own business in SD) and newborn care specialist training certification. In my free time, I love to go hiking, yoga, baking, and travel. I am silly, nurturing, kind and bring a safe approach as a caretaker. I would love to help you and your family out:)

Very responsible and on time! Definitely recommend Jazmine.

Georgina $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Georgina, and I’m offering childcare services. I’m a graphic designer, so I can do creative activities with the kids, help them with their homework, play with them, take them to their classes, or do whatever else is needed. Since I was 10, I’ve been babysitting my two cousins since they were born. Every Friday we’d have “Grandma Friday,” playing or watching movies with snacks until they eventually grew up (I’m 32 now). My aunt recommended me to her friends, and I occasionally looked after her friends’ children as well. I am responsible, empathetic, patient, and above all, a huge fan of kids! My priority will be their safety and your peace of mind. I am available full-time during the week and, if needed, occasionally on weekends as well :)

"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)."
