$33 per hour for 1 child

College Educated & Experienced Babysitter Hi, I'm Jessica! I'm a 28-year-old Cal Poly grad with 9+ years of babysitting and nannying experience, including two summers as a full-time nanny. I'm the "fun babysitter who gets things done". Kids get my full attention and energy, and parents come home to a calm, organized house. What I bring to your family: -AP level homework help (math, science, English, etc.) -Activity driven babysitting (screen time is proven to slow down imagination and learning, let’s keep your kids active with playing and activities) -Competitive soccer & tennis background (also I love playing any sport and can help your kid practice) -Meal prep, cooking, organizing, and tidying up! -Drives to activities & appointments -Pet-sitting included -References gladly provided (I just set up my profile so my references will be on my profile soon) I treat every child with kindness, respect, and full attention, creating a safe, supportive environment they'll look forward to.

“Jessica babysat for our two kids (6 and 10 at the time) for about 5 months, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was fantastic with both of them despite their age gap. She was patient and playful with our younger one, while keeping our 10-year-old engaged and even helping with homework. She kept them active and off screens, which we really appreciated, and always left the house calm and tidy. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the kids’ wellbeing. We’d recommend her to any family without hesitation.”

Seylin $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Seylin. I have several years of experience supporting families through dependable childcare and household assistance. I began babysitting in high school and later coached a children’s soccer team, gaining experience working with children across different age groups while maintaining structure, safety, and positive routines. I also participated in a school mentorship program, where I guided younger students to remain academically focused and make positive life choices. Additionally, I volunteered with children with special needs, assisting with reading, daily activities, and supervised campus outings. I offer babysitting and nannying services, including school pick ups and drop offs, age appropriate activity supervision, and homework support. I also provide pet care, including walking, feeding, and companionship, and I am experienced with dogs of all breeds and sizes. In addition, I am willing to assist with errands, light cleaning, organizing, and general household support as needed. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and well organized environment for children, pets, and families.

"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)."
