Hi, I’m Melanie. I am a dedicated childcare professional and educator with a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Development and a state-issued teaching permit. My background is rooted in early childhood education, and I have spent years in various settings, from running my own preschool classroom to working in specialized schools with children who have autism and other disabilities. Because of my additional training in school counseling, I am especially focused on emotional regulation and helping children feel secure and heard, no matter their age or needs. I know how stressful it can be to find someone you truly trust with your children, which is why I prioritize clear communication and consistency. I am proud to have built a reputation here on the app with positive reviews and the opportunity to work with nine repeat families. I also have extensive experience supporting families long-term, including a wonderful five-year placement with one family before they moved out of state, and I take pride in building those lasting, reliable relationships. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have a clean background, and have a current negative TB test. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment so you can feel completely at ease whenever you are away. I would love to connect, and talk more to answer questions.

Hello, I’m Daina, a Certified Newborn Care Specialist with 8+ years of professional childcare and newborn experience. My background includes daytime, overnight, and 24/7 live-in newborn care, as well as experience supporting families in private homes, infant classrooms, and hospital settings. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Child & Family Development and Sociology from San Diego State University and spent four years working at Rady Children’s Hospital. I’m experienced with feeding and bottle support, soothing, newborn cues, wake windows, age-appropriate sleep and feeding routines, diapering, care logs, baby laundry, bottle and pump-part care, and helping parents feel supported and confident during the newborn stage. I’m CPR/AED/First Aid certified, TrustLine registered, background checked, fully vaccinated, and a non-smoker. I also have experience as an infant nursery teacher and have worked with children and families in a variety of professional care settings. I’m passionate about providing calm, attentive, dependable care and creating a safe and nurturing environment for every child I work with. I’d be happy to connect and share more about my experience, availability, and services.

Daina helped us out in a pinch when another sitter canceled last minute. She was great with a toddler and kept her entertained and was such a clear communicator with me, I really appreciated the updates and conscientiousness. We’ll definitely have Daina back again!

In my last position, I was caring for two 2-year-olds and worked with them on Self-expression and Socialization among other skills.

Hello... I am a mature lady with abundant energy and fun-loving disposition...I am a very experienced babysitter... Mother of six /Grandmother, too! I live in Santee but occasionally spend time in La Jolla or Laguna Niguel at my children’s homes and when I do I apply for work in those areas, as well as, when I am at home in Santee🙂 I loved spending many years helping my grown children by taking care of their little ones💗while they were working! Besides helping them out I experienced a great deal of happiness being with my grandchildren! Here in California I have two beautiful Grand-daughters that I love spending time with when their busy schedules permit! I am on call for babysitting on date night for my kids and the families I babysit for, also! I have movie night on some Fridays with my 10 year old and 13 year old Grand-sons! A little something about me: I'm from Maine, and have resided in some awesome cities, such as, Palm Beach, San Francisco, Los Angeles, where I've had the great pleasure of singing with the Agape choir, performing with talented artists like John Legend, and now currently living in San Diego! I am a published artist, love theater, and have especially loved watching my six kids grow into successful, creative, kind, individuals! I have plenty of available time for babysitting and babysitting for families who need child care is a continuation of doing what I love to do... So far most of the families I have done babysitting for have paid me in cash....which is my preference! Would that work for you? I am often paid by Venmo or Zelle and that is fine, as well🙂 I do have some availability in my schedule and would like to discuss the specifics of what you will be requiring to meet the needs of your family! Sad to say but because of the high cost of gas I’ve had to increase my rate from $18 to $20 for one child & $25 for two or more children, also, I have to require a 4 hour minimum☹️ I look forward to hearing from you! Have a great day! Carol🌷

Absolutely amazing, she’s an expert.

"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)."
