Anum $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Poway, CA

Hey there! My name is Anum, 35, 13 year Air Force veteran. If you’re looking for a responsible, caring, well-rounded, and trustworthy person then I’m your gal! I’ve worked in healthcare as a CNA. I have my Certified Nursing Assistant cert., Restorative Nursing Assistant cert., Basic Life Support (BLS). I have previously worked as an In-home caregiver for elderly. I have tons of experience w/ all ages and love working with children. My past significant work experience is as a Financial Analyst and Internal Controls, while in the Air Force. Recent experience with kids ages ranging from infant to 12 years old. I am experienced with multiple kids. Recently worked with families with 18 month old twins and currently work full-time (flexible schedule) with another family with 6 and 7 year olds. I’m currently open to doing occasional babysitting for another family. I’m currently in school part-time and have a relatively flexible schedule. Experienced in elderly care (dementia care, post stroke, cancer patients, post surgery, hygiene, meals, medication reminders, transfers, vitals, etc) If your care needs require transportation (using my car) then I drive a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring. I have a clean driving record and safe driving habits. I haven’t had any issues w/ driving a provided car either. My care strategy is simple: learn care needs via instruction/observation and provide care based on your preference and needs. I’d love to help your young people reach and exceed developmental milestones! A daily activities schedule is appreciated, but not required. I’ll be sure to keep the kiddos on time to minimize any disruption to your families schedule. I’m flexible and can adapt to any circumstances. I can be chatty, fun, interactive, but also know how to bring it down to a relaxed and laid back environment. Pets! I love the furry family members and would be happy to help with them as well. I’m happy to help w/ light housekeeping as a part of nanny/babysitting duties and am open to discuss increased rates for more intensive housekeeping/personal assistant needs. Feel free to ask me any questions you have and book me for a trial! You and your family won’t be disappointed! -Anum

Robin $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Robin! I have extensive experience in childcare; I’ve worked as a swim instructor for the YMCA, an overnight camp counselor for Girl Scouts of San Diego, and I have been volunteering at Sandburg Elementary School as an Assistant Teacher for coming up on 3 years now. I have worked with a wide age range of children as young as 6 months and as old as 17, and am comfortable with all ages. I love working with kids and find that kids love working with me! I grew up with dogs all my life, so I am very experienced with caring for dogs, and I have a deep love and appreciation for all animals so I am very open to caring for all pets. I am a great cook and a better baker; I have been told to open up a restaurant or bakery many times and am very comfortable with meal prepping if needed. I live by the principle that you should always leave a place better than how you found it, and I have no problem tidying up around the house if needed. I do not have experience caring for seniors but I am a fast learner and have no problem doing so. I love to dance, play games, read, go on long walks and adventures, and I am a big believer in keeping the magic of a child’s childhood and would love to organize a craft or safe adventure (like an in-house scavenger hunt!) to help foster their imagination and keep their brains active. Ultimately, I am a sponge and I will adjust my care and approach according to whatever your needs for your child are, and whatever parenting style you enforce at home so that I can be of help however you need! CPR, First Aid, and BLS Certified. Non-smoker

Savannah $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Savannah, and I’m a recent college graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology who is working toward becoming a labor and delivery nurse. I have a strong passion for caring for children and supporting families, especially during early childhood and newborn stages. I am CPR certified and currently volunteer at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns, where I assist in a clinical environment focused on maternal and infant care. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I’m comfortable following routines, providing attentive supervision, and supporting families with dependable care. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide attentive, reliable care you can feel confident in.

"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)."
