Hello Parents, My name is Biftuu, and I’m a 34-year-old nanny with a deep passion for working with children and pets. Since relocating here from Ohio, I’ve had the joy of working with many wonderful families, caring for children ranging from newborns and infants to school-age kids. Moving here was a big step—I left behind a large, close-knit family of 10 siblings, where I was the go-to “mommy’s little helper.” From a young age, I was changing diapers and helping with my younger siblings, which sparked my love for caregiving. As I grew older, my enthusiasm for working with children only deepened. I volunteered at my community library as a tutor and reading program coordinator during the summers, and throughout high school, I served as a teacher’s aide for pre-K through middle school. These experiences taught me that children come into the world with boundless potential and that I have a role in nurturing their growth, both academically and emotionally. In addition to my extensive experience with children, I also have years of experience in pet boarding and house sitting. This background has equipped me with the skills to handle various household responsibilities and ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. Working as a nanny allows me to focus on a small number of children, providing personalized care and helping to shape their lives with positive habits, creativity, and lots of laughter. I believe in creating a supportive and loving environment where children can thrive and develop important life skills. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and discuss how I can contribute to your child’s development and well-being. Feel free to reach out—I look forward to hearing from you! Warm regards, Biftuu

Hello my name is Dottie. I have many years of experience in the medical field. I have been a Nanny for families and truly loved it. I have been caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, school age also. My skills would include taking them to activities, meals, snacks, take/ pickup from school and activities after school sports, tumbling, swimming and more. One of my families I took their son's to Speech therapy weekly. I love to cook and have prepped meals for the family. Doing errands occasionally for the family. I would bring outdoor play, swimming, crafts, playing in the sand, bike riding, baking/ easy cooking skills to learn and more. Some of my clients have pets to be cared for daily. I have had many years caring for Seniors in the past 8-9 years. I'm available occasionally on weekends or over night so the parents have sometime alone. I would need notice to check my schedule, it's very possible. I have house sat, and cared for cats & dogs in the home. I love to teach small children to learn ABC's, and more for school as they grow and mature in fun ways. Learning can be fun. I do have reference letters, certificates for some of my occupations. Current CPR/first aid and all vaccines. With infants, newborns they will be diaper changed every 2-3 hr. as needed. Bottle feed when hungry, change clothing as needed when soiled, read stories, play. I'm CPR/first aid certified, all vaccines are current. Evening care is possible with notice or request. My contact info is Dottie Coad,[removed]

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🌷

Carol was excellent! Looking forward to having her again

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
