Booked by 6 families in Ranchita, CA

My name is Jiranan, but I go by Nadia because it’s easier to say. I currently work as a caregiver and am looking for a side job working with children to gain more experience. I’m a responsible and easygoing high school graduate who enjoys working with kids and helping others. I have about 3 years of volunteer experience teaching and assisting children, along with some hands-on caregiving experience, including working with special needs individuals. I’m fluent in Thai and Lao, and I’m known for being patient, dependable, and open-minded. I like getting to know each child’s personality and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I’m always willing to learn and grow while doing my best in everything I do.

She was very sweet and tried to connect with each kiddo and their interest. Was on time and professional

Booked by 1 family in Ranchita, CA

Hello I’m Jenifer, I’m 30 years old. I first started babysitting when I was about 13 years old, watching my father’s friends kids. I realized I loved interacting with them I decided to volunteer in my church nursery. Being a sibling of 11, I love to see the joy on the children's faces when you play with them or just give them any sort of positive attention. A little something about myself, I am currently a caregiver and have been for the past 5 years for my nana. She is my absolute world and I am beyond grateful to be able to care for her. A little something else about myself, I love doing things outdoors such as hiking, swimming and exploring new things . I also really enjoy being at home crocheting, coloring doing puzzles or just watching a movie with my siblings. I also have many years as a caregiver. I have been caring for my nana going through cancer treatment, I’ve worked in a memory care facility as well as worked for a family as a caregiver, assisting with 24/7 care with ADL’s, feeding, bathroom needs, house keeping. I genuinely love caring for people.

Hello! My name is Diamond, I’m a 26 year old and a proud auntie of 3 girls and 2 boys. I recently completed my final year at Cal Poly Humboldt with a BA in International Studies and minors Anthropology, French and Business Marketing. Since high school, I’ve spent so much of my time loving and caring for my sisters’ children. In Aug 2021, I moved to Chicago to explore new opportunities and babysat part time for a year. I moved back to California in Aug 2022 to be closer to my nieces and nephews. I have experience with all ages! I have taught some toddlers how to write and read and would love to continue educating young minds. I also have experience working with children on the ADHD/Autism spectrum. I also have experience with tutoring older ages, housekeeping in moderation, and house organization! My hobbies include singing, making music, art, dance, and being outdoors. I’m very flexible and willing to try new things!

Diamond was very patient with my two kids. One four and one 3 months. My daughter felt very comfortable with her. At the end of the night she was honest with how the night went and how she felt babysitter my baby. I appreciated that the most :)

Booked by 1 family in Ranchita, CA

My name is Malka and recently moved from LA to San Diego. I have a Degree in Child Development and have many years of experience with being a nanny. I have worked as a nanny with many families, often with several kids and highly experienced with newborns and babies. Experienced in meal preparation, homework help, educational activities, driving, and light housekeeping. Recognized for patience, reliability, organizational abilities, and positive long-term relationships with children and families. In addition, I offer services with experience in household services, pet sitting, and senior care. Flexibility with hours! Love children and pets! Availability with flexible hours!

Malka, is an absolute gem! She recently watched my nieces who are 4 and 6 years old. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was warm, engaging, and took incredible care of them from start to finish. The girls had a blast with her, and my family had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such attentive, trustworthy hands. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat to any parent looking for a patient, fun, and reliable sitter!

"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)."
