Zeporia 2 reviews
$45 per hour for 1 child

Welcome to your child's home away from home! With over 10 years of childcare experience, I provide high-quality, home-based care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. My goal is to give parents complete peace of mind while creating a place where children feel comfortable, valued, and excited to spend their day. My home is located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood within walking distance of several parks, the public library, kid-friendly restaurants and shopping, and a skate park, giving children plenty of opportunities for outdoor play, exploration, and age-appropriate activities. Whether we're reading books, creating crafts, playing outside, or enjoying home-cooked meals together, every day is designed to be active, enriching, and fun. I specialize in flexible care, including overnights, weekends, and last-minute bookings. My home is smoke-free, alcohol-free, clean, and child-friendly, and I strive to provide the consistency and warmth of a true "home away from home." Parents receive regular updates, photos, and communication throughout the day so they can feel confident and connected while their children are in my care. I believe every family deserves dependable, compassionate childcare built on trust, communication, and genuine care.

Zeporia's expertise with not just children but also ensuring a house feels like a home is impeccable. The care and attention to our baby (6 mos; 4; 9); the dedication to the home; and the honestly the vibe and feeling that someone genuinely cares for our child and home the way they care for theirs is amazing. Yes, I've been to her home, beautifully cared for and maintained so I have options based on where me and the husband are when we need a sitter. More importantly, my children adore her and love her. She's also very intelligent and patient with my children. I'd recommend her...as long as it's not on the days we need her lol

Hanna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hanna :) I’m excited to share why I would be the perfect choice for your babysitting needs. I am 26 years old and I am originally from Florida! Moved to San Diego 2 years ago! I’ve always enjoyed babysitting! My background includes not only babysitting but also engaging in creative activities that inspire and entertain young minds. I have a passion for the arts, which means I can offer fun and imaginative activities, from painting and crafting to storytelling and music. I believe that creativity is essential for a child's development, and I love to foster that through playful and educational experiences. Additionally, I am an animal lover and understand the importance of including pets in a child’s life. I can help teach children about responsibility and empathy through caring for animals, making our time together even more enjoyable.

Anum $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Rancho Santa Fe, 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

"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)."
