Tina $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello- My name is Tina and I am a fun-loving person who adores infants, toddlers, school age kids, and yes, teens, too. I am able to provide full time care, even live-in if available (I have a small well-behaved cat who is very shy), and I have a knack for making learning fun and interesting for everyone and I make activities age appropriate. I am GREAT with infants and love helping them get through all the different stages and phases they go through and I have amazing patience. I don't mind running some errands, doing some laundry, cleaning the house in general, assisting with dogs and/or cats, and I pick up after myself. I'm very energetic and am a positive person.

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!

Betty $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Betty. I bring a calm, warm, and dependable presence into the home and truly enjoy supporting children as they grow, learn, and feel secure. I believe in creating a loving environment where children feel safe and happy, while also maintaining gentle structure and consistency throughout the day. I hold three associate degrees in Child Development, Behavioral Science, and Communication, which give me a strong foundation in understanding how children develop and thrive. Along with my education, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, guiding them through important milestones with patience and encouragement. I have extensive experience in infant care, including feeding, diapering, and establishing healthy sleep routines. With the Austin family, I provided consistent, attentive care and helped create a peaceful, structured environment. Her parents often shared how much they appreciated my reliability, attentiveness, and the sense of trust and comfort I brought into their home. In addition to my professional experience, I teach religious education for preschool-aged children, which reflects my faith-centered values and my commitment to guiding children with kindness, respect, and purpose. I truly see each child as a gift and feel honored to support families by providing dependable, heartfelt care they can trust.

"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."

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)."
