I’ve nannied for 8 years and feel comfortable with all ages of infants to teens. I’m a warm, fun, caring and responsible babysitter who likes to surf, hike, cook and travel in her free time! I like to taking kids to the park, reading, drawing and age development activities with them! I cherish my time with kids and the families I nanny for. I’m happy to provide references and answer any further questions😊

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!

$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”

"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."

"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)."
