Georgina San Diego
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Georgina, and I’m offering childcare services. I’m a graphic designer, so I can do creative activities with the kids, help them with their homework, play with them, take them to their classes, or do whatever else is needed. Since I was 10, I’ve been babysitting my two cousins since they were born. Every Friday we’d have “Grandma Friday,” playing or watching movies with snacks until they eventually grew up (I’m 32 now). My aunt recommended me to her friends, and I occasionally looked after her friends’ children as well. I am responsible, empathetic, patient, and above all, a huge fan of kids! My priority will be their safety and your peace of mind. I am available full-time during the week and, if needed, occasionally on weekends as well :)

Felicia San Diego
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Diego, CA

Hello, I am Felicia! I’m a compassionate, dependable caregiver with several years of hands-on experience supporting children, seniors, pets, and households. My background includes working as a teacher, camp counselor, and tutor, which has given me a strong foundation in child development, patience, and creating safe, engaging environments. I am equally comfortable providing care for elderly individuals and have been specifically requested for senior support due to my reliability, attentiveness, and respectful approach. Child Care I have experience caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. I enjoy creating structured yet fun routines that include educational activities, creative play, and outdoor time. I love engaging children through reading, arts and crafts, dancing, painting, and age-appropriate games. I also offer tutoring and homework support and am comfortable preparing meals and helping maintain daily routines. Senior Care I have provided non-medical senior care focused on companionship, safety, and daily support. My experience includes assisting with meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, transportation, and offering meaningful conversation and emotional support. I truly enjoy senior care because I value building trust, listening to life stories, and helping individuals maintain comfort, dignity, and independence. Pet Care I have experience caring for a variety of pets and breeds and have been trusted with pet sitting and dog walking. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, including those that shed. My services include walking, feeding, playtime, basic care routines, and ensuring pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Household Services I have experience with house sitting and general household support, including light cleaning, laundry, organizing, cooking, and running errands. I prefer to use your cleaning supplies and equipment and I will always treat homes with care and respect. I am reliable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy supporting families and individuals in meaningful ways. I look forward to providing dependable, thoughtful care you can trust.

San Diego
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Diego, CA

Hello my name is Emma. I have been married 33 years and have a wonderful daughter. I am a native San Diegan and am very familiar with all of San Diego county. I went to San Diego State University and became an elementary school teacher. After I had my daughter I stopped teaching and became a stay at home mom. I’ve always liked children - that’s why I became a teacher. I like to help them learn new things and to watch them discover the world around them. I’ve never been a professional babysitter, only a professional teacher and mom.😉. I know what it takes to run a home and how to care for children. I know I can help you. I enjoy helping people and I connect easily with most everyone I meet. I’m easy going, punctual, honest, trustworthy, kind, and patient. I would take care of your children as if they were my own. I have two small dogs...a three year old mini Australian Shepherd and a fourteen year old Llasa Apso that are like my kids. I enjoy spending time with my family, taking my dogs on long walks, spending time with my good friends, and cooking meals for my family.

"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
