Booked by 28 families in San Diego, CA

Hello! My name is Kinga, and I’m an experienced and dependable babysitter based in La Jolla, San Diego. I’ve spent the last eleven years caring for children of all ages-from infants to elementary school-and I truly love what I do. Along with my nannying background, I’ve also tutored kindergarten through second grade, which has given me a strong foundation in early learning and communication. I have a genuine passion for supporting children with special needs. For the past three years, I’ve worked closely with a 23-year-old with Phelan-McDermid Syndrome, serving as his eyes and ears and assisting with daily living, communication, and safety. This experience has taught me patience, creativity, and how to build trust with individuals who need a little extra support. It’s also a big part of why I’m currently studying social work-I’m committed to making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Families describe me as calm, caring, and intuitive. I enjoy spending time outdoors, crafting, and finding ways to keep kids engaged. I’m reliable, communicative, and focused on creating a safe and positive environment for every child I work with. I am up to date with my vaccines and happy to provide references. I look forward to hearing from you!

Kinga was amazing with my 3 year old autistic son. She gave me updates through her time with him and ensured that he got the best care and attention. Thank you, Kinga!

I have nannied for over 7 years. I graduated from SDSU with a degree in liberal studies- for elementary education. Although I have not transitioned to a classroom I find nannying and caring to be an amazing way to fill my life and work! I have loved many families and lots of different configurations over my time! I’ve worked with multiple toddlers, special needs children, been hands on with elementary schoolers and I’ve grown very comfortable in so many settings. With having such a diverse group of people to nanny for I’ve found myself cooking, cleaning, organizing and even more, I’m happy to help in so many ways!I love to bring a gentle, patient and supportive environment for any kiddo while still providing structure and routine with clear communication. CPR/First aid certified, up to date and also trust line registered

Ace was awesome! Always on time and my little brother loved them! 10/10 recommend

Hello I’m a mother of 4 grown men. I raised my boys by myself but thrived for them to be strong, independent, hardworking, kind Christian men and those are strong morals that I have. For some reason I’m a magnet to kids lol which is amazing to me cause I love kids so I’ve acquired many many nieces and nephews. I go by Angel so I’m always “Auntie Angel” which I love. I love the outdoors, craft, art, music, animals, reading, movies, cooking, and anything adventurous so with that being said your child will definitely have an adventure with me everyday! Plus I’m strong believer in learning but I like the more creative ways to learn to make it fun and so you remember what you learn! I do have degree in computer programming (so I am smart :)), CNA (so I’ve taken care of elders with all their needs, which makes me very patient and compassionate), been server/GM at restaurant (so I’m responsible, clean, multi tasked, patient, prompt,loyal,trustworthy), and many other jobs. Also have CPR and first aid. Since I’m single and have no kids I’m free morning thru night. Call me anytime you want some adult time or need to run errands! I’m available and look forward to meeting your family!

Wonderful!!

Booked by 6 families in San Diego, CA

Hello! I'm Cassandra, a dedicated and caring babysitter with over 6 years of experience working with children of all ages from infants to young teens. I have extensive experience caring for infants and toddlers, ensuring they are safe, happy, and well-attended to. I’ve had the pleasure of working with both individual children and groups, creating safe, engaging, and fun environments whether it’s one-on-one care or managing multiple children at once. Additionally, I have a background in working with children with special needs, offering compassionate support tailored to each child’s individual needs. A significant portion of my experience comes from working with families involved in Al-Anon, a support group for those impacted by someone else's alcohol use. This has given me a deeper understanding of the unique dynamics and challenges these families face, allowing me to provide empathetic and supportive care with a focus on their emotional and practical needs. In addition to my babysitting experience, I’ve volunteered with the Best Day Foundation, teaching children how to surf and helping them learn to boogie board. This experience has further developed my ability to care for kids with disabilities in a meaningful way while encouraging their new skills and confidence. I take pride in creating a nurturing, fun, and educational environment while giving parents peace of mind. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, or providing the extra care some children need, I’m here to make sure your little ones are well cared for. I look forward to meeting your family and helping make your life a little easier!

Cassandra is simply amazing! She is so sweet and down to earth. Our kids really enjoy having her over. She plays games with them and really engages in good conversations with them. We will definitely be having her back.

"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

"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)."
