Hello! My name is Celina Solis — Active Duty Navy, Experienced Caregiver, and All-Around Helping Hand I’m 25 years old and currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Navy. While I’m new to offering services through an app, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for children for friends and family. I have a natural connection with kids and truly enjoy spending time with them. My approach is rooted in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and valued. I’m CPR-certified and confident in handling a variety of age groups and situations. Whether it’s arts and crafts, board games, or simply offering a listening ear, I adapt to each child’s needs and interests with warmth and patience. Pet care is another passion of mine. As a proud dog owner, I’m happy to open my home for overnight or daytime boarding. I also offer drop-in visits and dog walking. If you’d like to view my Rover profile, feel free to reach out! Need help around the house? I’ve also gained valuable experience helping my brother with his professional cleaning business in San Francisco. I take pride in maintaining clean, welcoming spaces and would be glad to assist with any household cleaning needs. I look forward to connecting with you and providing care you can truly count on — whether for your child, pet, or home.

From that position, I was offered several regular babysitting opportunities and eventually took a position as a fulltime nanny for two boys aged 2 and 5 (live-in/overnight). I was also a parttime nanny (1 day a week) for a 4 year old girl, and later a long term nanny for a girl from age 3-8 years old. I have also been a tutor/babysitter for 11 year old triplets; I taught them English/literature for independent study/home school. During the pandemic.

$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Priscilla, I’m new to urban sitter. I have 5 years of baby sitting/nanny experience. I have been with one family for those 5 years and am now looking for more experience. Prior, I have always been around kids. Thanks to my family I’ve had the experience of watching my loved ones grow up from babies to teens, taking care and spending time with them. I am an auntie of two boys, no older than two years old that I care for often. I love to bring good energy, I’m calm, attentive, patient, and organized. I’m willing to communicate, engage, and overall create a safe space for the kids and family involved. I have safe and reliable transportation. I love pets and do well with them as long as they do not have aggressive tendencies. If I seem like a right fit I would love to hear back and connect!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
