San Diego
$23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 6 families in San Diego, CA

Hello everyone! My name is Courtney, I'm 29 years old. I’m an HR professional, looking for extra income. I was a full time babysitter throughout college and take occasional gigs every now and then. I’ve made some lovely connections with families through UrbanSitter and Care.com and I wanted to reactivate my profile to assist with occasional gigs, such as date nights, play dates, or just extra help. A little bit about me - I’m a Bay Area native whom relocated to the beautiful San Diego, CA over a year ago, I consider myself very respectful, personable, and friendly! I enjoy all things food, dogs, and travel related! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions regarding rates etc - I’m flexible! Especially coming from SF I noticed the rates vary here in SD.

Courtney is very professional and patient, even when my kids got wild. Would definitely book her again.

Booked by 2 families in San Diego, CA

Hi! My name is Jazmine and I am passionate about childcare! A little about my professional past, I have worked as a preschool teacher the past 3 years, I have worked with children with disabilities, and nannied for infants up to 12 years old the past 6 years. I am up to date on all my vaccinations, including Covid. I have kids I babysit all the time and past nanny jobs that can give references. I love pets and am great with kids of all ages and personalities. I am cpr/first aid certified and TrustLine certified and have 12 units in ECE. I can meal prep or help clean up and would be more than happy to drive the kids anywhere. I am a certified birth and post partum doula(I am insured and have my own business in SD) and newborn care specialist training certification. In my free time, I love to go hiking, yoga, baking, and travel. I am silly, nurturing, kind and bring a safe approach as a caretaker. I would love to help you and your family out:)

Very responsible and on time! Definitely recommend Jazmine.

Kadnyss San Diego
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi- my name is Kadnyss, I just moved from San Diego to Piedmont. I’m offering child care and household services. I’ve been taking care of kids since I was really young. I have 3 younger siblings, so I grew up surrounded by a fully kid environment. Then when I was 17/18, I worked at an English Institute and I was a simulation teacher for a group of 10-13 children between 3 and 6 years old. I also can help you with some household chores or maybe give you a hand with any errands. I enjoy being with kids, because they allow me to have a great time, while we’re both learning from each other. I’m really disciplined and responsible when it comes to being committed to my job. I’m also pretty loving and caring, I love having an active life.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
