Andrea San Diego
$32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Andrea. I’m currently finishing my doctorate in Child Psychology at Stanford, where I’ve spent the past several years providing therapy and neuropsychological assessments to children and adolescents. I’ll be in San Diego until the summer while I wait to match for my clinical internship, so I’m looking for part-time babysitting. Most of my graduate-school work has been with children and teens with medical and neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism, oncology patients, and pediatric epilepsy, so I’m very comfortable supporting kids with a wide range of needs. I also previously worked in a preschool in Spain with toddlers with neurodevelopmental disabilities, and I babysat throughout high school. I’m warm, reliable, and genuinely love working with kids.

Cassie San Diego
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Cassie! I am located in La Mesa, CA, and I am looking for part-time or full-time nanny/babysitting opportunities! I am in the final semester of my junior year at San Diego State University, but I will have a very flexible schedule when I begin working in May. If you're looking for responsible, hardworking, and reliable help with your family, I’m your gal! I am an outgoing, active, and experienced caregiver with several years of babysitting experience across numerous families and children of various ages. Most recently, I provided consistent, long-term care from 2021 to 2024 for a family with both an infant and a toddler, and I continued working with families into 2025. During this time, I took care of infants, toddlers, elementary school-age children, and preteens; through these roles, I have developed a strong ability to manage multiple children at once while maintaining a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. I love incorporating art, sports, outdoor activities, and creative play into my time with kids to keep them engaged, active, and having fun. I am happy to help around the house with day-to-day chores such as housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation, and to establish and maintain routines, whether that’s assisting with homework, organizing activities, or supporting daily schedules. I’m very comfortable with all aspects of childcare, including bath time, bedtime routines, and creating a calm, positive environment at the end of the day. And of course, I love all pets! I am CPR and First Aid certified, so I’m always ready to keep your kids safe while still having fun! I have a clean driving record and am comfortable with pickups/drop-offs, attending events, and traveling with the family! I am looking to start consistent care in early to mid-May, indefinitely! I pride myself on being dependable, organized, and attentive, while also bringing a fun, warm, and energetic presence into the home. If I seem like a good fit for your needs and your family, please do not hesitate to reach out with questions or inquiries! Thank you for your time and consideration, Cassie

$24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in San Diego, CA

I am Viridiana, I currently graduated and obtain my Criminal Justice Bachelor’s degree. Also, I do have completed Child Development units, I am CPR/First aid certified, mandate report training and other trainings. I mean I work on a daily basis with children so I absolutely love and enjoy working with children. Working with children, teaching them, supervising them is a major responsibility but at the end of the day it’s very rewarding. Children are pure and innocent and they just say what they think they are also very fast learners and very smart.

Viri was amazing with our son! She's very friendly and our son took to her immediately. She was always on time and would keep him occupied with activities throughout. She would also make sure that he was well fed at all times. I would highly recommend her to other parents

Hi! My name is Natalia and I am a senior at SDSU majoring in Psychology. I started working with kids when I was 16, in after school care programs, and have since grown to be highly passionate about it. I have professional experience with infants through middle schoolers, as well as the special needs population. I currently work as an art teacher and would love to have your child tap into their creative side, or whatever other interests they may have!

"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
