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

Hi! My name is Marvin! I currently work as a Behavior Interventionist with hands-on experience supporting children across developmental stages and needs, from toddlers to teens, neurodivergent to gifted. I’m offering child care, tutoring, and household help. I’ve been caring for kids since I was young. I'm the oldest of four siblings and have experience with newborns, toddlers, school-aged children, and teens. I’ve worked as a Writing Consultant and tutor, helping students with everything from reading to college essays. I’m comfortable with homework help, emotional regulation, and creating calm, structured routines. I’ve worked in classrooms, homes, and one-on-one settings, and I adapt easily to each child’s personality and needs. Whether your child is shy, energetic, neurodivergent, or just needs a little extra support, I show up with patience, clarity, and care. I’m happy to help with light cleaning, errands, and pet care. While I don’t have formal experience with animals, I’m gentle, reliable, and open to learning your pet’s routine.

Alicia San Diego
$40 per hour for 1 child

I’m a Household Manager and caregiver with several years of experience supporting private families in the Bay Area. I help with childcare, schedules, errands, home organization, and daily routines, always bringing calm, reliability, and attention to detail. I’m naturally proactive, organized, and nurturing. Families describe me as someone they fully trust — dependable, discreet, and easy to be around. I truly enjoy creating a smooth, supportive environment where both parents and children feel cared for. I also have a background in administrative support and digital tools, which helps me stay organized and assist with a variety of household and personal tasks. I’m looking for a long-term position where I can grow with a family and be a positive, steady presence in their lives.

"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
