Mayra $25 per hour for 1 child

My name I’m Mayra. I’ve worked with children for over 16 years through San Diego Unified School District, and I’m currently a Moderate–Severe Special Education teacher. Most of my experience is supporting children with autism, developmental delays, and behavioral needs but honestly, I just really love kids. I’ve also worked in behavior support, helping children feel safe, understood, and successful in their day-to-day routines. I’m calm, patient, and very comfortable handling big emotions, transitions, and different learning styles. On a personal level, I’m a mom to a 15-year-old with autism, so this work is close to my heart. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your child, especially when your child needs extra support or structure. I’m currently working on my Doctorate (Ed.D.) in Education, but at the end of the day, what matters most to me is creating a safe, fun, and supportive space where kids feel happy and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and always meet kids where they are. I’d love to support your family and get to know your little ones.

Sulema $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sulema! I am the mother of a 5-year-old girl, and I have also been caring for children and babies since I was 14 years old. I offer care services for babies, children, pets, and adults. I worked as a restaurant cook for over three years, so I can help prepare meals; I can also assist with light housework, run errands, and pick up children from school. I can teach a little Spanish, and I am open to taking on other tasks as well. I do not have any animal allergies and I love them, so I am perfectly comfortable working with families who have pets.

"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)."
