Priscilla National City
$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!

Estefania San Diego
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello there: My name is Estefania, and my background is rooted in service, responsibility, and care for others. Professionally, I have worked as a Legal Secretary supporting attorneys in complex litigation, a role that requires exceptional organization, discretion, reliability, and attention to detail. These same qualities translate naturally into caregiving, where patience, structure, and compassion are essential. In addition to my professional career, I provide private advanced Spanish tutoring, working with students who want to strengthen their language skills, improve academic performance, or develop conversational fluency. Through this work, I help students with homework, structured learning plans, reading comprehension, test prep, and confidence building. My tutoring experience allows me to support children academically while also creating a positive and encouraging learning environment. I have experience assisting families with childcare responsibilities such as supervising routines, helping with homework, preparing meals, tutoring, and maintaining a safe and nurturing environment. My tutoring background allows me to integrate educational support naturally into caregiving, especially for families who value bilingual learning or academic structure. I also enjoy supporting seniors through companionship, organization, errands, appointment coordination, and helping maintain a comfortable and well-run home. I believe that patience, kindness, and attentive listening are essential when caring for others, particularly seniors who value respect, conversation, and dependable support. In addition, I am very comfortable caring for pets and assisting with household responsibilities. I regularly help with tasks such as organizing spaces, grocery shopping, meal preparation, light housekeeping, pet care, scheduling, and running errands. I take pride in creating calm, organized environments where families can focus on what matters most. People often describe me as dependable, warm, attentive, and proactive. I naturally notice what needs to be done and take initiative to help without needing to be asked. I am also highly trustworthy and respectful of the homes and families I support. My personality combines professionalism with genuine kindness. I enjoy building positive relationships with the people I care for and bringing a sense of calm, structure, and encouragement to their daily lives. Thank you so much. ♥️

Booked by 1 family in San Diego, CA

Hi! My name is Paulina and look forward to meeting your family! As the oldest of a family of 4 children I have been babysitting my younger siblings since they were born along with cousins nieces and nephews throughout my life. I love arts and crafts, being outdoors, puzzles and board games. I have my own transportation and have worked as a babysitter for babies 4 months old to kids 14 years old. I have worked as a nanny for an average of 4 years with over 6 different families. I have worked as a 9th grade health teacher and have experience with boundaries and different styles of discipline yet still connecting and understanding the children. I am ready to bring patience and compassion to any situation and most of all fun!

Paulina is great with my toddler. Paulina brings toys and books so my toddler is learning and engaged. My toddler loves having Paulina look after her. Paulina is also very professional, on-time and communicative.

"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)."
