Booked by 2 families in San Diego, CA

Hello! I'm a 23-year-old with seven years of babysitting experience located in San Diego, CA. I enjoy reading, going to the beach, and film photography. I prioritize bonding with kids through quality time, reading, crafts, and exciting adventures.

Payton was so great with our boys. She took them to the playground, fed them dinner and got them off to bed. Both boys said they liked her and would want her to watch them again. Would definitely hire her again!

Hi families. everyone calls me Lelé. I’m a creative, loving, patient, and organized. I love care children and animals. I have experience with children from 2 months to 14 years old. I have a lot experience in newborn care, sleep training, potty training, and food introducing, and I also have experience with children with autism and ADHD( references available ).. I’m bilingual in English and Portuguese, I have a valid driver’s license and my own car, and can pick up and drop offs school/activities. I can help with kids’ laundry, light meal prep.. I’m CPR certified, fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and I love pets. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available for overnights, date nights and some weekends. I’m new on this app, but I have many great reviews on Care and Bambino, and I’d be happy to share them along with references from the families I’ve worked with. My rate start $25 per hour, and I’d love to connect to see if we could be a great match. :)

Lele is absolutely wonderful! She is so loving, caring, and attentive… the kind of sitter every parent hopes to find. My son absolutely adores her and lights up whenever she comes over. She has a natural way with kids, making them feel safe, happy, and engaged. I couldn’t recommend her enough to any family looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and reliable.

Booked by 1 family in San Diego, CA

Hello, my name is Alexis but most people call me Alex and I have had over 15 years of experience taking care of animals, children, and a couple seniors to support myself through college. I’ve taken care of one main household for over 13 years and I love their children and animals as if they are my own. At client’s request I am happy to do light housecleaning, cooking, school pick up or drop off, administer medications, and take care of their pets needs as well. I thrive on taking care of the community in a multitude of ways over the years, but taking care of children and animals brings me the most joy.

"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
