Olivia Escondido
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Olivia and I offer infant care and child care. I am going to Grand Canyon University 100% online (majoring in business marketing) so that means I am available all mornings during the week! WHY I LOVE NANNYING: Well first of all, I LOVE KIDS! I have always been the girl in the family who hangs out with the little kids at every family event and have dreamed of having my own kids one day (in the not so near future lol)! When I started babysitting in 7th grade, I absolutely adored it. I have multiple families who I have been babysitting for 4+ years. It is really important to me to build a connection not only with the kids, but the whole family. I love doing anything and everything with the kids I babysit and nanny! I have done everything with the kids I have watched in the past from teaching them soccer, coloring with chalk on the sidewalk, just holding the smaller little babies, and playing Roblox or VR with the older kids!! EXPERIENCE: I have been babysitting since I was in 7th grade, I was a teacher's assistant at a preschool during my freshman and sophomore years of high school, and most recently, I was a children's soccer coach! I taught mommy and me classes on Saturdays to 10 month olds- 2 year olds. In the past, I have also coached 3-5 year olds and 8-11 year olds. I just finished a nannying job for a 2 yr old and 7 yr old since September so I am looking for something part time! I am currently working for another family that I met on this website. They have 2 kids, 10 year old boy and 12 year old boy. I work for them Monday-Friday 2 pm- 9 pm so other than that, I am free!! RATES: My preferred rates are in the "rates category" but if that does not work with a specific family, I am willing to lower my rates if its a good fit and the family is in need of a good nanny :) These rates are just according to my experience and what am currently/ have been payed in the past. Please don't hesitate to reach out even if my rates aren't ideal for your family, I am sure we can discuss and figure out an arrangement!

Lauren Escondido
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lauren . I have experience caring for kids of various ages and I always strive to create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. I’ve developed a strong sense of responsibility and patience growing up with a younger brother and cousins that I have taken care of numerous times. My experience with kids has helped me learn how to engage them in fun, safe activities, which is great qualities of a babysitter. Currently, I am a senior at Cal State San Marcos studying Communications. Outside of my academics, I have played softball my whole life and I enjoy going to the beach, listening to music, and hanging out with my family. My role as a babysitter is to support your family’s needs.

Nina Chula Vista
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Nina, I’m 33 years old, and I’m also a mom to a wonderful 10-year-old daughter. Being a mom has given me the experience, patience, and understanding to care for children of different ages with love and responsibility. I’ve also worked as a babysitter for several families. Recently, I cared for a baby boy from 4 months old until he was 9 months, so I’m very comfortable with newborns, infants, and older kids as well. I truly understand how hard it can be for parents to leave their children while they work (I’ve been there too!), so I always make it my priority to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where your little ones feel happy and cared for — and where you can feel completely at ease. I’m pet-friendly, a non-smoker, bilingual (English & Spanish), and I love engaging kids in creative play, learning activities, and outdoor fun. I would be happy to discuss your family’s needs and how I can help make your days easier. Thank you for considering me!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
