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.

Cassie San Diego
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Cassie! I am located in La Mesa, CA, and I am looking for part-time or full-time nanny/babysitting opportunities! I am in the final semester of my junior year at San Diego State University, but I will have a very flexible schedule when I begin working in May. If you're looking for responsible, hardworking, and reliable help with your family, I’m your gal! I am an outgoing, active, and experienced caregiver with several years of babysitting experience across numerous families and children of various ages. Most recently, I provided consistent, long-term care from 2021 to 2024 for a family with both an infant and a toddler, and I continued working with families into 2025. During this time, I took care of infants, toddlers, elementary school-age children, and preteens; through these roles, I have developed a strong ability to manage multiple children at once while maintaining a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. I love incorporating art, sports, outdoor activities, and creative play into my time with kids to keep them engaged, active, and having fun. I am happy to help around the house with day-to-day chores such as housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation, and to establish and maintain routines, whether that’s assisting with homework, organizing activities, or supporting daily schedules. I’m very comfortable with all aspects of childcare, including bath time, bedtime routines, and creating a calm, positive environment at the end of the day. And of course, I love all pets! I am CPR and First Aid certified, so I’m always ready to keep your kids safe while still having fun! I have a clean driving record and am comfortable with pickups/drop-offs, attending events, and traveling with the family! I am looking to start consistent care in early to mid-May, indefinitely! I pride myself on being dependable, organized, and attentive, while also bringing a fun, warm, and energetic presence into the home. If I seem like a good fit for your needs and your family, please do not hesitate to reach out with questions or inquiries! Thank you for your time and consideration, Cassie

Sophia San Diego
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My background is primarily in childcare, with most of my experience caring for babies from 3 to 16 months old. I’ve also worked with toddlers and young kids and truly enjoy being part of their daily routines and growth. I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and have gained a wide range of hands-on experience along the way. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, grocery runs, preparing meals, crafts and creative play, tutoring, and even helping with activities like dance lessons. I’m comfortable caring for children without relying on screens and understand the energy, patience, and engagement that requires. I genuinely enjoy staying present, active, and attentive with the kids I’m caring for. Personality-wise, I’m bubbly, outgoing, and warm, while still being responsible and reliable. I truly care about the children I work with and love learning their routines, personalities, and the little things that make them feel happy and comfortable. I’m also a strong multitasker, comfortable caring for pets, and happy to assist with household tasks for an agreed-upon additional fee. My goal is always to support families in a way that feels trustworthy, positive, and stress-relieving.

"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
