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.

Jacqueline $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Jacqueline, a warm, reliable, and professional nanny with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. I currently care for an 8-year-old boy about 10 hours a week and am looking to connect with more families. In the past, I’ve supported a busy household with four children (ages 2–11), helping with after-school care, bedtime routines, and date nights. I’ve also traveled with families and am comfortable with overnights. I have my own transportation and love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for kids. Excellent references available!

I am a responsible, caring, and experienced babysitter with a background in caring for children from newborns to 12 years old. I am originally from Colombia, and Spanish is my first language. I am also fluent in English, which allows me to communicate easily with bilingual families. I am CPR and AED certified, so I am prepared to respond calmly and effectively in emergency situations. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children while supporting their development at every stage. I also love dancing, painting, and cooking, and I enjoy incorporating creative and engaging activities into my time with children.

"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)."
