Salome National City
$25 per hour for 1 child

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.

Hi! I would love to work with you. I am very mindful of safety and I like to think ahead of what could go wrong ( something that I realize a lot of people don't seem to think is important)

Maria Jose San Diego
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is María, and I’m originally from Arizona but now based in East Village, San Diego. I studied Arts, Media, and Entertainment at the University of Arizona, and I’ve been caring for children for several years, both in professional settings and with my own family. ✨ Experience: I worked at Strauss ECE Daycare in Tucson, AZ for 4–5 years, caring for children ranging from infants (3 months) to preschoolers (up to 5 years old). I also worked as a full-time nanny in Rancho Santa Fe for 2 years and absolutely loved the experience. It allowed me to build a close bond with the family and provide consistent, one-on-one care. As the oldest of three sisters, babysitting has always been a natural part of my life. ✨ Skills & Services: • Bilingual: fluent in Spanish & English • Infant + toddler experience • Light cooking & meal prep • Laundry & light cleaning • Pet-friendly (no allergies) ✨ A little about me: I’m patient, caring, and love helping children learn and grow in a safe, fun environment. My background in arts and media has also made me creative and resourceful in keeping kids engaged. Outside of childcare, I run a small jewelry business, which reflects my organization and dedication. 💲 My rate is $25 per hour, and I’m happy to discuss/adjust depending on your family’s needs. First Aid & CPR certified. I’d love the chance to support your family and provide safe, reliable care for your little ones!

"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
