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!

Felicia $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Diego, CA

Hello, I am Felicia! I’m a compassionate, dependable caregiver with several years of hands-on experience supporting children, seniors, pets, and households. My background includes working as a teacher, camp counselor, and tutor, which has given me a strong foundation in child development, patience, and creating safe, engaging environments. I am equally comfortable providing care for elderly individuals and have been specifically requested for senior support due to my reliability, attentiveness, and respectful approach. Child Care I have experience caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. I enjoy creating structured yet fun routines that include educational activities, creative play, and outdoor time. I love engaging children through reading, arts and crafts, dancing, painting, and age-appropriate games. I also offer tutoring and homework support and am comfortable preparing meals and helping maintain daily routines. Senior Care I have provided non-medical senior care focused on companionship, safety, and daily support. My experience includes assisting with meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, transportation, and offering meaningful conversation and emotional support. I truly enjoy senior care because I value building trust, listening to life stories, and helping individuals maintain comfort, dignity, and independence. Pet Care I have experience caring for a variety of pets and breeds and have been trusted with pet sitting and dog walking. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, including those that shed. My services include walking, feeding, playtime, basic care routines, and ensuring pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Household Services I have experience with house sitting and general household support, including light cleaning, laundry, organizing, cooking, and running errands. I prefer to use your cleaning supplies and equipment and I will always treat homes with care and respect. I am reliable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy supporting families and individuals in meaningful ways. I look forward to providing dependable, thoughtful care you can trust.

"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)."
