Booked by 14 families in San Ysidro, CA

Hi, I’m Gracie! I graduated from UCLA with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Applied Developmental Psychology (ADP). Through the ADP minor, I completed 26 units of Early Childhood Education (ECE) coursework that meet the requirements for the California Child Development Permit (Site Supervisor level). I’m now preparing to apply to a master’s program in Occupational Therapy. I currently support three families, and have experience caring for children from 3 months to 12 years old. I completed a nine-month internship at an early childhood education center working with toddlers (18-36 months) and have babysat school-aged children, volunteered at elementary schools for over eight years, and mentored high school students through the college application process. I love working with children and strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. I especially enjoy utilizing the outdoors and play-based activities to foster child-initiated learning and help children build confidence and independence. I’m patient, reliable, CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, TB tested, and comfortable supporting daily routines from school drop-offs to bedtime. I’d love the chance to support your family! References available upon request.

Booked by 28 families in San Ysidro, CA

Hello, my name is Alanna. I have many hats, but being a mommy is my favorite one. I am CPR Certified for all ages from infants up, and pregnant women. I have taken a child development class, and did learn a lot of helpful information to understand my kids better and just kids in general. I have been caring for kids for over 20 years now, and have 4 kids of my own, that are 15, 11, 9, and 5. I currently work with foster youth (from ages birth until 18) as my full time job. Ive been doing it for over 3 years, and I love it! I’ve also worked with seniors in the past. So I've had a lot of experience with all ages and many different backgrounds and personalities. I am willing to do some light housework, cooking, and send text/ picture updates while you are away. Weekends and week days depending the time work best for me. I can also do drop in care at my home anytime if you’re comfortable with that. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! *I’m allergic to cats, and cannot accept a job if there are cats.I apologize for any inconvenience.*

“Alanna is great. She helped us out last min when a sitter bailed hours before a shift. She was great with our kids and left our place cleaner than when we left. 100 recommend! And will be using again! ”

Watched twins newborns so always ready to jump in and help.

Booked by 6 families in San Ysidro, CA

My name is Jiranan, but I go by Nadia because it’s easier to say. I currently work as a caregiver and am looking for a side job working with children to gain more experience. I’m a responsible and easygoing high school graduate who enjoys working with kids and helping others. I have about 3 years of volunteer experience teaching and assisting children, along with some hands-on caregiving experience, including working with special needs individuals. I’m fluent in Thai and Lao, and I’m known for being patient, dependable, and open-minded. I like getting to know each child’s personality and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I’m always willing to learn and grow while doing my best in everything I do.

Kimberly 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Kimberly, and caring for children has been a meaningful part of my life for more than 30 years. As a mother of four grown children and a proud grandmother, I bring not only extensive childcare experience, but the patience, warmth, and understanding that come from a lifetime of caring for little ones. I have experience with children from newborns through age 13, including overnight newborn care and caring for multiple children at once. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a non-smoker, have reliable transportation, and am very comfortable with pets. My childcare style is loving, attentive, and hands-on. I believe children thrive with plenty of interaction and very limited screen time. Depending on their age, our days might include reading, singing, imaginative play, arts and crafts, sensory activities, outdoor adventures, walks, trips to the park, and age-appropriate activities that encourage developmental milestones. With babies, I especially enjoy tummy time, floor play, reading, singing, and helping them explore their world safely. I believe in gentle, respectful caregiving while also providing consistency and age-appropriate boundaries. Every child deserves to feel safe, heard, encouraged, and genuinely loved while in my care. I also value open communication with parents and understand the importance of respecting each family’s routines, parenting preferences, and household. Most importantly, I don’t see nannying as simply watching children. I want parents to leave knowing their little ones are with someone who will protect them, engage with them, encourage them, and care for them as if they were my own. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted and dependable part of your family’s support system. Kimberly

“It is a pleasure to recommend Kimberly as a nanny. She brings warmth, patience, and genuine care to her work, creating an environment where children feel safe, loved, and encouraged to be themselves. Kimberly has a wonderful ability to connect with children and make everyday moments meaningful. Whether she is reading stories, planning creative activities, supporting routines, or offering comfort, she approaches each child with kindness and attention to their individual needs. She encourages curiosity and independence while providing gentle, consistent guidance. Just as valuable is the peace of mind she gives parents. Kimberly is dependable, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. She understands the trust involved in caring for someone’s children and treats that responsibility with tremendous care. Any family would be fortunate to have Kimberly in their lives. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a loving, trustworthy, and dedicated nanny.”

"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)."
