Olamide $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Olamide, currently a 3rd year at San Diego state. I’ve been babysitting since I was a child myself, it’s something I enjoyed and always volunteered myself for. As I got older, I made sort of a career out of it, charging for my services. I’ve worked with all ages ranging from new infants to elementary school kids. Whether it’s to help a new mom with baby chores/duties after giving birth, or watching the kids while they’re out, or light housecleaning, meal prep, etc, I do it all, and well at that! I have been told by all my clients that they’re always so grateful for my help and that’s something I’m extremely proud of! I would love to be of help in any way I can! Feel free to reach out!

I have years of professional caregiving experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. My background includes working as a Medication Technician and supporting seniors with neurodegenerative disorders, along with extensive hands-on experience caring for infants and young children. I am comfortable managing feeding schedules, diaper changes, sleep routines, developmental play, and helping little ones reach important milestones from infancy through early childhood. Along with my caregiving skills, I also assist with housekeeping and laundry, ensuring a well-maintained and comfortable environment. Beyond my professional experience, I have volunteered for several years, further enriching my ability to connect with and care for others. I’m an active individual, regularly involved in hobbies like rock climbing, kayaking, and yoga, which keep me energetic and focused. Additionally, I’ve been a clarinetist for over 10 years, bringing creativity and discipline into all aspects of my life. I’m dedicated to offering compassionate, reliable care, while maintaining a fun, supportive, and positive environment. Let’s work together to create a nurturing and safe space for your family!

Booked by 1 family in San Ysidro, CA

Hello - My name is Karyn. I have several years of cargiving experience, including; child and nanny care from ages 1 to 13 years old, live in elder care, and pet sitting/dog walking. I feel that work in caring for others where support is needed is one of the most rewarding works that we can do. I also feel that as adults one of the most important things we can do is to help support and shape children into the adults they will become; practicing values, such as honesty and kindness, while honoring the childs path of becoming. I am a nature lover and I will be very happy to play with your children outdoors, sit outside and enjoy a breeze together, or take your furry companion on a walk. I also enjoy to play games, read books, and I love to cook, so I am happy to provide healthy meals according to dietary needs and requests. Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you for considering me for your cargiving position.

Tracy $22 per hour for 1 child

I loved to working with kids because I enjoy spending time with children. I find joy in watching little grow, learn new things and explore the world around them. I'd describe my personality as Caring, reliable, and patient. I like working with kids because I truly supporting children's growth and creating a safe fun environment. I'm looking for a job that where I can use my childcare experience to support a family, while also continuing to grow my skill. I started working with children in 2018, so I now have over 6 year of experience. During that time, I have cared for children in both home babysitting setting and daycare environment. One thing you should know about me is as a mother of 3boys, I understand the importance of patience , care and structure. My skills include keeping children safe and nurtured, supporting their learning and development through fun activities, and being reliable, patience that families can count on.

"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)."
