$27 per hour for 1 child

Hello all, I’m here looking for a part-time position, open to full time for the right fit . I have 4+ years experience as a childcare provider for kids all age, naturally empathetic and loving, responsible, fun and energetic. I have reliable transportation so being on time is not a problem. I hope we can connect soon :)

“Amanda has babysat my children and I highly recommend her. She is incredibly sweet, patient, caring, and attentive. My son is usually very attached to me and can take time to feel comfortable with other people, but he felt much more at ease with Amanda, which meant a lot to me. My daughter absolutely loved her and was so happy with her babysitter. Amanda arrived a few minutes early so she could ask about allergies, routines, and anything else she needed to know, and she also gave me enough time to say goodbye to the kids before my date night. She made them dinner, took great care of them, and made them feel safe and comfortable. When I came home, my daughter immediately told me that I should call Amanda again because she was so good with them. That says everything to me. I would absolutely trust Amanda with my children again and would recommend her to any family looking for someone kind, responsible, patient, and genuinely good with kids.”

Booked by 1 family in San Ysidro, CA

Fulltime Boy/Girl mom while chasing a dream to being a future law enforcement officer, and aspiring first responder. Completed EMT school and currently work for an ambulance company from 10pm-6am. Currently in the process to start law enforcement and working towards my goal. As a full-time mom, I’ve developed strong caregiving skills through providing a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for my children. I’m compassionate, patient, dependable, and highly organized. I communicate effectively, remain calm under pressure, and adapt quickly to changing situations. Caring for my family has strengthened my ability to multitask, solve problems, and put others’ well-being first—qualities that I believe make me a dedicated and capable caregiver. I am fairly new to the app & was booked on here by a wonderful family & have continued to work outside this booking site :) looking to meet new families. Certs - BLS & American Red Cross adult and pediatric FIRST AID/CPR/AED - EMT certification

Hi, I'm Gaby. I'd describe my personality as calm, steady, and nurturing. I like caring for homes, mother of two kids (10-6 years) I enjoy cleaning and having a clean home. I'm currently looking for side work that allows me to stay present for my kids while helping a family that I can assist with nurturing and helping their children grow. I was working in a nursery home for around 4 years. In my spare time, I like to read, keep my home clean, cook and spend time at home with my family. My skills include cleaning, laundry, cooking, child care and elderly care.

"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)."
