Hello I’m a mother of 4 grown men. I raised my boys by myself but thrived for them to be strong, independent, hardworking, kind Christian men and those are strong morals that I have. For some reason I’m a magnet to kids lol which is amazing to me cause I love kids so I’ve acquired many many nieces and nephews. I go by Angel so I’m always “Auntie Angel” which I love. I love the outdoors, craft, art, music, animals, reading, movies, cooking, and anything adventurous so with that being said your child will definitely have an adventure with me everyday! Plus I’m strong believer in learning but I like the more creative ways to learn to make it fun and so you remember what you learn! I do have degree in computer programming (so I am smart :)), CNA (so I’ve taken care of elders with all their needs, which makes me very patient and compassionate), been server/GM at restaurant (so I’m responsible, clean, multi tasked, patient, prompt,loyal,trustworthy), and many other jobs. Also have CPR and first aid. Since I’m single and have no kids I’m free morning thru night. Call me anytime you want some adult time or need to run errands! I’m available and look forward to meeting your family!

Wonderful!!

I have nannied for over 7 years. I graduated from SDSU with a degree in liberal studies- for elementary education. Although I have not transitioned to a classroom I find nannying and caring to be an amazing way to fill my life and work! I have loved many families and lots of different configurations over my time! I’ve worked with multiple toddlers, special needs children, been hands on with elementary schoolers and I’ve grown very comfortable in so many settings. With having such a diverse group of people to nanny for I’ve found myself cooking, cleaning, organizing and even more, I’m happy to help in so many ways!I love to bring a gentle, patient and supportive environment for any kiddo while still providing structure and routine with clear communication. CPR/First aid certified, up to date and also trust line registered

Ace was awesome! Always on time and my little brother loved them! 10/10 recommend

Hello! I'm Cassandra, a dedicated and caring babysitter with over 6 years of experience working with children of all ages from infants to young teens. I have extensive experience caring for infants and toddlers, ensuring they are safe, happy, and well-attended to. I’ve had the pleasure of working with both individual children and groups, creating safe, engaging, and fun environments whether it’s one-on-one care or managing multiple children at once. Additionally, I have a background in working with children with special needs, offering compassionate support tailored to each child’s individual needs. A significant portion of my experience comes from working with families involved in Al-Anon, a support group for those impacted by someone else's alcohol use. This has given me a deeper understanding of the unique dynamics and challenges these families face, allowing me to provide empathetic and supportive care with a focus on their emotional and practical needs. In addition to my babysitting experience, I’ve volunteered with the Best Day Foundation, teaching children how to surf and helping them learn to boogie board. This experience has further developed my ability to care for kids with disabilities in a meaningful way while encouraging their new skills and confidence. I take pride in creating a nurturing, fun, and educational environment while giving parents peace of mind. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, or providing the extra care some children need, I’m here to make sure your little ones are well cared for. I look forward to meeting your family and helping make your life a little easier!

Cassandra is simply amazing! She is so sweet and down to earth. Our kids really enjoy having her over. She plays games with them and really engages in good conversations with them. We will definitely be having her back.

Hi families. everyone calls me Lelé. I’m a creative, loving, patient, and organized. I love care children and animals. I have experience with children from 2 months to 14 years old. I have a lot experience in newborn care, sleep training, potty training, and food introducing, and I also have experience with children with autism and ADHD( references available ).. I’m bilingual in English and Portuguese, I have a valid driver’s license and my own car, and can pick up and drop offs school/activities. I can help with kids’ laundry, light meal prep.. I’m CPR certified, fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and I love pets. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available for overnights, date nights and some weekends. I’m new on this app, but I have many great reviews on Care and Bambino, and I’d be happy to share them along with references from the families I’ve worked with. My rate start $25 per hour, and I’d love to connect to see if we could be a great match. :)

Lele is absolutely wonderful! She is so loving, caring, and attentive… the kind of sitter every parent hopes to find. My son absolutely adores her and lights up whenever she comes over. She has a natural way with kids, making them feel safe, happy, and engaged. I couldn’t recommend her enough to any family looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and reliable.

Booked by 1 family in San Ysidro, CA

My name is Harper, and I am a San Diego State University student studying Musical Theatre with a minor in Business. Alongside my studies, I work in retail, which has strengthened my work ethic, time management, and ability to connect with people. I have over five years of experience working with kids, particularly ages four and up, and was a nanny throughout high school. I love engaging with children, making them smile and laugh, and creating a fun yet safe environment for them to grow. I also have two dogs and a deep love for animals, so I’m more than comfortable caring for pets as well. My passion for caregiving, coupled with my strong sense of responsibility and enthusiasm, makes me a great fit for any family. I am happy to provide references upon request!

Harper has been absolutely great with our 4 year old! She has been punctual, communicative, and attentive!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
