Booked by 2 families in Santa Ysabel, CA

Hello Parents, My name is Biftuu, and I’m a 34-year-old nanny with a deep passion for working with children and pets. Since relocating here from Ohio, I’ve had the joy of working with many wonderful families, caring for children ranging from newborns and infants to school-age kids. Moving here was a big step—I left behind a large, close-knit family of 10 siblings, where I was the go-to “mommy’s little helper.” From a young age, I was changing diapers and helping with my younger siblings, which sparked my love for caregiving. As I grew older, my enthusiasm for working with children only deepened. I volunteered at my community library as a tutor and reading program coordinator during the summers, and throughout high school, I served as a teacher’s aide for pre-K through middle school. These experiences taught me that children come into the world with boundless potential and that I have a role in nurturing their growth, both academically and emotionally. In addition to my extensive experience with children, I also have years of experience in pet boarding and house sitting. This background has equipped me with the skills to handle various household responsibilities and ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. Working as a nanny allows me to focus on a small number of children, providing personalized care and helping to shape their lives with positive habits, creativity, and lots of laughter. I believe in creating a supportive and loving environment where children can thrive and develop important life skills. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and discuss how I can contribute to your child’s development and well-being. Feel free to reach out—I look forward to hearing from you! Warm regards, Biftuu

Booked by 24 families in Santa Ysabel, CA

Hi, I’m Melanie. I am a dedicated childcare professional and educator with a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Development and a state-issued teaching permit. My background is rooted in early childhood education, and I have spent years in various settings, from running my own preschool classroom to working in specialized schools with children who have autism and other disabilities. Because of my additional training in school counseling, I am especially focused on emotional regulation and helping children feel secure and heard, no matter their age or needs. I know how stressful it can be to find someone you truly trust with your children, which is why I prioritize clear communication and consistency. I am proud to have built a reputation here on the app with positive reviews and the opportunity to work with nine repeat families. I also have extensive experience supporting families long-term, including a wonderful five-year placement with one family before they moved out of state, and I take pride in building those lasting, reliable relationships. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have a clean background, and have a current negative TB test. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment so you can feel completely at ease whenever you are away. I would love to connect, and talk more to answer questions.

Melanie was wonderful and I’d love to have her back. My 17 month old had a blast with her.

Olivia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Olivia and I offer infant care and child care. I am going to Grand Canyon University 100% online (majoring in business marketing) so that means I am available all mornings during the week! WHY I LOVE NANNYING: Well first of all, I LOVE KIDS! I have always been the girl in the family who hangs out with the little kids at every family event and have dreamed of having my own kids one day (in the not so near future lol)! When I started babysitting in 7th grade, I absolutely adored it. I have multiple families who I have been babysitting for 4+ years. It is really important to me to build a connection not only with the kids, but the whole family. I love doing anything and everything with the kids I babysit and nanny! I have done everything with the kids I have watched in the past from teaching them soccer, coloring with chalk on the sidewalk, just holding the smaller little babies, and playing Roblox or VR with the older kids!! EXPERIENCE: I have been babysitting since I was in 7th grade, I was a teacher's assistant at a preschool during my freshman and sophomore years of high school, and most recently, I was a children's soccer coach! I taught mommy and me classes on Saturdays to 10 month olds- 2 year olds. In the past, I have also coached 3-5 year olds and 8-11 year olds. I just finished a nannying job for a 2 yr old and 7 yr old since September so I am looking for something part time! I am currently working for another family that I met on this website. They have 2 kids, 10 year old boy and 12 year old boy. I work for them Monday-Friday 2 pm- 9 pm so other than that, I am free!! RATES: My preferred rates are in the "rates category" but if that does not work with a specific family, I am willing to lower my rates if its a good fit and the family is in need of a good nanny :) These rates are just according to my experience and what am currently/ have been payed in the past. Please don't hesitate to reach out even if my rates aren't ideal for your family, I am sure we can discuss and figure out an arrangement!

Daisy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m the sixth child in my family and currently studying Chemical Engineering. I recently moved to San Diego and have been loving it here! I started babysitting for family friends when I was 14 and later cared for a wonderful family with four kids through high school until 2023, when I began working full time at Dignity Health. I truly enjoy spending time with children, helping around the house, and creating a fun, safe, and caring environment. Now that I’m a full time student again, Im excited to babysit for families again :)

"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)."
