Hello! My name is Dina, I love children and believe they are such a blessing. I’m playful with the little ones and adore cuddles with infants. I have recent and extended experience with both. I have part time, occasional and overnight availability. I’m looking for a nanny position. My experience has been with all ages for over 25 years. Five of those years, my experience have been working at a non-profit organization as a child care provider with all ages, including twins! My preference is working for families who offer long term positions. One word that describes me is reliable, I’m extremely reliable and you can rest assured that you can depend on me. I’m also looking for a family that will offer guaranteed hours. I am also up to date with Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED / American Red Cross. Thank you and blessings on your search! Dina

My kid had a great time hanging out with Dina. She was on-time, flexible and helpful.

Hello... I am a mature lady with abundant energy and fun-loving disposition...I am a very experienced babysitter... Mother of six /Grandmother, too! I live in Santee but occasionally spend time in La Jolla or Laguna Niguel at my children’s homes and when I do I apply for work in those areas, as well as, when I am at home in Santee🙂 I loved spending many years helping my grown children by taking care of their little ones💗while they were working! Besides helping them out I experienced a great deal of happiness being with my grandchildren! Here in California I have two beautiful Grand-daughters that I love spending time with when their busy schedules permit! I am on call for babysitting on date night for my kids and the families I babysit for, also! I have movie night on some Fridays with my 10 year old and 13 year old Grand-sons! A little something about me: I'm from Maine, and have resided in some awesome cities, such as, Palm Beach, San Francisco, Los Angeles, where I've had the great pleasure of singing with the Agape choir, performing with talented artists like John Legend, and now currently living in San Diego! I am a published artist, love theater, and have especially loved watching my six kids grow into successful, creative, kind, individuals! I have plenty of available time for babysitting and babysitting for families who need child care is a continuation of doing what I love to do... So far most of the families I have done babysitting for have paid me in cash....which is my preference! Would that work for you? I am often paid by Venmo or Zelle and that is fine, as well🙂 I do have some availability in my schedule and would like to discuss the specifics of what you will be requiring to meet the needs of your family! Sad to say but because of the high cost of gas I’ve had to increase my rate from $18 to $20 & I have to require a 4 hour minimum☹️ I look forward to hearing from you! Have a great day! Carol🌷

Carol was excellent! Looking forward to having her 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)."

Eric D., dad of two
