Cassie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Cassie! I am located in La Mesa, CA, and I am looking for part-time or full-time nanny/babysitting opportunities! I am in the final semester of my junior year at San Diego State University, but I will have a very flexible schedule when I begin working in May. If you're looking for responsible, hardworking, and reliable help with your family, I’m your gal! I am an outgoing, active, and experienced caregiver with several years of babysitting experience across numerous families and children of various ages. Most recently, I provided consistent, long-term care from 2021 to 2024 for a family with both an infant and a toddler, and I continued working with families into 2025. During this time, I took care of infants, toddlers, elementary school-age children, and preteens; through these roles, I have developed a strong ability to manage multiple children at once while maintaining a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. I love incorporating art, sports, outdoor activities, and creative play into my time with kids to keep them engaged, active, and having fun. I am happy to help around the house with day-to-day chores such as housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation, and to establish and maintain routines, whether that’s assisting with homework, organizing activities, or supporting daily schedules. I’m very comfortable with all aspects of childcare, including bath time, bedtime routines, and creating a calm, positive environment at the end of the day. And of course, I love all pets! I am CPR and First Aid certified, so I’m always ready to keep your kids safe while still having fun! I have a clean driving record and am comfortable with pickups/drop-offs, attending events, and traveling with the family! I am looking to start consistent care in early to mid-May, indefinitely! I pride myself on being dependable, organized, and attentive, while also bringing a fun, warm, and energetic presence into the home. If I seem like a good fit for your needs and your family, please do not hesitate to reach out with questions or inquiries! Thank you for your time and consideration, Cassie

Hi! I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with a background in Early Childhood Education and a passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive.

Thanks to my background in education, I enjoy incorporating fun, age-appropriate learning activities into everyday play while following each family's parenting style and routines. Families describe me as reliable, calm, patient, and easy to communicate with. I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents through consistency, kindness, and open communication.

"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)."
