Betsy $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Betsy, and I’m a fully qualified preschool teacher and experienced caregiver based in San Diego. I’ve been working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers for over a year now, starting just 3 days after high school graduation. My love for childcare started with my high school daycare internship and now i am a lead teacher in a Reggio-inspired, play-based program, along with being part-time babysitter/nanny to multiple families via my babysitting website. I love helping children learn through creativity, sensory play, outdoor exploration, and encouraging independence. I’ve babysat and worked with a wide range of ages, including infants through school-aged kids, and I’m comfortable supporting routines, potty training, emotional regulation, and gentle redirection. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, Mandated Reporter trained, and have completed 12+ ECE units. Families describe me as nurturing, patient, and fun — and I’m always excited to bring activities, structure, and warmth into your child’s day. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

I’m an experienced childcare professional with over seven years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I’ve been both a live-in and full-time nanny, and I’ve supported multiple families over the years with everything from daily routines to developmental activities. I also worked as an after-school program leader for middle school students, giving me strong skills in homework support, behavior management, and creating fun, structured activities. I have experience with children from 2 months up to 12 years old, and I’m confident handling schedules, meal prep, light cleaning, naps, school pick-ups, and creating a safe, warm environment. I’m very organized, reliable, and clean, and I have my own car with a valid driver’s license. I am also CPR certified/infant first aid certified. I love helping families feel supported and making sure their kids feel cared for, engaged, and comfortable!

"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)."
