Booked by 15 families in Vista, CA

Hi, my name is Jacqueline! I am from San Jose. I went to University of San Francisco to major in Politics and minor in Legal Studies. I also recently finished my Master’s of Public Administration and Public Policy from University of Southern California. I am hoping to pursue law school next so I am currently saving up for that! I have always found a great deal of happiness when taking care of children, so I look forward to spending my free time babysitting. I enjoy interacting with the children (especially seeing how much energy they have) and watching them develop tremendously over time. I am CPR/AED certified[removed]67971) by the American Heart Association. Here is a little background about my experience: In my family, I am one of the oldest cousins so my aunts/uncles always look to me to babysit their kids. Not only have I had experience in babysitting, but also formally engaged in tutoring elementary students for over 5 years and guiding youth - elementary students in youth camps/ science camps. I look forward to simply helping your family out and meeting your kids! Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Jacqueline was fabulous with our son. He had a great time and she took care of him very well.

Amanda $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amanda , and I have over 5 years of hands-on experience providing loving, dependable care for children of all ages. Caring for kids has always come naturally to me. I’ve been the go-to babysitter for my younger cousins and grew up helping care for my little sister and brother, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a safe, nurturing environment. I am also going to school for nursing, I am finishing up my pre-reqs. Once i graduate i want to work in pediatrics or NICU. I haven't decided just yet! My responsibilities included cooking nutritious meals, keeping the home clean and organized, and planning fun, age-appropriate activities. I regularly took the children to the park, swimming, and to school, while making sure their days were structured, safe, and full of learning and play. I also helped with naps, feeding, and maintaining consistent routines. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and care into your home and help create a positive, loving environment for your children.

Lisa $35 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced nanny, Family Assistant, parenting educator, and published children’s author with a genuine love for children and families. I’m also the mom of two grown sons whom I homeschooled through 10th grade. I’ve worked professionally with private families since 2017, caring for children from infancy through school age, including neurodivergent children. I’m warm, playful, calm, dependable, and emotionally attuned, with a particular passion for helping children build confidence, independence, and emotional regulation skills. I also genuinely enjoy the household side of family support—healthy meal prep, laundry, errands, organization, transportation, household resets, and creating systems that make family life easier. I’m comfortable with pets, love being active and outdoors, and bring a mature, grounded presence along with plenty of energy and fun. Before working with private families, I spent 28 years with Nordstrom in leadership, training, and operations. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and would love to find families who value warm, reliable, proactive care.

"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)."
