Hi I’m Lauren! I am an engineer by trade, and a loving aunt by life! I’m currently here to help support my sister while she needs babysitting help. Thank you!
“Warm, friendly, and great with kids (and pets)!”
I’m a San Diego native and new to UrbanSitter. I am looking to help you and your family out. I have experience babysitting and coaching kids. I grew up playing basketball, soccer, flag football, and ran track . I’m very active and like to reflect that in my care. I’m great with kids and make every experience a learning opportunity. It’s never too early start. I’m active so I love getting the little ones involved with extra curricular activities. I’m always open for a phone conversation or a FaceTime! I can assure your little ones will be in good hands. It would be an honor to partake in your childcare.
“Fantastic sitter! She covered for us in the clutch and did a great job. Our kids love her , everyone felt comfortable and we instantly felt like we’ve known her for a long time. ”
Hi! I’m Riley, I’m a recent CSUSM grad looking into getting my teaching credential. I’m offering Child care, house sitting, and dog sitting. I absolutely love being a babysitter, i grew up in a large family so i’ve actually been watching kids since I was 9 years old and have taken on a number of responsibilities throughout my time including cooking, cleaning, watching dogs, and bath/ bedtime for younger kids.
With experience in fire service, caregiving, and fine-dining kitchens, I provide calm, professional, detail-oriented care and exceptional service tailored to each client.
Hello! My name is Emma, and I’m a caring, dependable, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys helping others and creating a safe, comfortable environment for the people and pets in my care. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your loved ones, your home, or your pets. I believe that trust is built through kindness, reliability, respect, and being attentive to the individual needs of each person and family. My background is in education and energy healing. I’ve worked as an elementary school classroom aide in my 20s, a middle school and high school substitute teacher in my 30s, and a pre-k language assessor for the San Diego County School District in my 40s. I’m also an energy healing guide and have over 15 years of experience leading sound bath meditations and practicing a healing-hands approach. Throughout my life, I’ve been drawn to helping and caring for others. I believe every life is precious, and I feel honored whenever someone trusts me with the care of someone or something important to them. I would love the opportunity to learn about your specific needs, routines, and preferences and see how I can be helpful to you and your family. I look forward to connecting!

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
