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 there! I’m Melody, a former early childhood educator with over 10 years of experience supporting families. I’ve worked as a nanny, mother’s helper, and household manager, caring for children from newborns to school-age. My approach is heart-led, organized, and rooted in creating a calm, fun, and safe environment where kids can thrive. I’m currently a corporate professional in between roles, seeking occasional, one-time, and temporary PT/FT roles while I explore my next long-term career step. Families can count on me for reliability, compassion, and clear communication, whether it’s daily routines, creative play, or bedtime stories. Supporting families has always been at the heart of what I do, and I’m honored to help parents find peace of mind knowing their little ones are cared for with patience and love.

“Melody is incredibly sweet, excellent at communication and great with my kid. Melody gave me a date night off to go out, instantly bonded with my kid and made him feel safe and comfortable, and got him to sleep in a hotel room just like it was any other night. ”

Child Care I have experience working with children of various ages, from toddlers to early teens. I enjoy hands on, engaging activities like arts and crafts, baking, reading time, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I’m patient, energetic, and great at keeping kids entertained while also maintaining structure. I’m comfortable helping with school pick-ups, meal prep, bedtime routines, or light tutoring as needed. Pet Care I’ve worked with small to medium breeds. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playtime. Whether your pet needs high-energy outdoor time or just loving companionship, I’m happy to accommodate. Household Services I offer a variety of home assistance such as cleaning, organizing, meal prep, laundry, running errands, and general tidying. I take pride in being detail-oriented and making sure things not only look neat, but feel peaceful and functional. I am adaptable to whatever systems or routines you prefer in your home. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and easy to work with, I’d love to help! Let me know what you need, and I’ll do my best to make your life a little easier. I am certified in CPR
