Kids

Need a babysitter? Work/Life's babysitting website can help you find UCSD students who are interested in caring for children.

Get started

You can use the resource in 2 ways:

  • Publish a job posting and wait for a babysitter to contact you.
  • View babysitter profiles and contact one directly.

Tips for parents

  • Interview sitters and check their references. UCSD does not train or screen sitters.
  • Provide the sitter with as much information as possible.
  • Find out if the sitter has any allergies, dietary concerns, fear of pets, or special needs.
  • Discuss payment directly with the sitter. $10-15 per hour is standard, depending on the sitter's experience and your number of children.
  • Post your job early to allow plenty of time to select a sitter.

Note: Sitters may not bring children into UCSD housing under any circumstances.

For student babysitters

If you're a UCSD student who would like to register to be a babysitter, see information for babysitters.
