Booked by 24 families in Cerritos, CA

I have over 30 years of childcare experience both privately and professionally. I am a homeschool parent to 4 young children, including 3 teenagers. While I was in college to obtain a bachelor's in education, I worked as both a nanny and in a daycare for the local school district. I believe that children are full humans deserving of the same respect we would give any adult. I prefer gentle parenting and guidance in lieu of punishment. As a mom, I am well versed with the complex inner workings of running a household. I cook, clean, and everything else for my own family. As for pets, I am a proud kitty mama and have assisted in raising over 50 neonatal kittens as a foster volunteer.

Booked by 8 families in Cerritos, CA

Hi my name is Maisha and I have around 4-5 years of paid babysitting experience! I have a lot of experience working with children, both through my job at Skyzone hosting birthday parties and as an assistant teacher at a preschool. I’ve also been taking care of my younger siblings and the children of my relatives and family friends for over 5 years , so I understand how important it is to be responsible,attentive, and to have fun. My responsibilities have included preparing meals, tutoring, arts/crafts, driving to / from school and more tasks. Im more than happy to help out with any household chores and my hours are very flexible so Im happy to work with your schedule. I’m friendly, outgoing, and love working with kids, so I’m excited to help out with babysitting and make sure your children have a fun and safe time! I am first aid-certified, i have my food handlers card, and my drivers license.

“Maisha is wonderful! She's very attentive, reliable, kind, and respectful. I WFH and needed help with my 7-month old daughter, and my daughter was instantly drawn to her. I really love how communicative and engaging she is with my daughter. Maisha is also very knowledgeable and family oriented. We went through several meet and greet with other candidates, and I knew right away Maisha was the one! I'd highly recommend her for kids of all ages. Our assignment was short because we are moving out of state, but we seriously will miss her! ☺️”

Hi, I’m Dominique! 👋 I’m a 23-year-old UCLA graduate with a genuine love for working with kids. Whether it’s keeping up with energetic toddlers or helping older kids with homework after school, I bring patience, warmth, and a lot of enthusiasm to every sit. I have experience with children ages 1–10 and especially enjoy the toddler and elementary years. There’s nothing better than watching kids learn and grow. As a college grad, I’m also happy to help with reading, basic math, or any homework your little one brings home. Parents can count on me to be attentive, communicative, and always put safety first. I treat every child in my care the way I’d want my own family to be treated; with kindness, structure, and plenty of fun. I’d love to meet your family! 😊 (I do drive as well)

Hi my name is Dana and I’m currently a college student attending cypress college! I absolutely love working with children of all ages, and I’ve been a Girls Scout leader working with young girls and part time with the Boyscouts, for around 4 years now. I’ve been able to deal with children of all ages including seniors in highschool, no child is ever too “hard” to handle, I’ve dealt with every mood swing and every difficult situation you can think of, which has honestly made me a better person and better leader for them as well. I’ve worked with children with severe autism, I’ve worked with blind children, children with disabilities, + Being around children as they grow and learn more about their own personalities and their emotions, has been such an amazing experience to be able to guide them and be someone they could look up to and lean on for advice! please feel free to ask me any questions, and we’ll see if it’s a good fit for you and I!

“Dana’s professionalism and childcare experience are undeniable. She’s great with kids of all ages and is very caring and gentle with children. Highly recommend to book with her!”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
