Booked by 1 family in Dana Point, CA

I'm a warm, fun-loving, and enthusiastic nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for children from newborns (including preemies) through school age. Ive had the privilege of working with multiple families, which has given me a deep understanding of child development, patience, compassion and the importance of creating a safe nurturing environment. As the oldest of three, caring for others has always come naturally to me. I truly love all aspects of childcare -- from hands-on playtime and mealtimes to outdoor adventures and supporting them through age appropriate milestones. I strive to create a positive, engaging and loving experience for every child in my care. Im happy to provide references upon request and am also very comfortable with family pets.

Casie 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child

I’m a career Nanny and Newborn Care Specialist who loves working with children and truly enjoys being able to help and watch them grow. I have tutoring experience alongside nanny experience and have a college degree. I'm responsible, reliable, energetic and caring. Please let me know if you have any questions.

“I’m not even sure how to start a review of Casie because she has truly been everything to us. We found her through a nanny site 3 years ago as we were trying to find someone we could feel comfortable with doing periodic date nights out for us. We have 2 kids (now 7 and 5) who hadn’t been cared for by anyone else so we were apprehensive. Casie made us feel so comfortable right from the start. She was energetic, and interactive with the kids from the very beginning. After having her do once in a while date nights for us for a few months, we knew we needed her involved more with our family. We were able to have her come help us full time. Our youngest needed more one on one attention and wasn’t doing well in the daycare environment so we pulled him out of school to be home full time with Casie. She always came in with ideas of how to help and guide him and built in education into his schedule so he didn’t fall behind in anything in learning and development. She had a standard schedule (but was always very flexible in changes), and really established a routine with him. We gave her full access to everything in our house, with the kids and our lives. She had my credit card for purchases and a key to our house. She is always one step ahead of us to keep our household organized and together. Casie was with us now full time for about a year and a half and part time for about 6 months as well. Her move to California was the only reason she is not with us anymore. Otherwise I would have loved to have her forever. She has truly become part of our family. She is incredibly kind, diligent, trustworthy, takes our kids on adventures, cares for them as her own and has worked with me and my husband as a team. She truly does it all and is patient along the way. You could not find a better person to do this along with your family. She is truly one of a kind.”

$40 per hour for 1 child

I worked as a full-time nanny for 20 years before having three of my own children. My children are grown and out of the home I’m looking to get back into babysitting occasionally, doula care, pet care, or housesitting. I have several amazing references in the local area of Orange County. I am still friends with many of the families I worked for. I have a masters in teaching and education from Chapman University. I teach pool safety 3mos-18mos. CPR certified. I enjoy art and taking kids on picnics to the parks and outdoor education activities or kids museums. I absolutely love children and animals.

“So many positive things to say about Tamara. Probably the only person I am Completely comfortable leaving my three kids with. She has a tremendous amount of energy. You & you'll Children will love her. She is kind, honest and a lot of fun!”

Maelena $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello :) My name is Elena and I work part time at an ice cream shop, although I’m willing to help offer with babysitting children and infants as young as newborns. I have experience in childcare from newborns all the way up to eighteen years old, I also have experience is taking care of elderly citizens since I’ve taken care of my own parents and grandparents before they’ve passed away. I’m willing to take responsibility of taking children to school, the park, outside, or anything necessary. I’m also perfectly okay with any animals present in the family.

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
