Dominique 2 reviews
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Downey, CA

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 there! I’m a reliable and nurturing caregiver with over 10 years of experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. I’m patient, organized, and truly enjoy helping others feel comfortable and cared for. Families describe me as dependable, warm, and detail-oriented—I always go above and beyond to make sure everyone’s needs are met. Whether it’s keeping your pets happy, supporting an active household, or assisting an elderly loved one, I treat every client like family.

“Jannet has been absolutely wonderful with our family. She is dependable, caring, and truly attentive to my child’s needs. From the first time she babysat for us, she made everything feel effortless—she communicated clearly, arrived on time, and immediately built a great connection with my child. She follows instructions perfectly, keeps the home organized, and always checks in with updates so we feel at ease while we’re away. Jannet is calm, patient, and incredibly responsible. I trust her completely, and I’m grateful to have found someone so reliable. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and professional sitter.”

Hello, my name is Marleen. Although I’m only 19 years old I am very experienced with taking care of children with care and lots of patience. I just got on this app which is why I have few reviews but I’ve been babysitting for about two years now. I am an older sister of three siblings 14, 12, and 9 years old. I have been surrounded with kids/ babies my whole life. At just the age of nine I was in charge of taking care of my siblings. I would and still take care of them on a daily basis. I know that at times things could get chaotic but I am the best fit for that task. I have also babysit for my fellow friends and family members. I could also pet sit if that’s needed. If you need help with chores around the house I’m willing to help too but with a raise. If there is any specific things needed to do I will be gladly to do them. I am very familiar with soccer, track, xc, and basketball as I played all these sports in high school. I love to stay active!

Fung 3 reviews
$21 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Downey, CA

Hi , my name is Queenie and Fung is my official name. I graduated from East Los Angeles community college. I’m a house wife and a mother of 15 year old son. My family includes my husband, my son and 3 dogs. I enjoy being a babysitter because l love kids. I volunteer at my son’s school, Repetto Elementary School for 3 years, assisting kindergarten teachers with craft projects . Additionally, I have volunteer at the San Gabriel Humane Society Animal Shelter for 8 years, walking with the dogs, doing laundry and helping with events. I also serve as the secretary of the Honor Society at Sunshine Tennis School at Tample City, where my son has been a student for 6 years and my husband volunteers as a coach almost every Sunday morning. Furthermore, I had volunteered at my son’s Boy Scouts workshop at the T286 Troop in Monterey Park since he was 6 years old. Through these experiences, l have learned how to care for and communicate with both children and animals. I cook for my family every day and manage household chores. I am seeking a part time or full time job to continue supporting my family. I hope to hear from you ! l took a Babysitter training with the American Red Cross and also received a certificate on August 3, 2024. I have completed the American Heart Association Basic Life Support (CPR and AED) program and received their certification, along with a First Aid certification card on August 15 and 18, 2024. I attended the CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) basic lifesaving training class at the Monterey Park Fire Department in November 7-10. The CERT certificate will be sent out to participants in a couple of months. I have been caring for a young girl since 2024, starting when she was 9 months old (she is now 2 years and 8 months). Previously, from 2024 to 2025, I spent a year babysitting a 6-year-old girl and her 1-and-a-half-year-old brother.

“Queenie (Fung Yeung) took care of my daughter for almost two years, and I honestly can't say enough good things about her. She didn't just watch my daughter — she genuinely cared for her and went above and beyond every single day. She was patient, warm, and so attentive, and she put real thought into helping my daughter learn and grow, turning everyday moments into little learning opportunities. My daughter adored her, and I always knew she was in the very best hands. We are so grateful to have had Queenie in our lives, and I recommend her wholeheartedly to any family.”

Booked by 1 family in Downey, CA

Hi - My name is Antonella I am offering child care I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers (including twins!) since I was 25 years old I have had the opportunity to go on a trip with families taking care of their babies , Work in a school I have 5 years of experience and very good references

“Antonella was amazing with our 13-month-old child. We needed help pretty last minute because daycare was unavailable, and she really came through for us at a time when we both needed to work from home. She was warm, patient, easy to talk to, and great with our child right away. She kept them entertained, helped with meals and the usual routine, and just made the whole day a lot less stressful for us. It was such a relief being able to focus on work and know our child was happy and being well taken care of. We’d absolutely have Antonella help us again and would definitely recommend her to other parents.”

"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."
