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.”

Dana 2 reviews
$21 per hour for 1 child

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."

"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."
