Booked by 11 families in Foothill Ranch, CA

Hi families! I’m Colin, and I’ve been babysitting and caring for children for several years, with hands-on experience caring for children ages 14 months to 10 years old. I recently relocated from San Diego to Irvine after accepting a mechanical engineering position, but childcare is something I’ve genuinely come to love, and I’m excited to continue babysitting on weekends. Happy to provide childcare either in your home or in my own! I especially enjoy working with creative, imaginative kids and have also served as a youth group leader and piano tutor, which strengthened my patience, structure, and ability to encourage children in a positive, engaging way. Happy to provide additional references from my Care.com profile, where you can read reviews from other families I’ve worked with! I specialize in screen-free activities like reading, pretend play, crafts, outdoor play, and positive daily routines. I also have experience supporting children who are shy or neurodivergent, and always adapt my approach to help them feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, Home Care Aide (HCA) certified, fingerprint background checked, TB cleared, have reliable transportation with booster seats, and a clean driving record. As a bonus, I’m also happy to help with handyman tasks around the house! If you’re looking for someone kind, dependable, and genuinely invested in your child’s well-being, I’d love to help your family!

“Colin showed up right on time and immediately started to get to know my kids. He asked thoughtful questions and my kids took to him right away. He kept me updated as to when the kids were asleep which helped to make my night the relaxing and peaceful one I needed. Thank you Colin! will def be hiring again in the future.”

Booked by 130 families in Foothill Ranch, CA

I am a warm, reliable pediatric occupational therapy professional, child development specialist and mom to a 18 month old girl dedicated to creating a safe, engaging, and enriching environment for every child in my care. I specialize in newborns and understand firsthand how vulnerable it can feel to leave your baby with someone new. I have experience caring for children from as young as 10 days old through the preteen years and that’s before I had my daughter. ☺️ My background in pediatric occupational therapy allows me to thoughtfully support developmental milestones through age-appropriate play, sensory activities, and individualized care. I am skilled in assisting with travel, sleep routines, parent education, and overnight care. During weekday daytime hours (Monday–Friday), I am seeking positions where I am able to bring my young child along. This arrangement can provide opportunities for social development, modeling, and interactive play in a small, nurturing environment while I continue to prioritize safety, structure, and each child’s unique needs. I’m open to part or full time for the right fit. I am also available for evening, weekend, overnight, and travel care without my child present, if preferred. Thank you — I look forward to connecting with your family!

“We had a wonderful experience with Nicole! Although our 16-month-old daughter can be a bit slow to warm up, Nicole was very patient and fantastic at keeping her engaged. By the time we left, our daughter was happily giggling and playing with her. Nicole even shared some great, practical suggestions on feeding and communication. We felt completely at ease, and our daughter was so happy. Highly recommend 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."
