Hello everyone, my name is Abril (24yr old) and I currently go to Orange Coast College. I have my drivers license and valid insurance. I’ve worked with kids (I’ve babysat my sister my sister since she was 9 years old, and we have a 6 year age difference & I babysit my 10 month old niece all the time) and I also worked at a senior living home for 2 years (memory care included). I can cook some meals (mainly Mexican) and help with errands and some household things. I love going to the beach and journaling, I love my cat and family, and I love art and baking!

“Abril is AMAZING. She was on time. So sweet and patient. My girls loved her. She was flexible with time. And even stayed late for us. We would absolutely recommend her. 100% ”

Tracy $25 per hour for 1 child

Well hello lovelies! My name is Tracy and I am looking for a really wonderful family that is looking for a "partner" in their nanny. Over 20 years of experience of both long and short term care. Experienced with newborns, toddlers, multiples, older children and everything in between!! I consider myself your "right arm" and take my job seriously. It's all about connecting and engaging with your child. Knowing how to navigate big emotions and finding fun activities to redirect helps kids learn how to self soothe! I love to read, be outdoors and find play time activities that make everyone's heart sing. Clean background check, resume, CPR/First Aid Certified, clean DMV with excellent references!

"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."
