I am currently a second year in college. I am getting a degree in special education to become an elementary school special education teacher. I am the oldest out of 10 cousins so I have a lot of experience with babysitting. I am from Huntington Beach, California. I have been doing softball lessons with kids ages 6-15 for about 5 years now and I love it! It’s so much fun to work with the kids and see them grow as a person and in the sport. I also volunteered at a local church and worked in the nursery and the toddler room. I am a huge family person and I will always be. I know American Sign Language but I am not fully fluent.

Hi! I am a nanny with 8+ years of professional childcare experience, including 2 years of working at a private preschool. My experience ranges from full time infant care to groups of 1-2-year-olds, 3-5 , elementary, and middle school-aged children. I have a bachelors degree, CPR & First Aid certifications. I can assist with planning fun daily activities, meal prep, housekeeping, baby milestones and all infant related care, and light housekeeping as needed. I can also provide excellent references and reviews. I look forward to meeting your family!

Bailie $28 per hour for 1 child

I’m a very reliable, patient, and attentive caregiver with a calm, positive energy. I’m recently engaged (getting married this October!) and spent the last 5 years living in Corona del Mar before moving to Eastside Costa Mesa. I’ve worked with kids of all ages and am comfortable helping with the day-to-day—meals, naps, homework, and keeping them entertained with creative play or getting outside. I’ve volunteered at Mariners Church with infants, TK, and early elementary kids, and I also coached swim for ages 10–18, so I’m used to a wide range of personalities and energy levels. My nephew is 6 months old, so I definitely have a soft spot for infants and am very attentive to their routines, from feedings and naps to just creating a calm, comforting environment. I’m naturally patient and organized, and I really try to create a space where kids feel safe, relaxed, and happy. I’m also more than happy to help with light household tasks or pets. Overall, I’m someone families can count on to be dependable, communicative, and easy to have around.

"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."
