Jocelyn 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Fountain Valley, CA

Hi, my name is Jocelyn. I’m 43 years old and a single mom of three, with many years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, seniors, and pets. I’m gentle, patient, kind, and have a good sense of humor (or at least I like to think so 😊). I truly enjoy spending time with seniors—listening to their stories, learning from their wisdom, and offering companionship and support. I also have extensive experience caring for children at every stage, from infants to teens. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines, light household tasks, errands, reading, playtime, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I also have experience with pets. I am allergic to cats, but I am willing to take allergy medication if needed. I take pride in being dependable, nurturing, and respectful, and I aim to create a safe, calm, and positive environment for those I care for. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my bio!

“Jocelyn was very professional and approachable. She was a tad late to the scheduled time, but we booked her very last minute! Communication was impeccable. Would 10/10 recommend!”

Tabitha $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm Tabitha, a 32-year-old SoCal native who loves the beach, working out at the gym, being a self-taught polyglot, and pursuing creative activities such as crochet and fashion design. I'm also a Commercial Model and actor-in-training! I've practiced martial arts for about seven years, and what I love most about it is the discipline and confidence that stems from pursuing the art. I also love teaching the kids self-defense, and seeing their eyes light up when they accomplish something new! I have an A.S. in Nutrition, and became a Certified Nutritionist! I'm also studying for my NASM fitness certification, because I absolutely love wellness and educating others on how to live a holistically healthy life! I have 5+ years of caregiving mainly of children ranging from the age of infant to 12+. I've also done some pet sitting of furbabies (mostly doggos!). I love caregiving because it's a chance to allow parents/pet owners to get a break, but also to build interpersonal relationships and socialize with different people and cultures! I also love watching the development and growth of children and bonding with them. I can't wait to meet you! :)

Sade $27 per hour for 1 child

My name is Sade, and I have several years of experience caring for children and animals. I took care of my niece from ages 4 to 7 not only but I’ve cared for many more children, ensuring a safe, fun, and structured environment. I grew up with dogs and cats as well, so I’m very comfortable with pets. In addition, I can cook, clean, and handle all the basic household tasks. I’m patient, reliable, and truly enjoy building trust with kids, seniors, and animals. I’m excited to bring my care, organization, and enthusiasm to your family!

Johanna $22 per hour for 1 child

I bring over a year of experience in babysitting, complemented by a degree in Sociology. For the past six years, I’ve worked as an after-school teacher, where I specialized in providing homework support, maintaining a well-managed classroom environment, and—most importantly—building strong, positive relationships with children. Currently, I am in my second year of nursing school, which has further strengthened my sense of responsibility, patience, and ability to remain calm and attentive in different situations. I truly enjoy working with children and would love the opportunity to bring my experience, reliability, and caring personality to your family. I would be happy to provide references and answer any questions you may have. Thank you for considering me!

"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."
