Hello! My name is Skylar Kennedy and I have always known that I love working with kids. I am the oldest of 7 children and started looking after the little ones very early on. Then in my teens and early 20s I started coaching Pop Warner cheer, working in children's theatre groups, and babysitting as much as possible. I started being a nanny at 19years old and just kept up the momentum. I now have worked with over 100 kiddos ranging in age from 3weeks to 15 years old. I also have extensive experience with children on the spectrum, kids with verbal or developmental delays, deaf or non verbal, ADHD, and Anxiety disorders. I am currently finishing up my bachelor's degree in child development and have my first aid/CPR certification. My approach with kids is just meeting them where they are and understanding that children learn and communicate through play. There's so much value in making a mess and/or playing outside as much as possible. Everything can be a learning experience without it even feeling like we have taught a child anything because we just had so much fun getting dirty and cleaning up together. For jobs 3 days or less per week and one time bookings, I do have a late cancellation policy. Cancellations with less than 24hrs notice will result in a 1/2 payment. Ex: if my projected pay was 100$ for the day, the late payment would be 50$. For full time families, I require guaranteed hours per week, paid on the books through a payroll service at 30-40$ per hour depending on responsibilities and number of children. I also prefer to negotiate for holiday/sick days (typically 2 weeks vacation and 1 weeks work of sick time but again we can negotiate a bit!) I also teach acting and baking lessons as well as holding mini craft workshops. If interested, please reach out for details and rates!

Booked by 4 families in Huntington Beach, CA

Hello! A little about me is I have most of my experience with infants and toddlers, as the families I have babysat for are usually for younger children, but older kids are always welcome. Please let me know if you need a reference at any time! For some additional peace of mind, I have been BLS CPR certified for the last two years and am pursuing a nursing career to hopefully work in the Neonatal ICU in the near future! I’d love to give my full attention and care for up to 1-3 children. If needed, I do have my own transportation and wouldn’t mind going to the library or park. Please reach out for any concerns or questions! Additionally, I am very comfortable around dogs/cats, have grown up with them my whole life, and would love to care for them if that is the care you are looking for instead!

“Hailey is great definitely will rebook. ”

Marta $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Marta. I first came to Orange County from Europe (Poland) as an au pair, and caring for kids has remained part of my life ever since, from family and friends’ children to working with kids, teenagers and students in Los Angeles. I genuinely enjoy young people. I’m curious about what interests them, love encouraging their creativity and confidence, and I’m equally comfortable being playful or providing structure when they need it. I recently moved back to Orange County and would love to connect with a few local families who want someone mature, dependable, warm and actually engaged with their kids. I also happen to be a great cook, love art, culture and exploring the world, and speak both English and Polish. Most importantly, I want kids to feel safe, comfortable and happy being themselves around 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."
