Booked by 11 families in Irvine, 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 98 families in Irvine, CA

Hi hi 👋🏾 My name is Brianna, but call me “Bri.” I’ve been living in San Francisco for 11years, originally from Texas. I’m the eldest daughter of 4, so I’ve been raising kids since birth. My favorite job though is being an auntie (tee tee Bri) to my 5 nieces and nephews. They are my world. I do a little bit of everything related to pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood. I am a brand new midwife, a registered nurse, a midwife assistant at 2 birth centers, childbirth educator, and birth and postpartum doula to over 75 families. I was also exclusively a baby nanny 2[removed], and still actively babysit and nanny in my spare time. Professionally, I’ve developed great relationships with families, who are more than willing to provide glowing references/reviews, and I have made life long friends in the process. I also deeply value safety. I am CPR/BLS/ACLS certified. Also Trustline verified, and up to date on all vaccines, including COVID, TDAP, and flu. I love working with families, and building solid relationships. It brings me so much joy. Please feel free to reach out with your family needs. My rates vary based on service/number of children/specific family needs, but here’s a baseline guide: Babysitting- $40/hr 1 kid Daytime PP Doula- $60/hr Night Nurse- $70/hr Events- $100/hr (5+ children) When booking, all I ask is that you pay for the time you booked, for example babysitting 1-4 is $120, even if you decide to come home early. And, if you cancel less than 24hrs, I ask that you pay for the time you booked. Please feel free to message me with any needs! More than happy to hop on the phone, zoom, or chat via messages. Blessings! Bri

“Brianna was great - timely, great with the kids, adaptable, and warm persona! ”

"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."
