Brayson $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Brayson. I’m a former Early Childhood and Special Education teacher with 10 years of experience. I recently stepped out of the classroom to be home with my daughter and to begin building a childcare program my wife and I have dreamed of—one that nurtures creativity, confidence, and emotional growth. I offer full-time and after-school care from our home for ages 2 months to 12 years, including pick-up and drop-off. I’ve worked with children of all ages and needs, including those needing extra behavioral, emotional, or communication support. I hold a bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education and a master’s in Special Education. In our home program, learning feels warm, playful, and hands-on. My goal is to help every child feel safe, supported, and excited to explore. As a dad, I know how much trust it takes to choose the right caregiver. Your child’s well-being is my highest priority. My wife works from home and helps run our program, so children always have consistent care. If you’d like to meet us or schedule a tour, we’d love to connect and see if we’re the right fit for your family.

Booked by 3 families in Irvine, CA

Hi! My name is Allison and I'm currently a Junior in college, starting nursing school this fall! I have worked with kids for the past 8 years, volunteering in the nursery (infant-1) and preschool (2-5) at my church, frequent babysitting jobs, as well as nannying for two children aged 2 and 6 for 3 years. I helped the family I nannied for with cleaning up, cooking, pickups/dropoffs, homework help, bedtime routines, and morning routines! I am very energetic and love to play games/engage with kids. I have my CNA license and am CPR and First Aid certified! I am very patient, caring, and more than happy to go the extra mile for your family!

Belen $20 per hour for 1 child

Providing nurturing care to children is essential, and it’s at the heart of the work I love to do. I’m patient, calm, and dedicated caregiver with years of experience supporting children in different stages of their development—from infants and toddlers to school-age kids. My approach is warm, attentive, and supportive, and I always strive to meet each child’s unique needs. I’m fully trained in First Aid and CPR, which allows me to respond confidently and responsibly in any situation. Safety is always my highest priority, and I’m mindful about creating an environment where children feel secure, understood, and encouraged to explore and grow. To help lighten your daily load, I’m also willing to assist with light housekeeping tasks such as tidying play areas, washing dishes, or helping with laundry. I believe a well-organized space helps create a calmer environment for both kids and parents. Above all, I’m excited to build a trusting relationship with your family. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where your child feels valued, supported, and free to be themselves. I look forward to getting to know you and being a positive part of your child’s day-to-day life.

"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."
