Hi ! My name is Elizabeth (or Liz), and I’m a 21 year-old college student currently seeking babysitting opportunities to help support myself while pursuing my education.

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."
