Karen $15 per hour for 1 child

The reason why my rates are so low compared to other is because I know the struggle of needing childcare and having no support . I work with kids on the spectrum supporting children from 5-12 years old with behaviors. I have experience with ages ranging from newborn - 12 years old . I am a big listener when it comes to parents expectations of a nanny to their children . My goal is that you feel comfortable leaving your children with me knowing that they are being taken care of the way you would want them to be. The downside about me is that I’m allergic to dogs and cats :( Contact[removed]427

Monique $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in La Mirada, CA

Hello, my name is Monique I have 18 years of experience working with children, including jobs at babysitting, being a nanny and work with autism children. I've been babysitting regularly for the last 18 years. My experience, combined with my CPR and first aid certification. And also have a 22 & 21 year old young adults and 13 month old baby. So I have personal experience with my own children. My most recent Babysitter position was with a family of five whose children ranged from ages 2 to 12. I'm sure you can imagine the constant commotion involved in caring for five children, but it's the kind of challenge I find fun and exciting. Three days a week, I helped the older kids get ready for school and then stayed with the younger children until their parents got home from work. During the day, the younger children and I would play games, do arts and crafts, enjoy educational activities and have a home-cooked lunch. I was also available to care for the older children when they stayed home sick from school or to babysit nights and weekends when the parents wanted a date night. My clients have often expressed appreciation for my adaptability, enthusiasm and ability to handle any type of situation. Since my most recent clients moved out of state for a job promotion, I currently have a very flexible schedule, including nights and weekends. I can usually start as early as 7 a.m. and can stay until at least 11 p.m. I can even stay even longer. I appreciate you taking the time to read my letter and consider my application. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email if you have questions about my qualifications. I would love the opportunity to work with your family and get to know your children.

“Kaylee is a wonderful babysitter. I needed to find a last minute sitter for my 10 and 6 year old daughters. She offered to speak with me on the phone before hand. She played games with my kids and they had a great time. Kaylee was on time and I eager to get to know my kiddos. Kaylee followed all my instructions and kept me updated I look forward to having her back.”

"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."
