Booked by 1 family in La Palma, CA

Hello my name is Diana! I’m a sophomore at SBCC majoring in Mathematics (teaching). I am pursuing my bachelors, masters and teachers credential to be come a high school math teacher! I grew up very family oriented taking care of cousins and younger siblings from a young age. I’ve been officially babysitting since I was 16, caring for infants, toddlers, and kids! I adore arts/crafts, learning, reading, music, math, and movies! I am a strong swimmer. I speak English, Spanish, and just started learning ASL. I love all animals and grew up raising farm animals, sized from a little betta fish all the way to a horse! I would love the opportunity to care for your child(ren)!

“Diana was great talking care of our 2yo daughter on our evening out, she was punctual and even left the place tidied up. I’d definitely work with her again”

Hello! I am looking to support parents who need someone reliable, punctual, and hardworking. I enjoy working with children. I used to babysit my cousins' children when they were babies, from birth to 4 years old. They are now 12, 11, 8, and 7 years old. I also worked at an after-school program as an after-school teacher for 5 years. I graduated from college with an Early Childhood major.

Aveed $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Aveed. I genuinely love working with kids and have 3 years of experience at Kumon, where I helped students of all personalities and learning styles. I was often trusted with more challenging children because of my patience, creativity, and ability to connect with them while keeping learning fun and productive. In addition, I have 2 years of nannying experience for neighbors, where I regularly cared for multiple children at once. I’m comfortable managing different ages, keeping kids engaged, helping with homework, and maintaining a safe and structured environment. I’m very creative and enjoy playing the piano and violin, painting, and coming up with engaging activities that keep kids entertained and learning. I also love staying active, whether it’s playing outside, doing crafts, or organizing games. I love animals too — I have a puppy of my own and am happy to be around pets. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I strive to create a safe, positive, and fun environment for children. I would love the opportunity to work with your family!

Booked by 6 families in La Palma, CA

Hi! I’m Marjorie🩵 I am super communicative with strong nature for children. I’ve mentored elementary kids in areas of math and reading comprehension for 4 years. Been a behavioral interventionist (ABA) and have worked with families on occasion through mutuals and this platform. My aim is to create a safe and fun space for the kid(s) with the time I’m there and tend to any needs. I’m punctual and good with routines whether it’s feeding or bedtime. I specially am well rounded with newborns to 10 years old olds. I’m the oldest of 4 and understand teenagers pretty well. Am open to have a chat or call to discuss anything further :)

“Marjorie took great care of our toddler. She interacts very well with kids. She has a great attitude and kept our son highly engaged, playing and learning for several hours. She is very professional and punctual. Frankly, I can't think of a single that she could have done better. ”

Vianna $23 per hour for 1 child

I have experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to teenagers, including caring for multiple children at once. I’m comfortable helping with homework, meals, activities, driving, bedtime routines, and longer babysitting shifts, including evenings and late nights. I recently obtained my master’s degree, and during my graduate training I worked with children and families through psychosocial counseling and completed coursework in child psychology. I also have experience caring for neurodivergent children and children with more complex medical needs. These experiences have emphasized the importance of patience, flexibility, and attentiveness when caregiving. As well as the fact that every child may communicate, learn, or need support in different ways. I’d describe myself as easygoing, dependable, and caring. I want kids to feel comfortable and have fun with me, while still respecting the routines, boundaries, and expectations parents have for their home. I take safety seriously, communicate openly with families, and try to be someone both parents and kids can feel comfortable relying on.

"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."
