Benjamin $33 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have a master’s degree in teaching from USC and a degree in psychology from UCI. I have 12+ years working in education in the following roles: certified elementary teacher (taught 5th grade for 4 years), substitute teacher in elementary, middle, and high school, sports coach, and tutor. I can speak and understand some Spanish. I love working with kids, love music, sports, arts, and outdoor activities. Love cats and Spiderman. I’m the oldest of 5 siblings, so leadership and caregiving come naturally to me. I’m usually the one at family parties playing with and teaching the little ones. I have experience baby sitting my own nephew since he was months old (now 5). I attended private schools from 1st grade through high school (attended Loyola High School where I played football and ran track). Outside of my credentials I’m flexible at the moment and willing to take on whatever task you are interested in throwing at me with enthusiasm!

Hai $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in La Palma, CA

Hello my name is Hai and I am 50 years young. I come from a family of immigrants who came to the U. S. in 1975 after the Vietnam war. At that time there were 11 members in my family which included my parents and 8 siblings. I was the second youngest child. In 2008 my baby sister passed away from colon cancer when she was only 32. She was a second grade teacher at Lampson Elementary in the Orange Unified School District and loved her students. She won teacher of the year around 2005. She also loved all of our 12 nieces and nephews. We both shared a deep affection for kids. I became an uncle when I was only 10 after my first and oldest niece was born. She is now 40, and has a 2 year young son and a newborn boy. I remember holding her when she was a newborn and she fell asleep in my arms. That was the start of my love and journey with kids. Because of having so many older siblings I have a total of 12 nieces and nephews. I took care of and played with all of them when they were little, so I have many years of experience watching kids. I’m kind, patient, and nurturing. For the past 11 years I’ve been a volunteer with a nonprofit organization called Linc, where I am a mentor at an after school program for kids between kindergarten and 7th grade. I serve them snacks, help them with their homework, and play fun activities with them, including reading, art projects, and games. I won volunteer of the year in 2015. My supervisor at the program loves me and is one of my closest friends. If you need a reference or letter of recommendation from her I would be happy to oblige. I am a kind and responsible individual that you can trust to take care of your loved ones.

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)!

Cosette $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Cosette :) I’m a student at CSULB and I only have classes Monday and Wednesday, so I have a lot of availability the rest of the week. I’m originally from Temecula and I’m looking for a job while I’m in college. I’m in a sorority and involved in community service, so I’m very responsible, dependable, and used to being committed to a schedule. I used to be a nanny for a family with three kids, and I also worked as a head coach at an afterschool elementary program, so I’m great with keeping kids active, engaged, and still on routine. I’m patient, fun, and very safety-focused. I can help with anything! Pickups, homework, meals/snacks, activities, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, laundry, organizing, and errands. I also have 3 puppies that I love spending time with, so I’m super pet-friendly!

"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."
