Hello! My name is Alexis, and I provide childcare and tutoring services. I grew up and currently live in Anaheim. I just finished my undergrad at Azusa Pacific University, where I studied finance and was a member of the women’s soccer team. Having lived in Southern California my whole life, I am very familiar with the area and enjoy being active, responsible, and engaged in my community. I have over 7 years of childcare experience, starting at age 15, and I genuinely love working with children. My background includes: • Caring for cousins, nieces, and nephews from a young age—helping with cooking, reading, swimming, and daily activities. • Babysitting for multiple families through UrbanSitter. • Tutoring students from elementary through high school in subjects such as reading, science, and math (2nd grade, 3rd grade, and freshman level). I strive to bring energy, responsibility, and respect to every family I work with. I am also CPR and AED certified, ensuring safety is always a priority. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable working with pets—whether your family has cats, dogs, or both. I would be happy to bring my experience and enthusiasm to support your family’s needs!

Booked by 38 families in La Palma, CA

Hi! My name is De’Ja, and I’m a professional nanny with 10+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I’m also a mom to a 3½-year-old, which has strengthened my patience, organization, and understanding of child development and daily routines. I’ve been caring for children since high school — from helping raise my cousin from infancy, to full-time nanny roles, after-school programs, and regular date-night care. I’ve completed an ROP Careers with Children course and bring everything I’ve learned directly into my work with families. Alongside childcare, I also have house manager experience, supporting families with day-to-day household needs such as managing schedules and routines, keeping the home organized and running smoothly, children’s laundry and meal prep, coordinating activities, outings, and school-related needs, and maintaining a calm, structured home environment. I’ve also helped manage larger household logistics, including coordinating contractors and movers, assisting with larger moves, hiring and scheduling cleaners or other household helpers, and handling general household and vehicle-related tasks as needed. I’m reliable, patient, and highly organized, and I value building long-term relationships with families. I have strong references and often continue working with families on an ongoing basis. I’m CPR, First Aid, and AED certified, as well as babysitting and food-allergy trained. I have a safe, reliable vehicle and an extra car seat if needed. I love getting kids out of the house — parks, neighborhood walks, and activities that support learning and development. I recently completed my Associate’s degree and relocated to Seal Beach. I value communication and chemistry and am happy to do an interview or working interview. I do have a child of my own and would love the option to bring him along if it’s a fit for your family, though I’m also open to roles where separate childcare is available. My rates reflect my experience, training, and the level of care I provide. I’d love to connect!

“Fantastic work! Looking forward to working together in the near future. ”

Hello! My name is Kaelin and I am a recent graduate from UCSD! I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in child development and literature. My area of focus is child development in psychology so I understand the needs of each child at any age. Experience includes: - professionally babysitting for 3+ years - worked with kids 1:1 in schools on the spectrum/ with varying behavioral issues - worked at a group home with adolescents with varying behavioral issues - coach for kids age 6-18 for cross country, soccer, track, and rock climbing I’d be glad to help with any of their homework, read to the kids, help with their literacy skills, etc. I can also help with basic math homework. My goal as a psychology graduate and also as a person is to let the kids understand that they are a human as well and should be treated with the same respect and kindness that adults treat each other with. Often times people treat kids as if they’re less autonomous beings because of their age and I think it’s important to let them know their ideas, opinions and thoughts are just as important and valuable as ours. It build their confidence and self-esteem and also helps with their identity development. One of my more integral talents is being very craft and creative! I have my own small business where I make stuffed animals and I absolutely love doing any sort of arts and crafts. (I can also bring supplies of my own to do different activities with the kids) I am also very good at baking! So if your kids want to learn how to bake, need a snack, or you’d like to come home to a baked treat I’d love to do that. I am also open to doing household chores and also errands such as grocery shopping. I am also able to walk dogs and take care of dogs if needed.

“Kaelin was a dream babysitter for me and my family when we visited Disneyland for the weekend. We booked her multiple times, because we were so impressed by her ability to watch a 1 year old and a 5 year old. She is incredibly qualified with an early childhood education degree, flexible, attentive, intuitive. She was so helpful, feeding them, engaging with games, doing bath and also had all the best recommendations for local food and things to do. It was such a pleasure to have a wonderful, caring, warm and intelligent young lady watch our kids. We would 100 percent recommend and book her again! Thank you Kaelin! ”

Hello my name is Mariah! I am cpr certified, vaccinated, and have a degree in music education. I love working with kids and have experience both teaching and babysitting. My love for working with kids stemmed from coming from a large family where I was always surrounded by children. Through that experience I've learned how to multitask, be responsible, creative, and above all I've gained a lot patience. I love soccer, playing music, board games, and singing. Id love to meet your family and sing some songs!

"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."
