I worked as a full-time nanny for 20 years before having three of my own children. My children are grown and out of the home I’m looking to get back into babysitting occasionally, doula care, pet care, or housesitting. I have several amazing references in the local area of Orange County. I am still friends with many of the families I worked for. I have a masters in teaching and education from Chapman University. I teach pool safety 3mos-18mos. CPR certified. I enjoy art and taking kids on picnics to the parks and outdoor education activities or kids museums. I absolutely love children and animals.

I am a warm, reliable pediatric occupational therapy professional, child development specialist and mom to a 18 month old girl dedicated to creating a safe, engaging, and enriching environment for every child in my care. I specialize in newborns and understand firsthand how vulnerable it can feel to leave your baby with someone new. I have experience caring for children from as young as 10 days old through the preteen years and that’s before I had my daughter. ☺️ My background in pediatric occupational therapy allows me to thoughtfully support developmental milestones through age-appropriate play, sensory activities, and individualized care. I am skilled in assisting with travel, sleep routines, parent education, and overnight care. During weekday daytime hours (Monday–Friday), I am seeking positions where I am able to bring my young child along. This arrangement can provide opportunities for social development, modeling, and interactive play in a small, nurturing environment while I continue to prioritize safety, structure, and each child’s unique needs. I’m open to part or full time for the right fit. I am also available for evening, weekend, overnight, and travel care without my child present, if preferred. Thank you — I look forward to connecting with your family!

“We had a wonderful experience with Nicole! Although our 16-month-old daughter can be a bit slow to warm up, Nicole was very patient and fantastic at keeping her engaged. By the time we left, our daughter was happily giggling and playing with her. Nicole even shared some great, practical suggestions on feeding and communication. We felt completely at ease, and our daughter was so happy. Highly recommend her!”

"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."
