Booked by 6 families in Laguna Niguel, CA

Hello!! My name is Sarah and I am a sophomore at OCC. I love to learn, try new food, and to be active. I am very patient and kind. I have 1-3 years of experience working with kids of all ages, from infants to preteens, and I love engaging them in creative spaces, outdoor activities, and educational assistance. My passion is to always create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for children. Beyond babysitting, I have experience caring for pets dogs or cats. I grew up with a bunch of animals and I am always happy to be around animals of all sorts. I am very responsible and can help with household needs and assistance like cooking, light-cleaning, and bedtime routines.

I'm a warm, fun-loving, and enthusiastic nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for children from newborns (including preemies) through school age. Ive had the privilege of working with multiple families, which has given me a deep understanding of child development, patience, compassion and the importance of creating a safe nurturing environment. As the oldest of three, caring for others has always come naturally to me. I truly love all aspects of childcare -- from hands-on playtime and mealtimes to outdoor adventures and supporting them through age appropriate milestones. I strive to create a positive, engaging and loving experience for every child in my care. Im happy to provide references upon request and am also very comfortable with family pets.

My background includes lifelong, hands-on caregiving experience. I started babysitting at age 13 and helped raise my younger siblings, who are now teenagers. Through this, I’ve developed a unique relationship with kids—they feel safe with me, and also find me fun and engaging. I’m playful, know how to make kids laugh, and keep them entertained, while also providing structure, support, and emotional safety. I recently lived with my 2- and 4-year-old nieces, so I’m very comfortable with toddlers, routines, and day-to-day childcare needs. I’m patient, attentive, and naturally nurturing, and children tend to connect with me easily. I also have strong experience with pets and household support. I have a 2-year-old mini dachshund who is the center of attention. Overall, I’m dependable, warm, and genuinely enjoy caring for children, pets, and families, creating an environment where everyone feels supported and safe. I also value communication.

Hi, I’m Rachelle! I offer dependable, engaging childcare and pet care with a strong mix of personal and professional experience. I’ve cared for children of all ages, including hands-on experience with my 11 nieces and nephews (ages 1–15). I currently provide ongoing care for a 13-year-old, including overnight stays when needed, so I’m comfortable with both daytime routines and nighttime responsibilities. My background includes a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and a Master’s in Criminal Justice focused on juvenile development, along with 14 years of service in the U.S. Navy. This has shaped my reliability, structure, and ability to connect with and mentor kids of all ages. I also have training through therapy school, which helps me communicate effectively with children and adolescents. I love incorporating creativity, sports, and music into my time with kids. I grew up playing trumpet, baseball, and softball, and enjoy keeping children active and engaged. In addition to childcare, I have over 25 years of experience caring for pets, including administering medication and supporting animals with special needs. I’m happy to help with occasional or part-time care, including overnights, and always aim to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment for your family.

“After being on UrbanSitter and scouring thru profiles and messaging with several care providers - Rachelle stood out among the pack. Her bio was comprehensive and her experience won me over immediately. Experience in the military with focus on leadership, experience with kids and nephews and nieces, and an obvious passion to make a positive impact. When my whole family met Rachelle for an interview to see if it was the right fit - Rachelle nailed that interaction just by being herself. We hired Rachelle multiple times when needing help with Jase while we traveled. She was prompt, amazing with Jase, and always a delight to work with. Jase always had positive reviews about Rachelle during and after interactions with her. I would recommend Rachelle to other parents. Jase was a teen when we brought Rachelle in - and we couldn’t have been happier!”

Casie 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child

I’m a career Nanny and Newborn Care Specialist who loves working with children and truly enjoys being able to help and watch them grow. I have tutoring experience alongside nanny experience and have a college degree. I'm responsible, reliable, energetic and caring. Please let me know if you have any questions.

“I’m not even sure how to start a review of Casie because she has truly been everything to us. We found her through a nanny site 3 years ago as we were trying to find someone we could feel comfortable with doing periodic date nights out for us. We have 2 kids (now 7 and 5) who hadn’t been cared for by anyone else so we were apprehensive. Casie made us feel so comfortable right from the start. She was energetic, and interactive with the kids from the very beginning. After having her do once in a while date nights for us for a few months, we knew we needed her involved more with our family. We were able to have her come help us full time. Our youngest needed more one on one attention and wasn’t doing well in the daycare environment so we pulled him out of school to be home full time with Casie. She always came in with ideas of how to help and guide him and built in education into his schedule so he didn’t fall behind in anything in learning and development. She had a standard schedule (but was always very flexible in changes), and really established a routine with him. We gave her full access to everything in our house, with the kids and our lives. She had my credit card for purchases and a key to our house. She is always one step ahead of us to keep our household organized and together. Casie was with us now full time for about a year and a half and part time for about 6 months as well. Her move to California was the only reason she is not with us anymore. Otherwise I would have loved to have her forever. She has truly become part of our family. She is incredibly kind, diligent, trustworthy, takes our kids on adventures, cares for them as her own and has worked with me and my husband as a team. She truly does it all and is patient along the way. You could not find a better person to do this along with your family. She is truly one of a kind.”

"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."
