Camille $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a compassionate 24-year-old registered nurse with 2 years of experience working with postpartum moms and newborns at Miller Children's and Women's Hospital in Long Beach. While I absolutely adored my job, I recently left working at the hospital due to stress and being overworked, and being unable to leave the night shift. In my time off from working as a nurse, I would love to use my knowledge and skills to help out families! Along with postpartum nursing, I have around 3 years of experience babysitting, from ages 4 months to 12 years old. I am hardworking, organized, fun, honest, and clean. I have always received amazing reviews from new mamas at the hospital about how attentive and caring I am with them and their newborns, and I intend to carry that energy into the world of babysitting as well.

Giselle $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lakewood, CA

Hi! My name is Giselle. I am offering Child care, senior care, pet care, and house hold services. I love kids and I have been an auntie since I was a little kid myself. I live with my 3 year old niece and my 10 year old nephew, so I’d like to say I have a pretty good amount of experience with kids. I am currently in school which means I can help with tutoring and school related activities. I looked after my Grandmother at one point and I have experience as an IHSS provider. Unfortunately , I don’t have any pets of my own and am allergic to cats, but I would be more than happy to care for any other pets!

With over 15 years of experience in childcare, nurturing children has been my lifelong calling, I discovered at just 15 years old and have never looked back. I bring a warm, attentive presence to every family I work with, creating environments where children feel safe, loved, and inspired to grow. Throughout my career I’ve built deep, lasting bonds with families, many of whom I’ve had the privilege of watching grow from the newborn stage into thriving kids.

"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."
