Hi! I’m Marjorie🩵 I am super communicative with strong nature for children. I’ve mentored elementary kids in areas of math and reading comprehension for 4 years. Been a behavioral interventionist (ABA) and have worked with families on occasion through mutuals and this platform. My aim is to create a safe and fun space for the kid(s) with the time I’m there and tend to any needs. I’m punctual and good with routines whether it’s feeding or bedtime. I specially am well rounded with newborns to 10 years old olds. I’m the oldest of 4 and understand teenagers pretty well. Am open to have a chat or call to discuss anything further :)

“Marjorie took great care of our toddler. She interacts very well with kids. She has a great attitude and kept our son highly engaged, playing and learning for several hours. She is very professional and punctual. Frankly, I can't think of a single that she could have done better. ”

Canaya $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Los Alamitos, CA

Hi mamas and papas! 🩷 I am a professional nanny with a big heart for little humans! I’m currently looking to transition from my full-time sales career (last day-Mar 13!) into nannying full-time so I can have more flexibility, freedom, and most importantly follow my true passion of caring for children!! I have a Bachelors in Liberal Studies from CSULB with a concentration in Language Arts (even though math is my favorite subject!). My original plan was to become a full time teacher, I am still working on my credentials, but would now prefer to tutor independently. I spent three years as a substitute teacher and also worked as an RSP assistant, supporting students who needed extra guidance, patience, and time to complete their work. I have four years of experience as a professional nanny. I am also a hands-on auntie of 9 and the primary familial caregiver! I am open to part-time positions, evenings, weekends, and even travel opportunities. I am comfortable caring for children of all ages, abilities, and health needs. Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and celebrated for who they are!! Also welcoming opportunities for senior care, pet care, and home sitting! (I had a dog that I loved dearly for 12 years and have experience with hospice care for a relative who was battling ovarian cancer for two years) Happy to pass a background check or Livescan! Excited to support families by helping you care for the most important people in your world! I’m flexible and happy to provide discounts for siblings and cash payments! Open to paid working interviews, so we can make sure we are a good fit for each other! **Extremely respectful of dietary restrictions! References available upon request. Looking forward to connecting 🫶🏼

Oshelyn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Oshelyn(Oshie), and I’m a reliable, caring, and experienced babysitter with over 8 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve spent much of my life helping care for children of all ages, from infants to older kids, which has given me a strong understanding of their different needs, routines, and personalities. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. In addition to supervising and playing with children, I’m confident in handling a wide range of responsibilities. I can prepare meals and snacks, assist with homework, manage bedtime routines, administer medication when needed, and keep the home tidy. I also have experience caring for pets, so I’m happy to help with feeding or light pet care if needed. I take pride in being attentive, patient, and dependable, making sure both children and parents feel at ease. I’m passionate about providing trustworthy care and building positive relationships with families. My goal is always to support your household by ensuring your children are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience and dedication to your family.

"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."
