Looking to grow littles with compassion for the future! Hello! I’ve been a caretaker since my little brother was born 41 years ago! I’m a very interactive caretaker from pet care, childcare and hospice care. I love seeing families grow. I’m an adventurer, gardener. I love to explore and seeing lightbulb moments of littles learning. I have a plethora of nieces and nephews. I’ve been with families from new born, bottle feeding to elementary school and still active with them and been present for those at the end of life. I have references you can contact and I live in Long Beach. I’m CPR/ first aid certified and a serv safe food handling manager with culinary training. The littles I just finished with started school, swim and dance so I’m looking to find a family long term to grow with! Have a great day!!

Vianna $23 per hour for 1 child

I have experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to teenagers, including caring for multiple children at once. I’m comfortable helping with homework, meals, activities, driving, bedtime routines, and longer babysitting shifts, including evenings and late nights. I recently obtained my master’s degree, and during my graduate training I worked with children and families through psychosocial counseling and completed coursework in child psychology. I also have experience caring for neurodivergent children and children with more complex medical needs. These experiences have emphasized the importance of patience, flexibility, and attentiveness when caregiving. As well as the fact that every child may communicate, learn, or need support in different ways. I’d describe myself as easygoing, dependable, and caring. I want kids to feel comfortable and have fun with me, while still respecting the routines, boundaries, and expectations parents have for their home. I take safety seriously, communicate openly with families, and try to be someone both parents and kids can feel comfortable relying on.

Tracy $25 per hour for 1 child

Well hello lovelies! My name is Tracy and I am looking for a really wonderful family that is looking for a "partner" in their nanny. Over 20 years of experience of both long and short term care. Experienced with newborns, toddlers, multiples, older children and everything in between!! I consider myself your "right arm" and take my job seriously. It's all about connecting and engaging with your child. Knowing how to navigate big emotions and finding fun activities to redirect helps kids learn how to self soothe! I love to read, be outdoors and find play time activities that make everyone's heart sing. Clean background check, resume, CPR/First Aid Certified, clean DMV with excellent references!

Hi families! I’m a caring and reliable nanny with over 5 years of experience working with children of all ages. My background includes Behavior Therapy (ABA), nannying, and coaching kids’ soccer, so I love creating fun, engaging, and structured environments where children can learn and feel happy. I’m patient, energetic, and creative, and I truly enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and parents. I’m also organized, attentive, and happy to help with daily routines, activities, and light household support. I’m a big animal lover too, so pets are always welcome! My goal is to make your day easier while making sure your children feel safe, supported, and loved 🤍

"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."
