$26 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Mission Viejo, CA

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.

Rachelle 2 reviews
$21 per hour for 1 child

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!”

Kyle $30 per hour for 1 child

Dear Team, With over 21 years of experience in early childhood education, my passion for watching children grow and develop has only deepened. My journey began by volunteering at my church’s Vacation Bible School, where the children affectionately referred to me as "Mr. Kyle." This experience ignited my love for being involved in their learning. At Fullerton College, I immersed myself in child development courses, earning my Associate's Degree and Childhood Teacher Certificate while gaining hands-on experience at the campus preschool. After a few years in various preschools, I returned to complete my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education at Pacific Oaks College. This blend of education and practical experience has allowed me to create fun and supportive environments where children can thrive. I genuinely enjoy helping children discover new skills and reach their potential. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your team. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to discussing how I can contribute to making your school a place where both teachers and parents feel confident knowing their children are in good hands.

"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."
