Sonia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sonia. I’ve been a nanny for nearly a decade and have cared for both children and adults, including an adult on the autism spectrum. I’m based in the Orange County area and open to live-in nanny positions if needed. I’m certified in Adult and Child CPR and First Aid. I love dance and know a bit about nutrition, so I enjoy helping kids stay active and healthy. I can assist with household tasks such as light cooking, laundry, cleaning, and organizing. Errands and driving for drop-offs/pick-ups are not part of what I offer. Families describe me as calm, dependable, and caring and I do my best to create a safe, positive environment where everyone feels supported.

Paula $26 per hour for 1 child

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 🤍

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. ”

Hi! I am currently a 19 year old college student that lives locally and comes from a big energetic family :) Since I still am in school I have a passion to tutor younger kids and show how important school really is! I speak both English and Spanish. I love being able to work with kids! Growing up I always had too much energy and always wanted to do something creative. Since i'm an adult now it's not as frequent that I bring out that inner creativity and share the energy that I still have with those around me. On my free time I paint, go to the gym, visit coffee shops, and study! I am CPR certified and have previous experience with children from ages 3 years old to 15. Always welcome to meeting you!

"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."
