Loren $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Loren, and I’m a sophomore at Cal State Fullerton. I offer pet sitting, child care, and household services. I’ve helped care for my grandma and my little sister, so I’m used to being patient, responsible, and present. I’m comfortable stepping in where help is needed, whether that’s sticking to routines or just being an extra set of hands. I love animals and enjoy spending time with pets, from walks and feeding to playtime and keeping them company. I can also help around the house, run errands, and provide rides to school, appointments, or activities

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!

Felicia 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Felicia, I work as a preschool teacher in a Montessori classroom and spend my days with kids ages one to five. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and currently finishing a psychology degree. I have multiple years of experience in early childhood education and hospital bedside care with children ages 0-17. I'm comfortable with all ages, along with meals, naps, potty training, outdoor and art play. Happy to hear about your family and what you need!

“I highly recommend Felicia for any babysitting or childcare role. She has cared for our two boys (ages 10 months and 3 years) and has proven to be incredibly reliable, professional, and trustworthy. Juggling the needs of an infant and a toddler is no easy task, but Felicia does so with ease and patience. She is fantastic at keeping our 3-year-old safely entertained while seamlessly managing the routine and care for our 10-month-old. She is punctual, attentive, and wonderful with kids. I would gladly hire her again and recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for top-tier childcare.”

"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."
