Nicole $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate recent graduate in Physician Assistant Studies, currently seeking professional opportunities while awaiting completion of my credentialing. Before entering PA school, earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of California, Riverside, where I was a four year collegiate athlete and served as captain during my final year. My preclinical and clinical experience have provided me with a strong foundation in both medical and interpersonal care. I have worked in a pediatric ophthalmology clinic and on the adolescent unit of an inpatient psychiatric hospital prior completing my Masters. During my pediatrics rotation, I cared for patients ranging from neonates to adolescents, further strengthening my clinical skills and my commitment to providing compassionate, family-centered care. In addition, I have over three years of experience teaching tennis to children ages 3-18, which honed my ability to connect with young people, communicate effectively, and foster growth through patience and encouragement.

Hi! My name is Meghan and I have been a nanny for the past few years. I enjoy caring for and teaching kids how to be the best they can be. It’s so fulfilling to see children learn, progress and use their creative imaginations on a daily basis. In my spare time, I like to play with my dogs and host game night. I hope to meet you and your little one soon!

Hi families! I’m Kaylee, a reliable and experienced caregiver who loves working with kids of all ages, from infants to school-aged. I currently work as a paraeducator for Cypress School District, where I support learning and engaging activities. I’ve also coached swimming, helping children build confidence and safety skills in the water. I’m CPR-certified, patient, and committed to creating a safe, positive environment for your kids. Along with childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks and pet care. My goal is to support your family and make your days a little easier!

“Kaylee is a wonderful babysitter. I needed to find a last minute sitter for my 10 and 6 year old daughters. She offered to speak with me on the phone before hand. She played games with my kids and they had a great time. Kaylee was on time and I eager to get to know my kiddos. Kaylee followed all my instructions and kept me updated I look forward to having her back.”

"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."
