Hello! A little about me is I have most of my experience with infants and toddlers, as the families I have babysat for are usually for younger children, but older kids are always welcome. Please let me know if you need a reference at any time! For some additional peace of mind, I have been BLS CPR certified for the last two years and am pursuing a nursing career to hopefully work in the Neonatal ICU in the near future! I’d love to give my full attention and care for up to 1-3 children. If needed, I do have my own transportation and wouldn’t mind going to the library or park. Please reach out for any concerns or questions! Additionally, I am very comfortable around dogs/cats, have grown up with them my whole life, and would love to care for them if that is the care you are looking for instead!

“Hailey was great! She was very professional, friendly, and easy to communicate with. I especially appreciated that she kept us updated via text throughout the evening without us even having to ask. It gave us peace of mind knowing everything was going well. We would definitely be happy to have her babysit again!”

Hi! I’m a warm, responsible caregiver based in Orange County, currently finishing my bachelor’s degree in psychology. This background helps me understand kids’ development and needs, from infants to teens. I have experience caring for children across a wide age range—from 6 months to 18 years old—and I’m comfortable with feeding, nap routines, playtime, homework help, and bedtime routines. My goal is to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where kids can explore, learn, and have fun.If you’d like to learn more about my experience or schedule a meet-and-greet, I’d love to hear about your family’s needs and how I can help.

“Berenice is communicative, punctual, and reliable. We love her for cat sitting when we are out of town!”

"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."
