Hi there! šŸ‘‹šŸ¼ I’m Mar. I’ve spent over a decade working with children in many different roles, including nannying, tutoring, sports coaching, and behavioral therapy. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to build long-term relationships with families through UrbanSitter, Care.com, referrals, and word of mouth. I have a degree in Psychology and previously worked as a Behavioral Interventionist, supporting children through floor play and ABA-based care. I’ve also worked with children with different developmental and behavioral needs, both here in the U.S. and while volunteering in El Salvador. I’m currently making a career transition and have returned to nannying, something I’ve always genuinely enjoyed. I love working with kids of all ages, and I try to bring more to the role than simply supervising. I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and needs and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, understood, and free to be themselves. I’m naturally very hands-on and enjoy everything from homework help and outdoor activities to creative projects, outings, and simply spending quality time together. I value trust, communication, consistency, and building a genuine connection with both children and their families. Feel free to reach out with any questions! My rates vary depending on your child’s needs, number of children, responsibilities, and schedule. I’d love to hear more about your family and what you’re looking for. 😊

ā€œMar was great! She was on time and both my kids liked her! She asked great questions, and did a great job taking care of both my girls. We would hire her again for another day. ā€

Booked by 6 families in Whittier, CA

My name is Cassandra. I worked at an Elementary school for 3+ years. I have experience taking care of ages newborn-12 for 5+ years. I love helping out with kids. I have a driver's license and my own car. I am free all day Monday-Friday and sometimes on weekends. I am open to occasional babysitting. I am also more than happy to just help clean the house or run your errands for you. I used to have a Siberian Husky so I am used to the shedding and love dogs. I love taking the kid and dogs on walks to the park. I can also help the kids with their homework.

ā€œMy daughter enjoyed playing with her! And she’s reliable!ā€

Hello! My name is Aylin. I'm a college student attending CSLB online and I’m majoring in child development. I currently work as a campus assistant for an elementary school. I'm really interested in babysitting for you. I'm a reliable, careful, friendly, and responsible person. I'm fully vaccinated. I'm CPR and First Aid certified. If needed I can cook and clean. A little bit about me is that I love working with kids due to me babysitting since I was 14 for neighbors, family members and my mom's day care center. I've babysat from new borns to nine year olds. This sparked my interest for becoming a teacher. I like being a babysitter because it gives the flexibility to work and still be in school.

Booked by 17 families in Whittier, CA

Hi ! I am a 25 year old sitter, with two years of experience caring for infants and 1 year caring for two toddlers and have occasionally cared for kids ranging from 4 - 11. I am CPR certified, have both a clean background check and clean driving record and I speak english and Spanish. I can be ocasional, part time or full time. I am young, energetic and love to be around kids! Their safety and happiness is always my number one priority but also making them feel comfortable and excited to be around me as I always want the kids to not dread having to leave their parents side and thinking of me as a scary stranger. My hope for every parent that meets me is that they can feel my good energy and trust that they are leaving their kids in the right hands and that I will take care of them as if they were my own blood.

"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."
