Welcome ! ABOUT ME: I am a native Southern Californian, born in Santa Monica. I have a grown son, and many years spent with children. As a mother, I know it is not a perfect science, and how unexpected things come up. Also, how great it feels to have a afternoon, or evening out. If you are visiting the Los Angeles / Orange County area, available for hotel and short term sitting. I have over 950+ bookings with Urban Sitter, and can offer experience, dependability, kindness, flexibility, and your children are my 100% focus. I have a true dedication to developing children's creativity and appreciation of others. Emphasis on activities such as ... reading, outdoor activities, arts & crafts, sports, cooking, board games, and creating a fun exciting day. Your child's interests are most important to me, and I am here to make their day or evening special. I am a California licensed insured driver, and have the ability to transport your children. I am American Red Cross Pediatric CPR Certified, and Urban Sitter Background Check Approved. Letters of recommendation are available upon request, and certifications also provided. You can always trust, you have a person who is responsible, patient, creative, punctual, energetic and kind. I care just like you do; and my focus is 100% on your child.

Hi, I'm Jazmine! I have 10 years of experience with children, 9 years of experience with children under 3 and 7 years of experience with infants under 1. I am BLS CPR certified and proficient in Spanish. I tend to take a screen-free approach, unless the parents say otherwise, to encourage creativity and flexible thinking. I believe in developing a sense of trust, communication and respect with all families I work with. If you have any pets, I can make sure that their needs are met as well. Additionally, I am not opposed to doing light housework (laundry, dishes, tidying up), to keep things running smoothly once I depart. I am available for occasional date nights, ad hoc days, and overnights. Like what you see? I hope to hear from you soon!!!

Hi my name is Jeremiah (for hiring purposes I’ve used my family name Jamie). I have been a nanny for over 14 years. I have experience working with children birth to adolescents. I currently work in higher education and with preschoolers. My background is in child development and early childhood education for almost 20 years, with a specialization in trauma studies. I am in school, working on my master’s thesis in human development and looking to gain perspective with my time here (with you). I love the littles, babies are my niche. I incorporate a lot of structure and developmentally appropriate design for consistency in care based on family dynamics. I am pro active in holistic wellness *Psa* Infant care and/or special needs will be at higher rate listed. Please message before booking. I am not on daily to update my calendar as I have full schedule that fluctuates. It may reflect changes due to last bookings and may not reflect my current availability.
Hi, my name is Kristyna. I’m a reliable and caring babysitter with several years of hands-on experience working with children of different ages. I spent 2 years as an au pair, where I provided full-time care—managing daily routines, organizing activities, helping with meals, and creating a safe, fun environment for kids to thrive. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and aim to keep them engaged, happy, and well cared for while giving parents peace of mind. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs and personality. I’m currently looking for date night babysitting opportunities and occasional help. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, bedtime routines, homework, and fun activities to keep your kids entertained.
Hi! My name is Miesha, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. I truly enjoy working with children and getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routine. Over the years, I’ve worked with many different families, and one thing I’ve learned is that every child and every household is different. I’m available for date nights, occasional care, overnight care, hotel and travel care, amusement park care, special events, and families who may need care outside of a traditional schedule. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple children at once. I’m CPR, First Aid, and AED certified for infants, children, and adults, as well as TrustLine registered. Safety is very important to me, and I want parents to be able to leave knowing their children are in good hands. When I’m caring for children, I like to actually interact with them rather than just supervise. Depending on their age and interests, that might mean playing games, going outside, doing arts and crafts, reading, baking, watching a movie together, helping with homework, or simply listening while they tell me about all the things they’re currently excited about. 😊 I’m also happy to help with meals, bedtime routines, and keeping things tidy while the children are in my care. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality & Tourism Management with a minor in Business Administration from San Francisco State University. My professional background also includes working in childcare staffing, where I’ve trained nannies and helped match caregivers with families based on their individual childcare needs. I know inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your children is a big deal. I’m respectful of each family’s routines, household rules, parenting preferences, and expectations. I’m dependable, communicative, and flexible, and I always want both the parents and children I work with to feel comfortable with me. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and baking, sports, traveling, spending time outdoors, going to amusement parks, and exploring new places. Whether you need a sitter for a date night, work, an event, vacation, hotel stay, overnight care, or just some time to yourself, I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family!
