Heyy, My name is Stephanie and I have experience working with young children in preschool settings, including Montessori and play-based classrooms. Im offering part time, occasional, and weekend child care services. I have over six years of experience caring for children, with the past two years focused specifically on working with young infants in both home and daycare settings. My responsibilities have included bottle feeding, tummy time, age-appropriate crafts, and following both daytime and nighttime routines. I have 18 early childhood education units, including infant and toddler development, and I’ve completed newborn care courses. I’m also comfortable with pets. Thank you, and I look forward to connecting with your family!
“Stephanie was so calm and caring. My daughter loved her and can’t wait to have her back. ”
Education: Hi, my name is Mariel. I graduated from San Diego State University in May of 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a double minor in Child and Family Development and Spanish. I am fluent in English and Spanish. About me: I am 34 years old. I was born in San Diego. I recently moved to the South Bay with my family. I’m a proud mom to two young children, ages 2 and 5. Work experience: I have over 10 years of experience working with children in a variety of settings. I spent more than four years as a preschool teacher, where I worked with infants, toddlers, preschoolers and school-aged children. I also worked for over three years as a behavior therapist, supporting young children on the spectrum. Most recently, I worked as a nanny for a wonderful family for nearly three years. Throughout the years, I have also babysat for many families between full-time positions. Currently, I run my own daycare, where I provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children to learn and grow. My experience includes working in classroom settings, providing 1:1 support and caring for multiple siblings in a home environment. I am familiar with the Taking Cara Babies sleep program, Baby-Led Weaning and the Big Little Feelings approach. I enjoy creating fun, educational and age-appropriate activities while maintaining a warm and supportive atmosphere. Working with children is truly a joy. They remind me every day to appreciate the little moments while learning, growing and having fun together Availability: I’m currently available for occasional babysitting jobs, primarily on weekends and weeknights. I’d love the opportunity to work with you and your little one(s)!
“This is our 2nd time booking Mariel and she was great again. ”
Hello- my name is Adriana. I absolutely adore children and love prioritizing educational and fun adventures! I have a background in babysitting and have a 15 year old daughter myself. I’m bilingual, love all things outdoorsy (so I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty), and I’m great with animals.
“Adriana is fantastic. She did a phenomenal job watching my 4 year old Daughter. She was timely, professional, and very communicative. Highly recommend. Would hire again! ”
Hi! I’m Dakota, I am a 2025 graduate from Palos Verdes Highschool, now entering my freshman year at Harbor College. I will be 19 years old in January. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I am starting a new job at Creative Brain Learning as an after school teacher at Crestwood Elementary in Rancho Palos Verdes. Dance has always been a passion of mine, in high-school, I was on the song team (dance/pom) so I am very spirited and outgoing. I have extensive experience as a caregiver. I am the oldest of 2 younger siblings that I care for and 5+ years of experience with sitting. I have babysat in the past for neighborhood families through other sitting apps such as Bambino. In the past summers, I would work at La Primera Preschool with all the younger children. I would assist the caregivers and teachers in changing diapers, cleaning, and watching the children play, etc. I can prepare simple meals for your child, help your child with homework, and I am great with pets! I can also do late nights if you need more time while you’re out! I work from a place of empathy and kindness. I would love to hear from you!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
