Booked by 43 families in Lake Elsinore, CA

I have over 30 years of experience as a caregiver to children, pets and the elderly. I have been responsible for multiples, pick-ups, drop-offs, meals, homework help, bathing, bedtime and overnight stays. I am an animal lover so I am more than happy to help with pet sitting and care as well. I also have experience working with special needs children. I was previously an Intensive Behavior Instructional Assistant for the Garden Grove Unified School District for over 8 years. I have my AA in Social & Behavioral Science, Child & Adolescent Development and Psychology. ***My per child amount is always negotiable.

“Elizabeth helped me with my new puppy and old cranky pup and was very reliable. She communicated well, was on time and my pups were very happy when I got home. I would definitely use her again.”

Booked by 13 families in Lake Elsinore, CA

Hello! I'm a full-time college student studying Biology. On my time off, I like to read, bake, and binge a show. I come from a bigger family so I've always helped take care of people when I can. I enjoy helping others with academics since I've had roles as a mentor/tutor from middle through high school. I'm comfortable in the kitchen and cleaning up around the house.

Hello Urban Sitter families! My name is Hadie, I am a Registered Nurse who took a step back from my full-time bedside nursing career to be with my family and work as a Per diem Nurse. I joined Urban Sitter back in 2015, where I worked with several families and became a nanny to one family for 8 years. I am offering child care, pet care, and senior care services. I enjoy being a babysitter/caregiver and have cared for individuals of all ages, newborn to 100 years old, and all ages in between. I cook, clean, organize, drive, and do anything asked to the best of my ability. I love working with children and creating all kinds of indoor and outdoor activities, movie watching, singing and dancing, baking, sports, and even arts and crafts. I cannot wait to see what opportunities I get and the families I will meet. Thank you for your time! I'm currently not taking full-time jobs; however, I am interested in a part-time job if it is the right fit for both of us and scheduling. I would mostly love to help with date nights/occasional babysitting.

Nakisa $1 per hour for 1 child

I recently moved to California from Toronto, Canada, for my new role as a Principal Systems Engineer at a prestigious medical technology company. While I love my career, I also really enjoy spending my free time with children and being around their energy, curiosity, and creativity. I have experience babysitting for about three years, and I’ve always naturally enjoyed caring for and playing with children. I’m a very patient, responsible, and playful person, and I love doing activities with kids rather than simply watching them. One of my dream jobs has actually always been to work in a daycare or spend my days caring for and interacting with children. Babysitting gives me a wonderful opportunity to do something I genuinely enjoy while also helping a family who needs a trustworthy and caring person for their little ones. My work schedule is Monday through Friday, 9 AM–5 PM, so I’m available for babysitting after 5 PM on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I’d be happy to work with your family’s schedule and help whenever I can . Note: I am doing this job as volunteer work to help families.
