I am a mom and empty nester now (daughter in university), and grew up in a big Filipino family, watching siblings and kids my whole life. I have a full time management job at a local firm, I am just offering help here to give back, because it was challenging for me to find good sitters when my daughter was young. I have a clean background check. Open to any questions 😊 I am a Disney Magic Key holder if of interest as well.
15 years of nursing. Worked in home health with both pediatric and elderly patients. I am very friendly and love taking care of children/adults who need me. I take pride in doing my best with each case and each challenge. I am also an animal lover, and pet owner. I have a cat and a dog. They are both very mellow and friendly. I am honest and reliable and I am looking for a good family who may need my help.
Hi, my name is Genine, and I’m currently a senior majoring in education and psychology. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve cared for children of all ages, including infants and school-aged kids, for 2 years. I enjoy engaging in creative activities like crafts, tutoring, outdoor play, and even baking lessons! My experience also includes helping with homework and organizing fun, educational games. I’m certified in pediatric First Aid, CPR, and water safety, ensuring your family is in safe hands. I’m great with pets and offer walking, feeding, and playtime services. As a household assistant, I can cook, clean, run errands, and help keep things organized. Friendly, reliable, and flexible, I’m here to provide care tailored to your family’s unique needs!
I am a credentialed public school teacher in south Orange County. More specifically, I’ve been a dual-language immersion (English and Spanish) teacher focused on working with K-2 students. I enjoy interacting with children and figured nannying could be a great way to expand my child-care skills working with families that could need me for a couple hours.
Hi there! I’m a proud mother of two grown daughters and a loving grandmother to four wonderful grandchildren, ages 8 months to 5 years. Caring for little ones has always been a big part of my life — I regularly babysit my grand kids in the evenings and handle everything from story time to bedtime with ease and patience. I truly enjoy creating a calm, safe, and nurturing environment where children feel happy and secure. With years of hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers, I understand the importance of routines, gentle guidance, and dependable care. Whether it’s dinner, playtime, or bedtime, I’m comfortable managing multiple children and keeping things running smoothly. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and family-oriented to look after your little ones as if they were my own, I’d love to help.

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
