Dear Parents, my name is Sabrina. I've always had a passion for working with children. I started babysitting at 18 years old, so that's over 10+ years now, was a nanny for 2 years, and an assistant teacher at a daycare. I now work at a non profit organization for children. I believe we really shape children's lives, so I would wish to make a difference in at least one child's life. With me, your children will have fun, playing, and learning in a safe and comfortable environment. I enjoy taking children to the zoo, park, movies, and museums. I also enjoy coloring, reading, writing or drawing with children. I am responsible, dependable, and fun. I have 2 years of paid experience as a nanny with elementary aged children (2 girls). My experience includes preparing meals, transporting child to and from home/activities/school and cleaning up after. I also have 10 years of babysitting experience, mostly for date nights or different occasions. I have experience changing diapers, bottle feeding, and putting babies to sleep. I'm honest, clean, organized, loving and respectful. I only ask for the opportunity to get to know me and put me to the test and you can compare my ability.
“Sabrina is friendly, warm and punctual. My daughter had a blast with her! ”
Hi! I’m a communications and comparative world literature student at Cal State Long Beach, born and raised in SF. I have seven years of babysitting/nannying experience and have also worked at summer camps as a counselor/CIT. Currently, I work as a behaviorist for children with special needs. I am CPR/first aid certified.
Hello, my name is Lacey and I am a second year in college and CSU Long Beach majoring in Public Health. I have always had a passion for working with kids, which is a big part of why I want to become a pediatric PA in the future. I have two nieces and three nephews of my own from infant to 4 years, and spending time with them and babysitting them has given me a lot of hands on experience caring for children of different ages and personalities. I have also babysat for other families with kids who are older ages and really enjoyed creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them to be in. I would describe myself as patient, responsible, and energetic. I love being creative, playing games, and being outside to have fun, but also love a movie night once in a while. I can do anything from cooking a meal, maybe not gourmet, but something balanced and sustainable and even helping with homework, especially in math and science. I have previously been CPR certified although it recently expired, but I am working on getting certified again! I am also a big animal lover and have four dogs and a cat of my own, so I am completely comfortable caring for pets too. I also have my own reliable car, so I can provide transportation if needed and am also willing to drive the family car if preferred. Overall, I am a dependable and caring babysitter who love making sure kids (and pets!) feel safe, happy, and are well cared for.
Hi, I’m Kris! I’m a caring and dependable babysitter with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and current Adult & Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certification. I have over 3 years of experience working as a teacher aide in a preschool and childcare setting, where I created fun, age-appropriate activities and supported children’s learning in a safe and nurturing environment. I’m also currently taking units in early childhood development as I pursue my career goal of becoming a preschool teacher, which continues to strengthen my understanding of child growth, learning, and development. As a mom to a 12-year-old, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your child. I also have hands-on experience caring for children from infancy through school age, including my niece and nephew since they were newborns. I’m patient, reliable, and love engaging kids through reading, creative play, and outdoor walks. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little ones!
Hi , I'm 28 years old. I am patient, responsible, friendly, funny and honest person. I was an au pair in Florida for 2 years, I was take-caring 4 children at the same time, they gave me the best experience of my life. I have experience with newborns, toddlers and kids (6-7yo). I like to play with them, paint, draw, go to walk with them, crafts, etc. I have a clean driving record. I'm pet lover. No smoking. I can help you with kid's laundry, putting them in naps, prepare their food, clean up their toys and everything about your kid. My native language is Spanish, so if you are comfortable I can teach your kid a little bit Spanish, in the same way I learn from them, I'm still improving my English .

"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
