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!

Hello, my name is Crystal. I’m 31 years old and earned my B.A. in Child Development and Family Studies from CSULB in 2018. I recently received my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and am excited to continue growing in the field of education. I have always had a passion for working with children and began babysitting at 15 years old, caring for my younger sibling and cousins. Throughout high school, I volunteered in after-school programs where I worked with elementary-aged children, helping them complete homework and build strong study skills. After graduating, I worked as a program leader, managing a class of about 20 children. My responsibilities included planning engaging activities, ensuring safety, serving snacks, collaborating with families and staff, and creating a fun, nurturing, and structured environment. I also have experience as an elementary tutor and a full-time preschool teacher, where I built strong relationships with families and provided additional babysitting support when needed. During COVID, I worked as a full-time nanny for multiple families until 2023. Since January 2023, I have been working as a substitute teacher while continuing my education. I would describe myself as nurturing, kind, patient, and dependable. I truly enjoy being part of a child’s growth, helping them learn, supporting their needs, and creating a safe, positive, and fun environment. I am currently available for summer babysitting from June through mid-August and am open to part-time or full-time opportunities during that time. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide attentive, caring, and enriching care for your children!

Great interaction with the kids with keeping them occupied, creative and engaged.

Hi, and thanks for stopping by! I have many years of experience working with high-net-worth and high-profile families in Los Angeles. I’m TrustLine registered and have been thoroughly vetted by some of LA’s top nanny agencies. I currently work as a full-time, rotational live-in nanny in Montecito on a three-weeks-on, three-weeks-off schedule. During my off weeks, I’m happy to support local families needing occasional help. My schedule is guaranteed through the end of the year. I look forward to connecting! (My rate is flexible depending on your location and number of children—feel free to message me to discuss.)

Booked by 90 families in Lynwood, CA

Hi! I am 28 years old, have an AA in American Sign Language/Interpreter Training and am a behavior technician. I speak fluent English and Spanish and am still learning to fully communicate in ASL. I get along with kids, due to the many in my family, and love to get creative and fun with them. I get my experience from babysitting children of family and friends, and have cared for kids of all ages, especially since starting on urbansitter. I like dancing, karaoke, drawing, painting, and so much more. I accept cash and zelle, but will accept getting paid through the app if you prefer, just let me know. I am very communicative with parents and guardians and send constant updates. For pet sitting, the rate is negotiable. I love all animals! I have dogs and a turtle of my own, as well as provide care for other pets of family and friends. I volunteered at an animal hospital for a year and gained some experience with sick and critical patients, as well as giving medications. I also gained experience from my own dogs with paralysis, blindness, ear infections, and more. I love babysitting! Let me know if there's anything else you want to know about me and I will get back to you ASAP.

Five stars would definitely recommend to any family looking for someone with a wonderful approach to both neurotypical and neurodivergent children, very reliable, communicative, and professional. Vanessa was great with our five year- old & my daughter felt immediately comfortable with her, & my seven-year-old nonverbal son did just fine all night long. Vanessa is very experienced in handling children on the spectrum and taking the patience, understanding and care, which is something I look for in every Babysitter I hire . They all did so well together, I really look for someone who has experience with neurodivergent children and Vanessa was five stars all the way I really appreciate how she engaged she was with my babies. We will definitely be having Vanessa over again.

Hi my name is Marlem, I look forward meeting you and working for your family, but most of all helping out when times are needed. Also, as much as you need me I am there and I'm happy to be there for your kids and you. I love to cook from Breakfast, lunch, and dinner and I love to bake too. I like to interact with your kids from their sports, school activities, homework, anything that entertains them and its educational. I like to make or prep your kids meal(s) that's left for dinner time, once they are ready or meanwhile they are doing homework. I know and understand when you need help and you don't have help. Because my mom was a nanny for a very long time and I grew up watching her. Seeing her be a nanny was a good experience for me and now that I'm grown I would like to give back just like my mom did, I understand why my mom did it now and I love her for it. I have my own reliable car and am comfortable with drop offs and pick-ups, available for all job(s) around the Los Angeles area & Orange County area too. I've worked with family's located up to 25-36 miles from me. I am responsible, reliable and puntual for all my families regardless the distance. I responded back with a text message in 25 seconds of my booking. Also, I'm confident to watch your newborns and toddlers, and middle-schoolers and quickly to abducting to the schedule for your baby. For example for infants, feeding and making bottles, burping, rocking, and changing diaper before and after bottle and nap time, changing clothes if needed. ***I'm CPR and First Aid certified and can provide my card at all times*** ***I am Postpartum dual, Ready to be there for you and your family.*** Note hourly rate are different *** *** Any requests to work on holidays hourly rate will be double *** *** I'm taking COVID very seriously and following CDC guidelines & requirements to stay safe*** **Note; If shift(s) or set schedule ends earlier at parents request, compensation will be for the regular set hours & schedule and paid in full.** I look forward hearing from you soon and working with you.
