Aloha! I've been a childcare specialist on/off for the last decade. I specialize in conversational language development and helping children build confidence through age-appropriate activities. I love to laugh and am partial to a dance party. I know how to join the rhythm of a family unit, explain big ideas in a kid-friendly way and communicate concisely with parents so they can handle disciplinary action in a timely manner. My favorite kid stuff to do is drawing tutorials on Art Kid Hub (YouTube), footraces at Lake Elizabeth and k-pop karaoke.
“I can't recommend Losa enough. She is kind, patient, and has a calm presence that helps kids feel safe, comfortable, and understood. She's also fun, playful, and a little silly, which makes it easy for children to connect with her and genuinely enjoy being around her. One of the things I appreciate most about Losa is the way she helps children understand their emotions and behaviors. Instead of simply correcting them, she takes the time to help them recognize what they're feeling and gives them age-appropriate tools to work through those emotions. She encourages confidence, emotional regulation, and self-awareness in a way that feels supportive and empowering. Losa also does a great job of balancing support with healthy boundaries. She knows when to step in to guide a child and when to step back so they can problem-solve, learn, and build independence on their own. Her focus on conversational language development and confidence-building comes through naturally in the way she interacts with children every day. Any family would be lucky to have Losa. She brings warmth, joy, and encouragement wherever she goes, and her presence is truly a gift.”
I’m a dependable, patient, and attentive caregiver who takes pride in creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment. I adapt to each family’s or individual’s unique needs and communicate clearly and respectfully. I’m experienced with supervising children, assisting seniors with daily routines and companionship, caring for pets, and helping with household tasks such as light cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, and organization. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to providing compassionate, trustworthy care that gives families peace of mind.
Hi there! My name is Tara. I have my Bachelors in Business Administration and work in the tech field. Since childhood I’ve been passionate about helping children learn and grow. I’ve been a nanny since I was a child myself, starting with a baby-sitters club I made with my best friend in 6th grade. I have extensive experience working with infants to grade school aged children and also focused my early career working at Challenger School and nannying for various families. I enjoy spending my spare time singing, reading, gardening, creating art, baking, traveling to new places, skiing, spending time outdoors, and being around family.
Hi! My name is Madison, and I’m a 22-year-old college student based in Union City. I have experience caring for children of different ages and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I am CPR and First Aid certified and understand the importance of patience, responsibility, and communication when caring for children. Whether it’s helping with meals, playtime, bedtime routines, or homework, I strive to provide dependable care that parents can trust. I am reliable, attentive, and passionate about helping families while giving children a positive and engaging experience.
I am a patient and caring babysitter with hands-on childcare experience from caring for my own nieces and nephews. I’ve looked after infants and toddlers ranging from 6 months to 3 years old, supporting daily routines, playtime, and basic care. I’m calm, attentive, and very comfortable with babies and young children. Vietnamese is my mother tongue, and I’m also competent in 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."
