Find a babysitter in Newhall, CA

Warm, attentive, experienced nanny devoted to your little ones. Hello parents! My name is Beata. I’m an Indonesian-born US citizen with more than 13 years of experience caring for children. These days my heart is with the littlest ones, and I love to begin with babies around 8-14 months and grow alongside them through toddlerhood, usually until they start preschool. I first started nannying in Boston in the mid-1980s, while studying music and photography in college. After spending two decades working as a photographer, in 2017 I returned to caregiving full time as a deliberate choice. I’ve loved every minute since. I tend to stay for the long term and become part of the family. Many of the families I’ve worked with stay in touch for years, long after my regular days with their children have ended. That kind of lasting bond is exactly what I hope for. I have a deep and genuine interest in how young children grow, and over the years I've built a real, hands-on understanding of early development. I'm a curious, thoughtful person who loves learning, and I bring that same engaged, attentive mind to your child's care. I bring undivided presence when I’m with your child. I watch them closely, following their lead, and noticing the small signals that tell me what they needs before they have the words for it. When a little one is upset, my instinct is to meet them calmly and warmly, so distress is always responded with kindness. I believe in helping children learn that feelings are safe to have. I find such joy in being part of these early years. I love to take little ones for walks, sing and read to them, and encourage curiosity through play and gentle, open-ended creative activities. People describe me as gentle, grounded, reliable, organized, and happy to keep a calm, tidy home. I’m physically fit and active, and I love being on the move with little ones. Outside of work I read widely, study languages & cultures, and take photographs. I’m bilingual in English-Indonesian, with basic Spanish and French. I bring an artist’s eye into the way I play and create with children. I have never owned any pet but have been very comfortable working in households with dogs. If you’re hoping to find someone who will become a warm, steady, loving presence in your child’s early years, I’d love to hear from you! Best, Beata

Hello! My name is Alley, and I'm a recent UCLA graduate with extensive experience in education and with kids. A little more about me: I have several years of experience working with children. Most recently, I've worked at an after-school program as a coordinator, creating curriculum for elementary aged children focused on expression and creativity. I’ve also worked at a daycare center in the Bay Area, where I gained lots of experience with children in all aspects of their daily care. I was directly responsible for infants as young as 4 months old, and children aged 2-12 years old at this center. In both roles I cared for several children at a time—so, I feel well prepared me for just about any babysitting scenario under the sun! I have also done occasional sitting for families in the Los Angeles area. I really love being a small part of a child’s upbringing and seeing them develop into amazing individuals. It’s been super rewarding. I have used UrbanSitter as an avenue to seek out these opportunities, and have worked with some wonderful families as a result! Besides all that, I have experience as a dance teacher at a children’s summer camp in Northern California, and have done language tutoring in both French and English. Also not bad at cooking kids favorites like mac n cheese or PB&Js. Please feel free to reach out if you're interested in having me work with your family! Always happy to chat or provide references.

Hi! My name is Dani, and I’m a dedicated and reliable babysitter with nine years of childcare experience. I am a graduate from Cal State Los Angeles with a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and 12 units in Early Childhood Education/Childhood Development Studies, giving me a strong foundation and understanding in caring for children. I have worked with children of all ages, from infants to teens, but I have the most experience caring for toddlers and elementary-aged kids. My past responsibilities for previous families have included school pick-ups, driving to extracurricular activities, homework help, light cleaning, meal and snack prep, and bedtime routines. I am CPR, First Aid, and Water Safety certified, ensuring your child’s safety at all times. Additionally, my work experience in the mental health field has given me the skills to provide a calm, patient, and supportive environment for children of all backgrounds and needs. Being on time, following rules, and having good communication with parents are values I hold, while still being able to make things fun and enjoyable for the kids. As a babysitter, it is important for me to be present and connect with your kids. I’d love the opportunity to support your family in providing quality care for your children.
