I’m a first-born, type 2 on the Enneagram, and a lifelong high achiever with a deep love for kids. I’ve been babysitting since before I could drive, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for families of all sizes—including newborns. Looking back, I’m always amazed at the trust families placed in me at such a young age. I’m naturally responsible and connect easily with children; my mom always thought I’d become an elementary school teacher because kids seemed to gravitate toward me. Instead, I pursued my entrepreneurial dreams and now run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to support families on the side. I’ve also been babysitting for my friends’ children for years, and it’s such a joy to provide a safe, nurturing space for kids while helping families. I feel truly blessed to combine my love for children with the freedom my business provides.
Hi! I'm a former nurse with a Master’s in Psychology and over 15 years of experience caring for children, seniors, and families. I bring a calming presence, clear communication, and a lot of patience to the families I work with. I’ve cared for kids of all ages—from newborns to teens—and also support older adults, including those with memory or mobility challenges. Alongside my caregiving background, I’m trained in mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and creative, play-based care. Whether it’s managing routines, helping with transitions, or simply bringing ease to the day, I step in with clarity, calm, and care. I’m currently pursuing an ongoing professional development program, so I don’t have regular availability. I accept jobs as they come, and all bookings require my approval—please send a request, and I’ll let you know if I can help. Families describe me as trustworthy, nurturing, and easy to talk to. I’d love to connect and support your family!
Hello Parents My name is Melisah. I started babysitting when I was in 7th grade (2004). I am a middle school PE teacher. I have been a middle school PE teacher for the past 5 years and worked as an elementary PE teacher 3 years prior to that. I enjoy working with kids of all ages, including newborn babies. I am certified in adult, child and baby CPR/First-Aid/AED.
I’m currently a college student at USC with 4 years of tutoring experience, working with students of all ages to help them grow academically and build confidence. For the past 3 years, I’ve also babysat part-time for multiple families, primarily caring for children ages 1 and up. I’ve handled infants on several occasions and would love to gain more hands-on experience with younger babies as well. I’m calm under pressure, very organized, and always prioritize creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing snacks, playing games, or managing bedtime routines, I’m happy to support families however I can. As a student, I bring energy and strong communication skills. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with both kids and parents, and I’m committed to making your family’s day a little easier.

"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
