Hi! My name is Maliyah Domingo! I am an 18-year-old college student at Grossmont College. As the oldest of three siblings, I’ve spent much of my life helping care for younger children and understand the importance of patience, communication, and consistency. Caregiving has always been a passion of mine that has motivated me to go to school for nursing. Services that I offer include infant care, toddler care, senior care, care for multiple children, after-school care, homework help, meal and snack preparation, bedtime routines, diaper changing, housekeeping, arts and crafts, outdoor activities and play, sick childcare, and a drivers license for transportation. I have taken care of all ages whether that’s for family, friends, or at the nursery of the church I attend. I also have been taking care of my great aunt with Parkinson’s for almost a year now. I help take care of her at least once a week as well as take care of the infants at my church. During my time at Helix Charter High School, I have earned my Medical Assistant Certification, which gave me valuable healthcare knowledge and experience working responsibly with others. I am also CPR certified so you can feel confident knowing your children will be cared for by someone who is attentive, dependable, and committed to their safety and well-being. I’m available everyday except for Monday and Wednesday from eight am to twelve thirty pm because of school. I strive to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow.
“Maliyah was great and my daughters loved spending time with her”
Hi! My name is Leilah and I'm a recent graduate of SMU. I am almost a Certified Medical Assistant with hopes to apply to nursing school soon! I have all the first aid training needed as well as CPR due to my degree in Anatomy and Physiology. I have been babysitting and nannying since my freshman year of college with ages ranging from 3 months to 15 year olds. I care tremendously about making sure the family I work with is satisfied and comfortable with my work. I am a very caring, loving, and a kindhearted person. I absolutely love taking care of children and would love to lend a helping hand wherever I can!
I’ve always been surrounded by kids and genuinely love spending time with them! I have 11 years of experience helping a family with three girls and two boys, 2 years of experience watching up to eight children while their parents played tennis, and 3 years of experience caring for a family with four boys. I also come from a big family with lots of cousins, so being around children has always been a natural part of my life. More recently, I’ve enjoyed helping care for my 7-month-old nephew. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable caring for children of different ages, managing multiple kids at once, and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment. Babysitting has always been something I genuinely enjoy!
I have 3 years of babysitting experience and have always loved creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids. Most recently, I've worked at The Little Gym for over a year and a half, where I've helped children ages 1-12 build confidence, learn new skills, and have fun through movement and play. In high school, I also spent 2 years in Crossage P.E., where I traveled to a local elementary school to teach P.E. to 1st and 2nd graders. As a first-year college student, I bring a lot of energy, patience, and responsibility to care giving. I'm very protective, dependable, and genuinely enjoy connecting with children of all ages. Whether it's helping with homework, playing games, keeping routines on track, or simply being a positive role model, I love being someone kids feel safe and excited to be around. In addition to childcare, I'm also very comfortable caring for animals. I've grown up around fish, large and small dogs, cats, reptiles, and even insects, so I'm confident working with a wide variety of pets. During my previous babysitting jobs, I regularly helped with household chores and cleaning, and I also prepared meals for the families I worked with. I'm always willing to help around the house however I can. I also have my own car and a valid driver's license, which allows me to commute reliably and provide transportation if needed.

"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."
