Hello! Looking for a caregiver who naturally connects with your little ones and furry family members, and who brings years of trusted, loving experience? That’s me! My name is Deborah, and caregiving has long been something I’m deeply drawn to and truly passionate about. I’m currently working as a full-time nanny for a wonderful family through UrbanSitter, and I’m so grateful that this has become my professional career. Friends, families, and clients have consistently trusted me with their most precious children and beloved pets, knowing they’re in caring, responsible, and attentive hands. I focus on creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel happy, supported, and secure. Whether it’s imaginative play, helping with routines, or simply sharing calm, comforting moments, I’m dedicated to being a positive and reliable presence in your child’s day. Although I’m committed full-time during weekdays, I’m available for evening care and Saturdays, and I’d love to support your family whenever you need extra help. Please feel free to reach out for date nights, weekend coverage, or special occasions. I understand the deep trust families place in their caregivers, and building a strong, respectful partnership with your family is very important to me. I’m a dedicated listener, quick learner, and someone who always strives to provide dependable, high-quality care. If you’re looking for someone who feels like a natural extension of your family, I’d love to connect! Please send me a message, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. If I don’t respond immediately, I’m likely caring for a precious little one. 😊

Booked by 305 families in Walnut Park, CA

Hello parents! My expertise ranges from newborns, to school aged children, and occasionally preteens. I know how to change diapers and make bottles to prepare healthy snacks and play while learning. From my experiences with children, it seems to me that children tend to easily bond with me as I am fun while providing a sense of trust and security. Family life is my passion as my own family means a lot to me. *I would gladly appreciate if you send me message first describing your needs. I can accept the job without a phone interview should we exchange messages with all the details. Ps.s. Last minute cancelations made within 6 hours of the start time would require payment for three hours of my time.

“Lanae was amazing!! She was on time, so sweet with my newborn, and made me feel completely comfortable from the start. We used her for several nights and she was wonderful every time. She cleaned bottles without being asked and paid attention to all the little details. She even surprised my friend’s little boy with a new toy after he lost his, which was so thoughtful. I felt completely at ease leaving my baby with her and would absolutely recommend her.”

Booked by 24 families in Walnut Park, CA

Hi, I was born and raised in Honolulu. I attended La Pietra Hawaii School for Girls at Diamond Head from 6th grade to 12th. I graduated with my BS in Global Media from The New School in NYC May 2021. I graduated with my Masters in Liberal & Media Studies, May 2022 from The New School of Social Research. I grew up with a houseful of pets! I am Red Cross certified in pediatric first aid, CPR, AED and child care training. I have a fully clear background check. I love children and they love me! I have a car and can transport children as needed - with mileage reimbursement in addition to my hourly rate, or I can drive the family car. I do not have a car seat. I am looking for occasional afternoon and/or weeknight sitting. I recently started a full-time pre-K teaching assignment at a Manhattan Beach area elementary school so I prefer weekday afternoons to be near my school. Contact me if you think I would be a good fit for your family! Chase

“Chase is terrific! Our son took to her right away, and when she left he told us "we really really had a lot of fun". Chase was punctual, smart, friendly and of course, great with kids :). Look forward to working ith her again!”

If I sit for your family, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd rate me on my services to you. Hi! I’m a caring and dependable childcare provider with over 15 years of experience working with children from infancy through early elementary age. I’m currently studying Child Development and work on call as a substitute Teacher Assistant with children ages 0–5. I have a strong background in infant and toddler care and am comfortable with all parts of daily routines, including feedings, naps, diapering, potty training, and bedtime. I’ve cared for up to four children at once and enjoy supporting sibling relationships in a calm, positive way. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and supported. I aim to create a fun, nurturing environment while also following family routines and expectations closely. I’m reliable, patient, and communicative, and I love helping parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

“Ta’Janee was professional, communicative, and followed our preferences/instructions regarding family dynamics. We would hire her again :)”

Booked by 18 families in Walnut Park, CA

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.”
