Hi, I'm Jazmine! I have 10 years of experience with children, 9 years of experience with children under 3 and 7 years of experience with infants under 1. I am BLS CPR certified and proficient in Spanish. I tend to take a screen-free approach, unless the parents say otherwise, to encourage creativity and flexible thinking. I believe in developing a sense of trust, communication and respect with all families I work with. If you have any pets, I can make sure that their needs are met as well. Additionally, I am not opposed to doing light housework (laundry, dishes, tidying up), to keep things running smoothly once I depart. I am available for occasional date nights, ad hoc days, and overnights. Like what you see? I hope to hear from you soon!!!
“She was great and knowledgeable about child development and how to handle toddlers. Would highly recommend! ”
Hello, my name is Allyssa, and I am a current grad student at San Jose State University pursuing my dream of becoming a Speech Language Pathologist. I pride myself on being responsible, reliable, and full of energy, especially when it comes to working with children. Being the oldest of four, I have gained extensive experience caring for children of all ages. Back home in Orange County, I had the opportunity to work with up to four different families, ranging from ages 1-15 years old. Now, I am actively seeking part-time and one-time job opportunities that align well with my academic commitments. In addition to creating a joyful and engaging environment for kids, I can also handle meal preparation and provide homework assistance. On a personal note, I had the privilege of playing collegiate soccer, highlighting my dedication and teamwork skills. I am fully vaccinated and more than happy to share excellent references upon request. Looking forward to the chance to connect soon!
“Allyssa is pure sunshine! She connected with my son immediately and they played and played for an hour and a half with a water break here and there (:”
I am a working professional living in Long Beach with years of childcare experience. Since back in college, I had consistently nannied for around 6 years. I've continued to work part time in southern California with Urban Sitter for many new and repeat families. I am hard working, energetic, and reliable. I am familiar with bathing, bottle feeding, and bedtime routines. I am open to working long days or date nights. I try to respond as quickly as I can and I am also available for phone interviews!
Hello! I'm currently a Design Consultant at an SF based apparel and accessories company. I enjoy making furniture, cooking, and doing anything creative. I have been a nanny/sitter for six years and have worked with children ranging from 3 months-5 years old. Getting to be a nannying/sitter has been an awesome experience because I have gotten to be part of kiddos lives and enjoy watching them grow.
“Shanti worked with my family for several months caring for my son 4mo-9mo 20 hours per week. She was a ray of sunshine. She always showed up on time and was not only engaged with my son but also was so proactive in helping out with any and all housekeeping whenever his napping allowed. I always came home to a spotless house. She is also wonderful to talk to!”

“Karina took care of my siblings like no one else, as she not only created a safe space for them but also suggested a series of recreational activities that my siblings continue to practice today, such as drawing, painting, and playing soccer. Additionally, she always ensured that my siblings were comfortable, well-fed, and surrounded by lots of love. I highly recommend Karina's caregiving!”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
