Hi! My name is Miesha, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. I truly enjoy working with children and getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routine. Over the years, I’ve worked with many different families, and one thing I’ve learned is that every child and every household is different. I’m available for date nights, occasional care, overnight care, hotel and travel care, amusement park care, special events, and families who may need care outside of a traditional schedule. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple children at once. I’m CPR, First Aid, and AED certified for infants, children, and adults, as well as TrustLine registered. Safety is very important to me, and I want parents to be able to leave knowing their children are in good hands. When I’m caring for children, I like to actually interact with them rather than just supervise. Depending on their age and interests, that might mean playing games, going outside, doing arts and crafts, reading, baking, watching a movie together, helping with homework, or simply listening while they tell me about all the things they’re currently excited about. 😊 I’m also happy to help with meals, bedtime routines, and keeping things tidy while the children are in my care. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality & Tourism Management with a minor in Business Administration from San Francisco State University. My professional background also includes working in childcare staffing, where I’ve trained nannies and helped match caregivers with families based on their individual childcare needs. I know inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your children is a big deal. I’m respectful of each family’s routines, household rules, parenting preferences, and expectations. I’m dependable, communicative, and flexible, and I always want both the parents and children I work with to feel comfortable with me. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and baking, sports, traveling, spending time outdoors, going to amusement parks, and exploring new places. Whether you need a sitter for a date night, work, an event, vacation, hotel stay, overnight care, or just some time to yourself, I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family!

Booked by 56 families in Maywood, CA

Hi, my name is Tatia. I am very energetic, organized, dependable, and genuinely caring. I love spending time with children, creating fun activities, and helping them learn and grow at the same time. Over the years, I have worked with children of many different ages in both daycare and educational settings. I previously worked at the daycare center at RefugeeOne, where I cared for groups of children ages 1–11. I also volunteered as a tutor for middle school students, helping with English, math, and science homework. In addition, I spent two months doing service work at a daycare center in San Jose, Costa Rica, and worked for about three years in the after-school program at Lycee Francais de Chicago (French school) with children ages 3–5. Professionally, I have spent the last several years building my career in property management and operations leadership. I am currently in between career transitions and taking time to thoughtfully decide on my next long-term professional move. During this period, I would love to return to working with children through occasional and part-time babysitting, as it has always been something I genuinely enjoy and find fulfilling. I am CPR/First Aid certified and pride myself on being patient, attentive, responsible, and engaging with children. My philosophy is to keep kids active, entertained, safe, and supported so they feel comfortable and have fun while parents feel at ease. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I am available for occasional, part-time, evening, and weekend babysitting opportunities. Please feel free to contact me if you would like references or recommendations from previous families I have worked with — I would be happy to provide them. Please note: 2-hour minimum.

$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 90 families in Maywood, CA

Hi! I am 28 years old, have an AA in American Sign Language/Interpreter Training and am a behavior technician. I speak fluent English and Spanish and am still learning to fully communicate in ASL. I get along with kids, due to the many in my family, and love to get creative and fun with them. I get my experience from babysitting children of family and friends, and have cared for kids of all ages, especially since starting on urbansitter. I like dancing, karaoke, drawing, painting, and so much more. I accept cash and zelle, but will accept getting paid through the app if you prefer, just let me know. I am very communicative with parents and guardians and send constant updates. For pet sitting, the rate is negotiable. I love all animals! I have dogs and a turtle of my own, as well as provide care for other pets of family and friends. I volunteered at an animal hospital for a year and gained some experience with sick and critical patients, as well as giving medications. I also gained experience from my own dogs with paralysis, blindness, ear infections, and more. I love babysitting! Let me know if there's anything else you want to know about me and I will get back to you ASAP.

Five stars would definitely recommend to any family looking for someone with a wonderful approach to both neurotypical and neurodivergent children, very reliable, communicative, and professional. Vanessa was great with our five year- old & my daughter felt immediately comfortable with her, & my seven-year-old nonverbal son did just fine all night long. Vanessa is very experienced in handling children on the spectrum and taking the patience, understanding and care, which is something I look for in every Babysitter I hire . They all did so well together, I really look for someone who has experience with neurodivergent children and Vanessa was five stars all the way I really appreciate how she engaged she was with my babies. We will definitely be having Vanessa over again.
