I go by Nelli :) Experienced babysitter/nanny/doula. I started at Jovie in 2023, then moved to care.com, and now available with UrbanSitter! Once I realized how much I enjoy working with infants and advocating for parents I began studying to become a doula. I now am 4 years experienced with all ages working as a full spectrum doula who provides occasional infant and childcare. I am here to represent kids and families with the support and advocacy they need. (Also have excellent references :) Certifications: full spectrum doula, CPR, AED
Hi, my name is Regina, I’m 25 years old and I have more than 5+ years of experience working / taking care of children I love babysitting, take care of newborns, infants, toddlers and kids, have a good time with them, playing, doing crafts, and making fun activities. I have between 4-5 years of experience and more than 1000+ hours. I have a California driver’s license, I’m very responsable, and we could make a good team!
Hi! I’m Gabrielle. I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable person who genuinely loves spending time with children. I’ve been involved in my church’s children’s ministry since I was a teenager, caring for children of all ages—from just a few months old through high school. Over the years, that experience has taught me how to connect with different personalities and age groups, keep children engaged, manage routines, and create an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and happy to help with age-appropriate activities, simple meals or snacks, and light household tasks. I’m also very comfortable around pets. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in the person caring for their children, so I take safety, communication, reliability, and trust very seriously. I truly love kids and would be happy to become someone your family can depend on.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
