Booked by 8 families in Riverside, CA

Hello! I'm a full-time college student studying Biology. On my time off, I like to read, bake, and binge a show. I come from a bigger family so I've always helped take care of people when I can. I enjoy helping others with academics since I've had roles as a mentor/tutor from middle through high school. I'm comfortable in the kitchen and cleaning up around the house.

Gisela Riverside
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Gisela. Im a nursing student, experienced caregiver, and someone who genuinely loves working with kids. I’ve worked through the YMCA in after-school programs with children from 1st to 5th grade, and I’m also the proud, very involved aunt to a 5-year-old niece who keeps me on my toes. I’m great with animals (dogs are my specialty, but I fully respect cats and their space), comfortable with cleaning and household help, and I bring a lot of warmth and structure to the families I work with. I come from a Mexican background where caring for others is second nature, and my healthcare experience has taught me patience, attentiveness, and strong communication. I chose nannying because it fits well with my nursing school schedule and because caregiving is something I truly enjoy.

Hi! I’ve been babysitting for years, working with various ages from infancy to teens. I am currently a SAHM for my own child and am looking to watch an infant along with mine (part-time preferred). Your house or mine is fine, either way. WFH parents is a plus. Willing to offer a slightly reduced rate for this arrangement. Benefits for you and your baby: - Socialization with a child their age in a more personal space - A caregiver that is well equipped in infant care - Cheaper rate - I can teach your ASL baby signs that they can use to communicate 😊 (if you’d like) Message me if you’d like to know more about how I make it work with caring for more than one child.

Nadiia was on time and very friendly! She played with my son and did a good job with him. My son was happy with her and felt comfortable right away. :)

Hello Urban Sitter families! My name is Hadie, I am a Registered Nurse who took a step back from my full-time bedside nursing career to be with my family and work as a Per diem Nurse. I joined Urban Sitter back in 2015, where I worked with several families and became a nanny to one family for 8 years. I am offering child care, pet care, and senior care services. I enjoy being a babysitter/caregiver and have cared for individuals of all ages, newborn to 100 years old, and all ages in between. I cook, clean, organize, drive, and do anything asked to the best of my ability. I love working with children and creating all kinds of indoor and outdoor activities, movie watching, singing and dancing, baking, sports, and even arts and crafts. I cannot wait to see what opportunities I get and the families I will meet. Thank you for your time! I'm currently not taking full-time jobs; however, I am interested in a part-time job if it is the right fit for both of us and scheduling. I would mostly love to help with date nights/occasional babysitting.
