Find an emergency babysitter in Torrance, CA

Hi I'm Sarah. I am a college graduate with professional work experience. I babysat in my teenage years for families in my neighborhood and some outside of my neighborhood who knew me. The majority of those families had young children & infants as they were growing their families. I also had grade school age children. I love playing with kids, making sure they are having fun and sometimes educational experiences. I love the outdoors and taking kids out to the park.

I have been babysitting with UrbanSitter since 2019. I enjoy playing with kids, laughing, challenging them to problem solve, and teaching them random skills. I love math; I studied math at Rio Hondo College and at UC Irvine. I’m a big sister, an aunt, and a mentor. My younger sister graduated college and went on to earn an MBA; my niece graduated from college and is now a nurse. I am an animal lover and I have a very sweet dog. He is about 10 years old and he is a husky, lab, border collie mix. Please let me know if you have any questions.

As the oldest sister of eight siblings my story life helped me to develop the skills to care for kids of all ages, evolving into a problem-solving patient caregiver. In my youth, I started volunteering as a babysitter and tutoring in my community. Later, I went to medical school and graduated as an International Medical graduate in Ecuador, I am currently volunteering at Yale School of Medicine conducting remote research on child development while studying to take the exams for the US medical license. While in college, I practiced Andean folkloric ballet as a professional dancer which aided to sharpen my skillset for teamwork and leadership, expanding my creativity which comes in handy in activities for kids. I am fluent in English and a native Spanish speaker, so I could tutor kids teaching Spanish if it’s an interest of their parents for them to become polylingual. I am also an adept pet house sitter and enjoy gardening. I have professional knowledge on nutrition and am passionate about children's well-being and healthy lifestyles. I am a loving aunty of four cuties, and I like to keep up to date with the animated movies to be able to give them my point of view on their topics while reading fantasy books to them as much as I can. I aspire to become a pediatric surgical oncologist, and will be applying for pediatric and surgical residency programs for 2027. I have a very flexible schedule until then. Looking forward to working with you!

Hello there, my name is Minami! I recently began working as a L&D nurse. I graduated from UCLA with a MSN in Nursing, and is offering childcare and household services during sole of my off days. In the past I was a home health caregiver, and is certified in CPR, BLS, ACLS, NRP, and first aid. I have also been a private tutor for over 3 years (K-6th), so I will gladly help your kids with homework! In both experiences combined, my responsibilities included driving to/from school, walking family dog(s), tutoring, cooking, and assisting with chores. Additionally, I am a crafty, DIY-oriented person who love to create fun activities if that is something your child(ren) would be interested in. In terms of childcare, I have experience taking care of my younger sibling, cousins, family friends, and the kids I've tutored. My schedule is rather flexible outside of classes so reach out if my given availability does not work out! I love to clean around the house to destress, and try new recipes when cooking!
