Shayla $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Shayla! I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, and it’s something I’ve always truly loved. I’m looking for a side job that’s more fulfilling than my current full time position, and caring for kids is exactly that and more. I love doing crafts, helping with homework and tutoring, cooking fun meals, and spending time outside. I also love Zootopia more than I should probably admit. I aim to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where kids feel happy and parents feel confident leaving them in my care.

Cheryl $30 per hour for 1 child

TUTOR..KINDERGARTEN - 3RD GRADE (FULLERTON, BREA, ANAHEIM, YORBA LINDA, PLACENTIA) offered in person Hi, my name is Cheryl. I would like to invite you to allow me to TUTOR your child in your home, or local library. I tutor students from Kindergarten through 3rd grade. I have a Bachelor of Science in Child Development, and I spent 14 years as a public school teacher. This gave me a plethora of skills I use today, working one on one with students in KINDERGARTEN - 3rd GRADE. I have been tutoring for over 20 years. I also have 4 years of teaching 2nd grade students in an a after school program called "THINK TOGETHER." I worked with students in Santa Ana. This program consisted of about 20 students per teacher. I provided help to students with homework, reading skills, language arts, mathematics, writing, and art. I am not trained in teaching autistic children, but I do have experience working with autistic students. I tutor most of the students I have now skills ranging from reading, writing, math, language arts, and help with homework. I hope to hear from you to discuss hiring me as a tutor for your child. I have a positive approach to my tutoring which is focused on the highest potential for your child.

Nice to meet you! I’m Kate, a 37 year old career nanny who moved from Chicago to LA in 2021 for a jet-setting/bi-coastal, travel heavy nanny position, and once the position ended, I decided to stay out here permanently. I live in Orange County with my girlfriend, and work M-Th, 7a-7p, in Studio City. My previous position was Jan ‘23- Nov ‘24. My background has always been in early childhood, and majored in early childhood education in college. I have years of experience with all age ranges and backgrounds: from kids who thrive in group settings to kids that do best with individualized, 1:1 care to kids who are neurodivergent. My first and top priority is the safety and wellbeing. Second is play, exploration, imagination, creativity, and seeing kids explore based on what they are into and things they find interesting. Third is, in my day-to-day, I take a child-centered approach. Including, but not limited to: time outside, walks, going to playgrounds, and finding activities within the home that the kids enjoy. My experience includes: working as a in-home support worker with neurodivergent kids, have worked at 3 early childhood centers (both as an assistant teacher and lead teacher); and all my experience has been from newborn to school age. In my free time: I love checking out new restaurants, adventuring the outdoors with my girlfriend, finding new trails to hike on AllTrails, the beach, and weekend trips

“Kate was amazing with our 2months old daughter. Definitely recommend and will for sure have her helping us again. ❤️🫶🏼 ”

Hey there, my name is Jenny. Nice to meet you! I have been working with Urbansitter since 2013, and I have made meaningful connections with families over the years. Though I’m currently pursuing a doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, I still find joy in babysitting when my schedule allows. I’m known for being patient, goofy, and communicative. My professional background is rooted in hospitality and technology, but I’ve always had a passion for working with kids in diverse settings. I coach volleyball and volunteer as a camp counselor at The Painted Turtle Camp. I’ve also had the privilege of tutoring elementary school kids via Reading Partners and mentoring with Access Youth Academy. Each of these experiences has enriched my ability to connect with kids and support their growth in fun and creative ways.

“Jennifer was very nice and our 3 boys really liked spending the evening with her! She was professional and timely and even honored our request to speak Spanish with our children while she was babysitting them. Would definitely use again as a babysitter.”
