Elizabeth $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Elizabeth, and I’m a Business Economics student at UC Riverside. I have experience working with children through volleyball camps and at a daycare, where I helped supervise activities and create a fun, safe environment. I’m patient, responsible, and happy to help with homework, crafts, meals, and playtime. I’m also comfortable caring for pets, with experience taking care of my own cat and friends’ dogs. I look forward to providing dependable, caring babysitting for your family!

Sydney $40 per hour for 1 child

✨ Hi Families! My name is Sydney, and I’m a career nanny and family assistant with over 5 years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I’m currently represented through a staffing agency as I search for my next long-term family fit, but I’m also here on UrbanSitter because I genuinely love connecting with families and helping wherever I can in the meantime. I would describe myself as calm, warm, organized, and very hands-on. I love creating a home environment where kids feel safe, understood, and comfortable being themselves. Whether that’s helping with routines, planning fun activities, getting outside, helping with homework, or simply being an extra steady support for busy parents, I truly enjoy being someone families can rely on. Along with childcare, I’m happy to help with family assistant style tasks like meal prep, laundry, organization, errands, and keeping things running smoothly day-to-day. I’ve worked in long-term, travel, and rotational roles, so I’m very adaptable and comfortable in busy households. Outside of work, I love mountain biking, swimming, long-distance running, and rock climbing, and I naturally bring a very active and positive energy into my work with kids. 🤍 Right now I’m mainly looking for my next long-term fit, but I’m also open to temporary help, date nights, weekends, and short-term support for families who need an extra hand.

Maria $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maria Paula, and I’m a caring, dependable person who truly enjoys spending time with children. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves while learning and growing, and I enjoy to be around kids. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy engaging children in activities like reading, crafts, outdoor play, and helping with routines that keep their day positive and structured. Building trusting relationships with both children and parents is very important to me, and I always strive to support each family’s unique needs and values. I’ve been working with the same family for the past four years, where I currently care for their 4-year-old and 8-year-old. During that time, I’ve gained a lot of experience managing daily routines, planning fun activities, playing with my kids and making sure the children feel happy and supported throughout the day. I’m currently looking for a full-time position with a family where I can provide consistent, loving care and become a positive part of your child’s daily life. I look forward to connecting and learning more about your family!
