Booked by 9 families in Cypress, CA

Hi my name is Zayneb. I am a student at CSULB. I am offering childcare and petcare. I am a middle child of 3 siblings. I have a very large extended family and always find myself taking care of the children at family gatherings. I have babysat different families for the last 4 years. The responsibilities I took on were preparing dinner, getting the children ready for bed, going to the park, diapering, and putting the children to sleep. I have babysat ages <1 year-10 years. I am responsible, dependable, flexible, safety-conscious, quick thinking, and patient. I am BLS CPR certified. I have a dog, so walking your pet can be included in my service. I am confident in doing dishes, vacuuming, picking up, and laundry.

Booked by 90 families in Cypress, CA

Hi! I am 29 years old, have an AA in American Sign Language/Interpreter Training and am a behavior technician. I speak fluent English and Spanish and am still learning to fully communicate in ASL. I get along with kids, due to the many in my family, and love to get creative and fun with them. I get my experience from babysitting children of family and friends, and have cared for kids of all ages, especially since starting on urbansitter. I like dancing, karaoke, drawing, painting, and so much more. I accept cash and zelle, but will accept getting paid through the app if you prefer, just let me know. I am very communicative with parents and guardians and send constant updates. For pet sitting, the rate is negotiable. I love all animals! I have dogs and a turtle of my own, as well as provide care for other pets of family and friends. I volunteered at an animal hospital for a year and gained some experience with sick and critical patients, as well as giving medications. I also gained experience from my own dogs with paralysis, blindness, ear infections, and more. I love babysitting! Let me know if there's anything else you want to know about me and I will get back to you ASAP.

“Five stars would definitely recommend to any family looking for someone with a wonderful approach to both neurotypical and neurodivergent children, very reliable, communicative, and professional. Vanessa was great with our five year- old & my daughter felt immediately comfortable with her, & my seven-year-old nonverbal son did just fine all night long. Vanessa is very experienced in handling children on the spectrum and taking the patience, understanding and care, which is something I look for in every Babysitter I hire . They all did so well together, I really look for someone who has experience with neurodivergent children and Vanessa was five stars all the way I really appreciate how she engaged she was with my babies. We will definitely be having Vanessa over again.”

Hi, I'm Jazmine! I have 10 years of experience with children, 9 years of experience with children under 3 and 7 years of experience with infants under 1. I am BLS CPR certified and proficient in Spanish. I tend to take a screen-free approach, unless the parents say otherwise, to encourage creativity and flexible thinking. I believe in developing a sense of trust, communication and respect with all families I work with. If you have any pets, I can make sure that their needs are met as well. Additionally, I am not opposed to doing light housework (laundry, dishes, tidying up), to keep things running smoothly once I depart. I am available for occasional date nights, ad hoc days, and overnights. Like what you see? I hope to hear from you soon!!!

Booked by 47 families in Cypress, CA

Hello, my name is Allyssa, and I am a current grad student at San Jose State University pursuing my dream of becoming a Speech Language Pathologist. I pride myself on being responsible, reliable, and full of energy, especially when it comes to working with children. Being the oldest of four, I have gained extensive experience caring for children of all ages. Back home in Orange County, I had the opportunity to work with up to four different families, ranging from ages 1-15 years old. Now, I am actively seeking part-time and one-time job opportunities that align well with my academic commitments. In addition to creating a joyful and engaging environment for kids, I can also handle meal preparation and provide homework assistance. On a personal note, I had the privilege of playing collegiate soccer, highlighting my dedication and teamwork skills. I am fully vaccinated and more than happy to share excellent references upon request. Looking forward to the chance to connect soon!

“Allyssa is pure sunshine! She connected with my son immediately and they played and played for an hour and a half with a water break here and there (:”
