Betty $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Betty. I bring a calm, warm, and dependable presence into the home and truly enjoy supporting children as they grow, learn, and feel secure. I believe in creating a loving environment where children feel safe and happy, while also maintaining gentle structure and consistency throughout the day. I hold three associate degrees in Child Development, Behavioral Science, and Communication, which give me a strong foundation in understanding how children develop and thrive. Along with my education, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, guiding them through important milestones with patience and encouragement. I have extensive experience in infant care, including feeding, diapering, and establishing healthy sleep routines. With the Austin family, I provided consistent, attentive care and helped create a peaceful, structured environment. Her parents often shared how much they appreciated my reliability, attentiveness, and the sense of trust and comfort I brought into their home. In addition to my professional experience, I teach religious education for preschool-aged children, which reflects my faith-centered values and my commitment to guiding children with kindness, respect, and purpose. I truly see each child as a gift and feel honored to support families by providing dependable, heartfelt care they can trust.

Helena $25 per hour for 1 child

Growing up I’ve always cared and loved caring for people. I raised my 2 sisters till they were 18. I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 years old. I also took care of my mom who had dementia. That’s one of the reasons why I became a caregiver. Also I’ve always loved kids. I nanny party for a family that had 3 kids 7,4,2 years of age. Also I nanny sometimes for this other family that has a 6 month old and a 1 year old.

Abigail $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Carlsbad, CA

Hi! My name is Abigail, and I am currently a student at UCLA. I have been babysitting for over four years and have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to middle schoolers. Working with kids is something I genuinely love, and babysitting has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I enjoy getting to know each child's unique personality and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where they can feel comfortable being themselves. Whether that means playing outside, doing crafts, reading stories, helping with homework, baking, or simply keeping little ones entertained, I always try to make our time together engaging and enjoyable. Families often describe me as patient, responsible, caring, and dependable. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their children with someone they trust, and I take that responsibility very seriously. My goal is always to provide attentive care while making sure your children feel supported, safe, and have fun. As a UCLA student, I am organized, hardworking, and able to balance responsibilities well. Most importantly, I truly love spending time with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel valued. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone both you and your children can count on!

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 15 families in Carlsbad, CA

Hi, my name is Jacqueline! I am from San Jose. I went to University of San Francisco to major in Politics and minor in Legal Studies. I also recently finished my Master’s of Public Administration and Public Policy from University of Southern California. I am hoping to pursue law school next so I am currently saving up for that! I have always found a great deal of happiness when taking care of children, so I look forward to spending my free time babysitting. I enjoy interacting with the children (especially seeing how much energy they have) and watching them develop tremendously over time. I am CPR/AED certified[removed]67971) by the American Heart Association. Here is a little background about my experience: In my family, I am one of the oldest cousins so my aunts/uncles always look to me to babysit their kids. Not only have I had experience in babysitting, but also formally engaged in tutoring elementary students for over 5 years and guiding youth - elementary students in youth camps/ science camps. I look forward to simply helping your family out and meeting your kids! Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Jacqueline was fabulous with our son. He had a great time and she took care of him very well.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 82 families in Carlsbad, CA

Hi! My name is Jenna and I'm available for child care! I've recently graduated from USC and am now attending UC Hastings! I have years of experience with children - as I used to nanny in Los Angeles while I was a student - with children anywhere from 1-15 years old as well as with multiple children. I enjoy outdoor activities (running, hiking, snow sports, etc) as well as arts and crafts and fun games! If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me.

Jenna was great, she jumped right in with my 7 and 3.5 year old. She updated me on how the evening was going once they went to bed. I would have Jenna babysit again and would recommend her!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
