Booked by 17 families in Cerritos, CA

I am looking for pet sitting (cats and dogs) hours, dog walking, and date nights job opportunities. I am also looking to teach anyone who wants to learn flute and piano. I am a Long Beach native. I have an excellent driving record and a reliable vehicle that is my own personal car. I enjoy music and have been playing all of my life. I love Angels baseball. I am free to house sit as well for vacations like Thanksgiving, Winter, Spring, and Summer Breaks. I hope you'll consider me for your pet care, date night, and music lesson needs!

Megan was amazing! She was very creative and kept my toddler entertained and very happy under her care. Highly recommended!

Hi my name is Maisha and I have around 4-5 years of paid babysitting experience! I have a lot of experience working with children, both through my job at Skyzone hosting birthday parties and as an assistant teacher at a preschool. I’ve also been taking care of my younger siblings and the children of my relatives and family friends for over 5 years , so I understand how important it is to be responsible,attentive, and to have fun. My responsibilities have included preparing meals, tutoring, arts/crafts, driving to / from school and more tasks. Im more than happy to help out with any household chores and my hours are very flexible so Im happy to work with your schedule. I’m friendly, outgoing, and love working with kids, so I’m excited to help out with babysitting and make sure your children have a fun and safe time! I am first aid-certified, i have my food handlers card, and my drivers license.

Maisha is wonderful! She's very attentive, reliable, kind, and respectful. I WFH and needed help with my 7-month old daughter, and my daughter was instantly drawn to her. I really love how communicative and engaging she is with my daughter. Maisha is also very knowledgeable and family oriented. We went through several meet and greet with other candidates, and I knew right away Maisha was the one! I'd highly recommend her for kids of all ages. Our assignment was short because we are moving out of state, but we seriously will miss her! ☺️

Booked by 1 family in Cerritos, CA

Hi, I’m Dominique! 👋 I’m a 23-year-old UCLA graduate with a genuine love for working with kids. Whether it’s keeping up with energetic toddlers or helping older kids with homework after school, I bring patience, warmth, and a lot of enthusiasm to every sit. I have experience with children ages 1–10 and especially enjoy the toddler and elementary years. There’s nothing better than watching kids learn and grow. As a college grad, I’m also happy to help with reading, basic math, or any homework your little one brings home. Parents can count on me to be attentive, communicative, and always put safety first. I treat every child in my care the way I’d want my own family to be treated; with kindness, structure, and plenty of fun. I’d love to meet your family! 😊 (I do drive as well)

Booked by 2 families in Cerritos, CA

Hi! My name is Andrea, and I have worked with kids for a little over 6 years now. I started babysitting kids in my family and realized that I loved being a positive change in a child's life. I truly found a passion for caring for them, playing and interacting with them, making their meals, and assisting them with school assignments. Since 2021, I've been consistently working as a part-time nanny for different families, and as of 2022, I've been an after-school program teacher for kindergartners all the way to fifth graders. I love interacting with kids of all different ages and making their days brighter as much as they make mine. I am also aware of the different schedules that I get handed from different families and am very well with carefully follow parental instructions regarding schedules, chores, discipline, and free time. I'm looking forward to meeting new families and to growing great connections.

Andrea was amazing and sweet. Helped with house stuff and was great with my 3 month old. Would hire her again!

"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."

"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)."
