Joy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello I'm a dependable caregiver with 15+ years of experience supporting children of all ages through roles at the YMCA, Disney Cruise Line, UCI, and in EdTech. I’ve led before- and after-school programs, camps, and family services, consistently bringing structure, creativity, and care to each setting. I recently completed a 4-year role as a part-time nanny for a family and am now available for weekday and select weekend care in the Long Beach area. I love engaging children through hands-on, screen-free activities like arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, music, and reading. I focus on creating calm, safe environments where kids feel supported and excited to learn. Whether caring for an infant, guiding a toddler through daily routines, or supporting a school-aged child with homework and social-emotional development, I tailor my approach to each child’s needs. I’m happy to assist with school drop-offs, pick-ups, light meals, homework, and pet care. I prioritize open communication and build strong, trusting relationships with every family. If you're looking for a calm, reliable caregiver who’s truly invested in your child’s well-being, I’d love to connect!

Booked by 1 family in Cerritos, CA

Hi! I’m a caring, dependable, and energetic person who genuinely loves spending time with kids! 💛 I have an education in Child Development and experience working with children in my community and around the world, including children’s homes in India and Africa. These experiences have taught me how important it is to make every child feel safe, valued, and understood. I love getting to know each child’s personality and finding ways to make our time together fun, whether we’re playing, crafting, reading, exploring, or just being silly! 😊 My goal is for your kids to feel happy and cared for while you have peace of mind.

Booked by 6 families in Cerritos, CA

Hello there parents of LA and OC! I am Isis, I have been a professional babysitter/nanny for seven years now. Throughout the years I have learned so much about children and babies! I have taken care of as young as a three week old baby to Young teens. My greatest qualities as a babysitter/ nanny is that l am super playful with a good imagination coming up with arts and crafts, activities and games. I am always on the go whether it's going to the park or to the library. Things always come up on the road such as traffic, accidents, and inconvenience but l'm always on time for my families.To conclude I am always there for the kids that I care for and love and care for them as if they were my own. I'm always loving, kind and patient. I hope to hear from you soon and can't wait to meet you and your family. Best Regards, Isis

Cosette $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Cosette :) I’m a student at CSULB and I only have classes Monday and Wednesday, so I have a lot of availability the rest of the week. I’m originally from Temecula and I’m looking for a job while I’m in college. I’m in a sorority and involved in community service, so I’m very responsible, dependable, and used to being committed to a schedule. I used to be a nanny for a family with three kids, and I also worked as a head coach at an afterschool elementary program, so I’m great with keeping kids active, engaged, and still on routine. I’m patient, fun, and very safety-focused. I can help with anything! Pickups, homework, meals/snacks, activities, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, laundry, organizing, and errands. I also have 3 puppies that I love spending time with, so I’m super pet-friendly!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
