$20 per hour for 1 child

I am currently a freshman at Long Beach State. I have been babysitting/dog sitting since 2021 and love working with kids! I have experience with taking care of multiple children at a time, running errands, cleaning the house, and taking kids to and from practices/school. I was in sports all my life, so I love playing with kids or helping them train for their sports! I love being active or engaged with the kids I’m watching, whether that’s playing outside, baking, making crafts, playing board games, etc. most of the families I’ve babysat for have multiple dogs, so I am more than happy to take them out on walks and provide good care for them!

Elyse San Juan Capistrano
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Elyse and I have nearly 10 years of experience in early childhood care. I have worked with children from infancy through age 13, including neurodivergent children, and held an au pair position abroad for 11 months. I am kind, patient, and energetic, and I enjoy getting to know the children and families I work with to build meaningful & lasting relationships. I believe these strong connections help create a supportive and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. Additionally, I love animals, being outside (hiking, surfing, biking, etc.), and spending time with loved ones. If you are looking for some help with your little ones or pets, please feel free to reach out! Best, Elyse

Hi there! I’m Summer — it’s so nice to virtually meet you and I’d love the chance to get to know you and your family! 🤍 A little about me: My husband and I have been on a journey to start a family of our own for the past three years. We’ve gone through the full IVF process (what a ride!) and while it hasn’t worked out yet, I absolutely adore kids and can’t wait for the day we have some of our own running around. I have over twenty years of experience with little ones (ages 6mo+), and I’m a big fan of park playdates, naptime routines, and even tackling those stinky diaper situations with a smile 😆 I recently completed a background check, car inspection, medical clearance, and I’m certified in First Aid and child CPR. Bonus: I’m also a Rover-approved dog sitter, so I’m more than happy to help out with your furry family members too! I’m born and raised here in OC and just moved back from LA. I’m looking to fill my schedule and connect with a new family or two! If you’re looking for a kind, reliable, and energetic helping hand — I’d love to chat and see how I can support your family. ❤️ Thanks so much for reading! Summer

"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
