Dolly $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Dolly. I live in Gardena and I’m looking just a part time gigs. I am in the market for childcare, senior care, and household services I have a full time job as an entry writer and a part time working as a barista. I am looking to slowly transition this role out. I grew up in a family of 3 siblings being the oldest, which pretty much meant I had to continuously look after my siblings and take care of them. I also tend to do some babysitting for family members when needed.I am great with kids, pets, and seniors. I can offer assistance as transportation, cooking, cleaning, running errands, and such as needed tasks.

Tatiana 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Downey, CA

Hi, my name is Tatiana and I have a passion for caring for children and supporting families. I've been an aunt from a very young age and have had the joy of helping care for my two nephews (11 and 6 y/o) and niece (1.5 y/o) for many years. I truly treat them as if they were my own, and that experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a safe, loving environment for children. I’m new to this app so I don’t have many reviews, but I would appreciate your trust in me! Professionally, I have experience working in a childcare center where I supported children with special needs, as well as in elementary schools with students from Pre-K through 5th grade. My degree in Child Development has strengthened my understanding of children's growth, learning, and emotional needs. Family is very important to me, and I love building meaningful connections with the children and families I work with. I'm dependable, compassionate, patient, and creative. I enjoy engaging children through crafts, outdoor play, educational activities, reading, and imaginative play while always prioritizing their safety and wellbeing. In addition to childcare, I have experience pet sitting and genuinely love animals. Whether I'm caring for children or pets, I always strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where everyone feels comfortable, cared for, and supported.

Would absolutely recommend Tatiana! She was flexible, communicative and professional. She exceeded expectations and my son loved 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)."
