Belen $20 per hour for 1 child

Providing nurturing care to children is essential, and it’s at the heart of the work I love to do. I’m patient, calm, and dedicated caregiver with years of experience supporting children in different stages of their development—from infants and toddlers to school-age kids. My approach is warm, attentive, and supportive, and I always strive to meet each child’s unique needs. I’m fully trained in First Aid and CPR, which allows me to respond confidently and responsibly in any situation. Safety is always my highest priority, and I’m mindful about creating an environment where children feel secure, understood, and encouraged to explore and grow. To help lighten your daily load, I’m also willing to assist with light housekeeping tasks such as tidying play areas, washing dishes, or helping with laundry. I believe a well-organized space helps create a calmer environment for both kids and parents. Above all, I’m excited to build a trusting relationship with your family. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where your child feels valued, supported, and free to be themselves. I look forward to getting to know you and being a positive part of your child’s day-to-day life.

Juliahna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Juliahna. I'm a 19-year-old college student studying in Speech Language Pathology. I have experience working with 2-year-olds in childcare. As well as toddlers, preschool age, and elementary. I'm super patient, energetic, and love creating fun and engaging activities. I would love to bring some fun and care to your little one's day! I also have experience working with dogs as I’ve had dogs since I was born. I currently have an 8 month old cane corso whom I have trained to sit, lay down, spin, and wait until given permission to eat his meal. I’m open to doing housework I’ve worked in fast food places where we had to detail clean.

Bailie $28 per hour for 1 child

I’m a very reliable, patient, and attentive caregiver with a calm, positive energy. I’m recently engaged (getting married this October!) and spent the last 5 years living in Corona del Mar before moving to Eastside Costa Mesa. I’ve worked with kids of all ages and am comfortable helping with the day-to-day—meals, naps, homework, and keeping them entertained with creative play or getting outside. I’ve volunteered at Mariners Church with infants, TK, and early elementary kids, and I also coached swim for ages 10–18, so I’m used to a wide range of personalities and energy levels. My nephew is 6 months old, so I definitely have a soft spot for infants and am very attentive to their routines, from feedings and naps to just creating a calm, comforting environment. I’m naturally patient and organized, and I really try to create a space where kids feel safe, relaxed, and happy. I’m also more than happy to help with light household tasks or pets. Overall, I’m someone families can count on to be dependable, communicative, and easy to have around.

“We hired Sandra to take care of our 5 day old foster newborn baby. She had flexibility and excellent care! We have had her for almost 6 weeks and she has been a lifesaver when we needed her! She had been super flexible and had gone over and beyond! She has done extra work with laundry, washing bottles, bringing diapers, bringing baby dish soap & so much more! She would make a great addition to any family. My husband travels and his schedule is so sporadic and her flexibility has saved us! Since it’s foster care, I didn’t get a chance to take anytime off so having her has helped immensely. 2 social workers have come weekly and have seen her handle the baby with care and see the love she gives her. Also, as a child therapist, it’s hard for me to leave my children with anyone- I 110% trust her with both my kiddos! ”

Solanah $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Solanah, and I studied Psychology at UC Santa Cruz. I’ve always been fascinated by what shapes the way we think, feel, and behave, and I bring that understanding into the way I care for others. I believe children are deeply influenced by the people and world around them, so they deserve someone who is attentive, patient, and genuinely caring. I try to meet children with curiosity, compassion, and grace while giving them space to feel safe, understood, and completely themselves. I love learning about each child’s unique personality and creating little moments where they feel seen, supported, and encouraged.

"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)."
