$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Fountain Valley, 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! ”

Keira $25 per hour for 1 child

Aloha! 🌺 Born and raised in Hawaii, I bring positive energy, patience, and a love for the outdoors to every family I work with. I've been babysitting for over 1.5 years and have experience as a live-in nanny, helping with school drop-offs and pickups, meal prep, diaper changes, playtime, and outdoor adventures. I've also provided consistent care for an 86-year-old senior, assisting with daily household tasks, meal preparation, and creating a comfortable, supportive environment. As a lifelong animal lover with years of pet care experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all kinds and understand the importance of treating them like family. Families can count on me to be dependable, trustworthy, patient, and attentive. I'm highly communicative, organized, safety-conscious, and adaptable to each family's unique needs and routines. Whether we're exploring outside, getting creative with games and activities, helping with homework, or caring for furry friends, my goal is always to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel supported and parents feel confident knowing their loved ones are in good hands.

McKenna $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is McKenna, I have 4 years of babysitting experience with children of all ages. I currently work at a Child Therapy Center supporting children with developmental delays, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience working with kids of different needs and ages. I'm a college student, so babysitting is something I enjoy doing as a side job while putting myself through school. Families I work with often describe me as patient, responsible, and very dependable. I'm CPR, First Aid, and Water Safety certified, have my own reliable transportation, and love creating a safe, fun environment where kids can learn and enjoy themselves. I'm happy to help with homework, light housekeeping, carpooling, and pets if needed. I truly enjoy working with children and would love the opportunity to support your family.

Hira $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hira, and caring for children has been a big part of my life for over 12 years. I’ve worked both part-time and full-time as a nanny while also balancing roles in nonprofit management and the corporate world. I also bring over two years of teaching experience. I truly love being around children—whether it’s spending time with my nieces and nephews, my friends’ little ones, or the amazing families I’ve cared for over the years. One of my most meaningful jobs was as a Wish Manager at Make-A-Wish Foundation, where I had the honor of helping children and families during challenging times and making their wishes come true. I recently moved from Texas to Anaheim, and I’m excited to connect with new families. I value creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where children feel loved, supported, and encouraged to grow. Outside of childcare, I enjoy practicing yoga, spending time with loved ones, and exploring new hobbies. I’m also a huge animal lover—especially cats! I’d love the chance to connect with you and see if I might be a good fit for your family. Please feel free to call or message me anytime. Warmly, Hira

"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)."
