Dana 2 reviews
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Dana and I’m currently a college student attending cypress college! I absolutely love working with children of all ages, and I’ve been a Girls Scout leader working with young girls and part time with the Boyscouts, for around 4 years now. I’ve been able to deal with children of all ages including seniors in highschool, no child is ever too “hard” to handle, I’ve dealt with every mood swing and every difficult situation you can think of, which has honestly made me a better person and better leader for them as well. I’ve worked with children with severe autism, I’ve worked with blind children, children with disabilities, + Being around children as they grow and learn more about their own personalities and their emotions, has been such an amazing experience to be able to guide them and be someone they could look up to and lean on for advice! please feel free to ask me any questions, and we’ll see if it’s a good fit for you and I!

Dana’s professionalism and childcare experience are undeniable. She’s great with kids of all ages and is very caring and gentle with children. Highly recommend to book with her!

Elizabeth $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Liz! I have a bachelor’s degree from UCLA, and I’m currently in the process of applying to graduate school for Clinical Psychology. I’ve always enjoyed being in supportive roles, whether that’s caring for kids, being there for older family members, or taking care of pets. Over the years, I’ve spent time caring for children of different ages in both personal and work settings. I have several years of nannying and babysitting experience and for the past decade, I’ve worked in the entertainment industry as a talent manager, supporting young clients and their families. I also recently helped care for my grandfather during his battle with end stage Alzheimer’s, which really shaped how I think about patience and being present. Animals have always been part of my life. I grew up with both cats and dogs and still pet sit and house sit for friends and neighbors whenever they need a hand. I’m calm, dependable, and genuinely enjoy being helpful wherever I can, whether that means spending time with little ones, supporting seniors, keeping a household running smoothly, or making sure pets are well cared for.

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!

Hi families! I’m a caring and reliable nanny with over 5 years of experience working with children of all ages. My background includes Behavior Therapy (ABA), nannying, and coaching kids’ soccer, so I love creating fun, engaging, and structured environments where children can learn and feel happy. I’m patient, energetic, and creative, and I truly enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and parents. I’m also organized, attentive, and happy to help with daily routines, activities, and light household support. I’m a big animal lover too, so pets are always welcome!

Sonia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sonia. I’ve been a nanny for nearly a decade and have cared for both children and adults, including an adult on the autism spectrum. I’m based in the Orange County area and open to live-in nanny positions if needed. I’m certified in Adult and Child CPR and First Aid. I love dance and know a bit about nutrition, so I enjoy helping kids stay active and healthy. I can assist with household tasks such as light cooking, laundry, cleaning, and organizing. Errands and driving for drop-offs/pick-ups are not part of what I offer. Families describe me as calm, dependable, and caring and I do my best to create a safe, positive environment where everyone feels supported.

"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

"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)."
