Booked by 1 family in Fountain Valley, CA

Hi, I’m Hailey! I have a background of caring for a couple neighborhood families & family friends’ children, let me know if you need a reference at any time! Additionally, I am very comfortable around dogs/cats, have grown up with them my whole life, and would love to care for them if that is the care you are looking for instead! Just in case you would like some additional peace of mind, I currently am and have been BLS CPR certified for the last two years and am currently pursuing a nursing career to hopefully work in the Neonatal ICU in the near future! I’d love to give my full attention and care for up to 2-3 children. If needed, I do have my own transportation and wouldn’t mind going to the library or park. Please reach out for any concerns or questions!

Hello everyone, my name is Abril (24yr old) and I currently go to Orange Coast College. I have my drivers license and valid insurance. I’ve worked with kids (I’ve babysat my sister my sister since she was 9 years old, and we have a 6 year age difference & I babysit my 10 month old niece all the time) and I also worked at a senior living home for 2 years (memory care included). I can cook some meals (mainly Mexican) and help with errands and some household things. I love going to the beach and journaling, I love my cat and family, and I love art and baking!

Abril is AMAZING. She was on time. So sweet and patient. My girls loved her. She was flexible with time. And even stayed late for us. We would absolutely recommend her. 100%

Tracy $25 per hour for 1 child

Well hello lovelies! My name is Tracy and I am looking for a really wonderful family that is looking for a "partner" in their nanny. Over 20 years of experience of both long and short term care. Experienced with newborns, toddlers, multiples, older children and everything in between!! I consider myself your "right arm" and take my job seriously. It's all about connecting and engaging with your child. Knowing how to navigate big emotions and finding fun activities to redirect helps kids learn how to self soothe! I love to read, be outdoors and find play time activities that make everyone's heart sing. Clean background check, resume, CPR/First Aid Certified, clean DMV with excellent references!

I am currently a second year in college. I am getting a degree in special education to become an elementary school special education teacher. I am the oldest out of 10 cousins so I have a lot of experience with babysitting. I am from Huntington Beach, California. I have been doing softball lessons with kids ages 6-15 for about 5 years now and I love it! It’s so much fun to work with the kids and see them grow as a person and in the sport. I also volunteered at a local church and worked in the nursery and the toddler room. I am a huge family person and I will always be. I know American Sign Language but I am not fully fluent.

"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)."
