Hi! My name is Rosa, I am attending Cerritos College. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 years old family members, close friends and relatives; different ages and even twins. . I also have my CPR/First Aid Pediatric for adults/children; I also have my certificate for child development. I’ve been a preschool teacher for 6 years already and I couldn’t be any happier with my dream job. I love teaching and watch them get excited of their accomplishments for example help with fine-motor skills,tracing,numbers, colors etc. I can help children and elderly; and also fur babies by going for a walk and play with him/her. I am going to start my full time job soon, but feel free for part times, occasional, if you really need me just send me a DM and we can work something out, don’t hesitate I am very open minded and we can definitely fine a way to work and help out with your kiddos, Seniors, and dogs.

Rosa was great with my two little ones! 2 under 2 is definitely a challenge and she handled them well! Would hire her again.

Hi parents! My name is Lilly. I have 6 years of experience working at an elementary school after school program. 2 years of experience working as an instructional assistant for students with learning disabilities. With my after school job I have learned homework assistance, tinkering activities, outside creative play, and etc. I have had a class as low as kindergarten level and currently have upper grade. With my years of babysitting I have learned new skills and still so excited to implement what I have learned with new minds. With these experiences I am very patient, caring, responsible, and reliable. I have a heart of gold that I love to share with others. I hope you’d consider me. I always do my best to be the best babysitter there is! Thank you!!

Lilly is a wonderful babysitter!

Torrance
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Gardena, CA

Hello! I’m a high-profile Nanny who recently relocated to Wid-City area. I hold an AA degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences, plus certificates in Early Childhood Education and an Associate Teacher’s Permit from UCLA Extension. Working with children has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I started babysitting at 15, and over the past 30+ years, I’ve cared for children of all ages—in homes, schools, and even for military families while parents were deployed. As a former licensed family childcare provider and Early Childhood Educator, I’ve managed groups of up to 20 children and am comfortable supporting kids with developmental disabilities and behavioral challenges. I bring a lot of energy and creativity to my work. Storytelling is one of my favorite ways to connect with children—I’m animated, expressive, and love sparking their imagination. I also enjoy teaching fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination through hands-on learning, creative play, and arts projects like jewelry making. My goal is always to make learning fun while building confidence and curiosity. I love pets, but am extremely allergic to cats, rabbits (EpiPen).

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
