Booked by 5 families in Gardena, CA

Hi, my name is Jacqueline, and I’m a 25-year-old educator currently working as a K/1 Special Education teacher with LAUSD. I have been working with children since I was 16 and bring a wide range of experience supporting children with diverse needs and personalities. My background includes working as a private tutor for two children on the autism spectrum, a long-term nanny for twin boys on the spectrum, a part time nanny for two children, and a behavior therapist/interventionist for six years. Through these roles, I’ve gained hands-on experience with children on the spectrum, infants, twins, and families who prefer limited or no screen time. I also have experience providing overnight care and am comfortable with sleep routines and extended supervision. In addition, I’ve taken children on full-day outings to places like amusement parks, local parks, and the movies, always ensuring they are safe, engaged, and having fun. I am also experienced in picking up and dropping off children at school and extracurricular activities, and I have a reliable vehicle. I hold a degree in Psychology, am CPR certified, fully vaccinated, and am fluent in Spanish. I understand that trusting someone with your child is a big decision. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I strive to support each child’s individual needs while building a positive and trusting relationship with both children and parents. I would love the opportunity to work with your family. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to connecting with you! Thank you for your consideration.

Cameron $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cameron and I'm looking to babysit any age! I have worked with children from 1mo-13 years old. I've been working at an after school program teaching kindergarten for the past 2 years. This job consists of childcare, meals, and teaching all subjects! I absolutely adore kids and love the bonds that get created. I'm looking for a family that would be willing to let me watch their children, but also strengthen their brain with non- screen time activities! I have kittys and dogs at home, so I am more than comfortable taking care of your fur babies too! In 2027 I will be starting my nursing school and I hope to be a labor and delivery or nicu nurse. In the mean time, I'd love to be energetic and help your family out! My rate is 25/hr for 1 child, and for every extra child +5/hr. I look forward to getting in touch, answering your questions, and setting up a meet and greet to see if we fit!

"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)."
