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.

Susan $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello. I have many years of experience as I have been a sitter on and off since I was in middle school. I have twin nieces who are 5 who I have been sitting since they were preemies, along with my nephew who is 2. I have two children, ages 18 and 11, which has also given me invaluable experience. I absolutely adore babies! I also love supporting young minds to learn and grow through play and constructive activities. I am kind, patient, and make any child who I spend time around feel heard, loved, and supported. I currently work a full-time government job. However, I would like to get back to what I love, which is being outside of an office and supporting/building community. Spending my days with a little one would not feel like work at all, and I greatly look forward to the opportunity! Thank you for your time.

Alexis $28 per hour for 1 child

I have several years of experience working with children, including 3 years working at a preschool with children ages 1–4, as well as experience babysitting. Through my work, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily routines, playtime, meals, nap time, potty training, and helping children learn and develop in a safe and nurturing environment. I’m patient, caring, responsible, and dependable. I understand that every child is different, so I always try to create a comfortable environment where they feel heard, supported, and encouraged. I’m also very hands-on and enjoy coming up with fun activities, crafts, games, and age-appropriate ways to keep children engaged. I’m comfortable helping with everyday household tasks related to childcare as well, such as preparing simple meals, cleaning up after activities, and keeping play areas organized. My experience working in a preschool has taught me how to stay calm, attentive, and organized while caring for multiple children, and I genuinely love being around kids and watching them grow.

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!

Cleonix $27 per hour for 1 child

I am a 26 year old South Bay resident passionate about childcare and my local community! I’ve always been proud to be the person families call when they need someone they can count on- especially when life gets busy, unpredictable, or just a little chaotic. I’m confident and comfortable caring for children as young as six months all the way up to teens. I aim to always bring a calm, positive presence to the home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone- and I fully show up for that responsibility. I’m dependable, always on time, and genuinely care about becoming a supportive part of your family’s day-to-day. I am also experienced and comfortable with working alongside parents who are at home while I provide care. I know how helpful it can be to have a second set of hands to care for your children! At the same time, I bring warmth, fun, and creativity to the time I spend with kids. I focus on age-appropriate play that encourages imagination, independence, and confidence. Whether it’s storytelling, art, make-believe games, or getting outside for movement and fresh air, I love helping kids stay curious, joyful, and engaged. I know that these early years are so important to set them up to be the best adult versions of themselves one day. I also have a creative background- I earned my degree in Communications from UC Santa Barbara and have worked as a freelance photographer and creative communicator. That side of me comes out naturally when I’m with kids, whether it’s through art projects or fun crafts or story time. I know how much it means to find someone who fits seamlessly into your world and makes life feel a little easier- and I’d love to help your family!

"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)."
