Booked by 40 families in Harbor City, CA

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!”

Booked by 7 families in Harbor City, CA

Hello! My name is Jaylee and I’m 26 years old. I was born and raised in Long Beach, CA. I am the eldest of four siblings and have always taken on the responsibility of watching over my younger siblings. I have 4 years of experience babysitting for all ages. I am a teacher for Long Beach Unified School District and I earned my Master’s degree in Education. In addition, I worked for ACES, which is an autism treatment center, so I have experience working with kiddos that have special needs. Since I teach full time, I’m hoping to assist with one time services and/or I have flexibility with available hours needed in the evenings and during the summer. I am comfortable with pets, as I have a cat and dog of my own. I can cook, clean, help with school work and follow a schedule efficiently. CPR/First Aid certified for both pediatrics and adults. I understand how busy we all can get, and I would love to help out. :)

Booked by 135 families in Harbor City, CA

Hi! My name is Grace! I am a behavioral therapist. Working with children is my passion. My passion developed when I ironically was a child myself. It all started on November 12, 1998, the day I finally became a big sister. I was always the youngest of my four sisters and one brother. When I became a big sister, I loved it. I always wanted to help, play with, provide for, and keep my younger brother and younger sister safe. That became something that stuck with me and blossomed beyond my big sister duties. My love for working with children got deeper and more loving. I started babysitting for family and then neighbors. I worked for an after school program and eventually became a preschool teacher. My current job doesn't even feel like work. That's how much I love working with children. Also, I have a car and I'm more than willing to drive kids around! Not a problem at all!

"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)."
