Booked by 2 families in Hawthorne, CA

Hi! My name is Xochitl, but I go by Flower. I’m a current senior at UC Riverside majoring in Early Childhood Education. I offer childcare, senior care, and pet care, with most of my experience and passion being in childcare. I’ve been working with children since I was 16 and have experience caring for children of all ages, especially infants. My experience includes UrbanSitter, internships, working at an early childhood center, and working as an ABA with children on the autism spectrum. These experiences have helped me develop strong childcare skills. I am comfortable working with different ages, routines, and needs. I’m also available for school pickups and drop-offs, in-home services, and schedule changes when needed. I am CPR certified and can provide references upon request. I’m dependable, caring, and passionate about working with children, and I’d love the opportunity to help your family! :)

Megan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Megan - I was born and raised in Torrance, CA. I am an online college student and I truly enjoy caring for children! I have 4 siblings (all older brothers) and my family owned a large preschool up until very recent so I grew up around a lot of kids! I have worked for several families taking care of kids from ages 6 months to 12 years old. I would describe my personality as caring, thoughtful and loving. I like working with kids because it really makes me happy to be a part of their growing up. I'm looking for a job that I can make a difference in a family knowing their child is being well taken care of I started working with kids when when I was about 14 years old babysitting and also helping in my mom's preschool. In my spare time, I like to go to the gym, go to the beach and visit with family and friends. One thing you should know about me is that I am a very loving person who truly enjoys life. I am very family oriented and enjoy every day to the fullest. My skills include being patient, fun and caring.

Laura $35 per hour for 1 child

Child at Heart ♡ I have been caring for children since I was a young girl and it brings me such joy. Which is why I have done everything from babysitting/nanny to coaching a Special Olympics team, to teaching Art Therapy at the Ronald McDonald House, to teaching swimming, photography, and English to kids, in the US and abroad. I do have my certification for AED, Adult, Child, Infant CPR & AED Training, valid until 03/20/28 and a safe SUV for driving infants to teens. For me the joy is finding what excites each child - and then creating an opportunity for play and learning, whatever the age. Currently (and always!) I am writing a children's book series and want to spend more time with kids. All ages are a fun and creative exploration for me too - always working to find new ways to keep them safe, happy and curious! Teaching for me includes: being in nature, long walks outside, reading, writing, cooking, drawing, games, crafting or building robots, play, music, sport, meditation, kindness, ART, making videos, taking pictures, swimming, yoga, and so much more! Unique: I enjoy exposing young learners to new languages (even infants) including Chinese, Japanese and French. In addition, I do have a small service dog that kids love to play with, read to and cuddle with. She also loves giving hugs!

"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)."
