Anastasiia $25 per hour for 1 child

Professional Caregiver & Nanny | Newborns to Toddlers Hello! My name is Anastasiia, and I am a dedicated caregiver with a deep passion for working with the youngest ones. I specialize in caring for children during their most crucial developmental stages—from newborns (day one) up to two years old. I find immense joy in providing a safe, nurturing, and calm environment where your little ones can thrive and meet their first milestones. What I Offer: • Specialized Infant & Toddler Care: I have extensive experience with the routines, safety needs, and gentle care required for babies and toddlers. • Older Children: I am also happy to care for older children! While I am a confident communicator and can handle all daily interactions, please note that my English is currently at a conversational level. I can easily manage schedules, play, and safety, though I am not yet able to provide academic tutoring or complex educational instruction in English. • Pet-Friendly: I absolutely love animals! I am very comfortable working in homes with dogs and cats, and I am happy to help with their needs as well. • Reliable & Compassionate: I treat every home I work in with the utmost respect and every child as if they were my own family. I am a responsible, patient, and attentive person looking to help a wonderful family in the Orange County area. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones (and your furry friends too!).

Johanna $22 per hour for 1 child

I bring over a year of experience in babysitting, complemented by a degree in Sociology. For the past six years, I’ve worked as an after-school teacher, where I specialized in providing homework support, maintaining a well-managed classroom environment, and—most importantly—building strong, positive relationships with children. Currently, I am in my second year of nursing school, which has further strengthened my sense of responsibility, patience, and ability to remain calm and attentive in different situations. I truly enjoy working with children and would love the opportunity to bring my experience, reliability, and caring personality to your family. I would be happy to provide references and answer any questions you may have. Thank you for considering me!

Kareen $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Kareen, and as a mother myself, I understand that nothing is more important than the safety and happiness of your children. I’ve spent years caring for my son and helping out families in my neighborhood, and I truly love what I do. I am an active, hands-on caregiver who prefers to be "in the mix" rather than on the sidelines. Whether we are playing outside, mastering a new card game, or spending a rainy afternoon baking in the kitchen, I aim to make every day fun and engaging. What I bring to your home: I am CPR/AED certified and have extensive experience managing severe nut allergies, so I am always hyper-vigilant about food safety. I’m happy to assist with meal prep, grocery shopping, school pickups, and getting the kids to dance or sports practice. I am a lifelong animal lover! I’ve raised everything from hamsters to a Macaw, so your furry (or feathered) friends will be in great hands. I also have a heart for senior companionship and am happy to assist with errands or check-ins for elderly family members. I look forward to meeting 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)."
