Sana $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sana. I currently offer help with childcare, senior companionship, pet care (including walking), and basic household help such as dishes, tidying, and light cleaning. I can also bring my own basic cleaning supplies. I’m a Psychological Science student at UCI and will be graduating this spring. I work part-time as a Mental Health Technician in Newport Beach and am also involved in research at UCI as a research assistant in a psychological science department lab. I have about three years of experience working with children as an ABA therapist and I am RBT certified. I’ve worked with children across a range of ages and helped with homework, played board games, and structured activities, and supported skill-building through positive reinforcement. I also worked as a full time nanny for one year. I also completed a CNA training program, passed my national exam, and gained experience working with elderly residents during my clinical placement in a nursing home. I love animals and am comfortable helping with pets including walking and feeding.

Belen $20 per hour for 1 child

Providing nurturing care to children is essential, and it’s at the heart of the work I love to do. I’m patient, calm, and dedicated caregiver with years of experience supporting children in different stages of their development—from infants and toddlers to school-age kids. My approach is warm, attentive, and supportive, and I always strive to meet each child’s unique needs. I’m fully trained in First Aid and CPR, which allows me to respond confidently and responsibly in any situation. Safety is always my highest priority, and I’m mindful about creating an environment where children feel secure, understood, and encouraged to explore and grow. To help lighten your daily load, I’m also willing to assist with light housekeeping tasks such as tidying play areas, washing dishes, or helping with laundry. I believe a well-organized space helps create a calmer environment for both kids and parents. Above all, I’m excited to build a trusting relationship with your family. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where your child feels valued, supported, and free to be themselves. I look forward to getting to know you and being a positive part of your child’s day-to-day life.

Hello I have been caring for children for over 10 years. I have extensive experience with children of all ages, especially with infants and toddlers. I studied child development and early childhood education in college and am passionate about my work. I'm patient, calm, and love to have fun with kids. I like taking them outside, exploring in nature, playing with water, going for walks, playing pretend, reading books, games/puzzles, building with legos & doing arts/crafts.

Mackenzie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Mackenzie . I am very well interested in helping your family out, I love animals and kids. I am 31 years old and currently a stay at home mom with 2 month old baby boy and my daughter is in kindergarten. I’m looking to help another family out so I can stay home with my baby and be there for my daughters first years of school. I was a preschool teacher the last 12 years but because of changing schedules it won’t accommodate which is why I’m leaning on babysitting or nannying. I will most likely have my 2 month old with me and part time my 5 year old daughter but I would also like them to socialize with other kids as well. I am cpr first aid certified, having my units in child development for a certified teacher. I can transport your child to extra curricular activities, pick up child from school , take them to the park, wherever the help is needed I’m there for you.

"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)."
