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.

Naomi $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Naomi, and I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I'm the oldest of four siblings, so childcare has always been a natural part of my life. I've also worked at a children's swim school, where I taught kids ages 3-12 in small groups and assisted with parent-and-baby classes for infants and toddlers. I'm patient, attentive, and genuinely love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids. I'm comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, playtime, bedtime routines, and helping children feel calm and supported. I treat every child as if they were my own and always prioritize safety and communication with parents.

My name is Sade, and I have several years of experience caring for children and animals. I took care of my niece from ages 4 to 7 not only but I’ve cared for many more children, ensuring a safe, fun, and structured environment. I grew up with dogs and cats as well, so I’m very comfortable with pets. In addition, I can cook, clean, and handle all the basic household tasks. I’m patient, reliable, and truly enjoy building trust with kids, seniors, and animals. I’m excited to bring my care, organization, and enthusiasm to your family!

Brenda 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Irvine, CA

Hi, I’m Brenda! I’ve spent the last 8 years working with kids in classroom settings, supporting both general education and special education students ages 5–16. I hold a Special Education teaching credential and have 4 years of experience as a special education teacher for 2nd, 3rd, and 9th grades. I have also worked as a nanny and tutor with children ages 1.5 - 12 years old. Working closely with children of different abilities has taught me patience, creativity, and how to meet kids where they are. I offer babysitting, tutoring, house sitting, cooking, pet sitting, and elderly care. I genuinely love spending time with children—whether that’s helping with homework, baking together, heading to the park or museum, or cheering them on at sports practice. I also enjoy swimming, running, and staying active, which helps me keep up with energetic kids. I’m reliable, caring, and hands-on, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel confident.

Brenda was beyond expectations in helping with rides, household tasks and cooking. Dependable, kind and a easy to work with. Would definitely recommend!

"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)."
