I am looking for pet sitting (cats and dogs) hours, dog walking, and date nights job opportunities. I am also looking to teach anyone who wants to learn flute and piano. I am a Long Beach native. I have an excellent driving record and a reliable vehicle that is my own personal car. I enjoy music and have been playing all of my life. I love Angels baseball. I am free to house sit as well for vacations like Thanksgiving, Winter, Spring, and Summer Breaks. I hope you'll consider me for your pet care, date night, and music lesson needs!

I have over 15 years’ experience in Nanny/Babysitting. I adopted my niece and nephew (both at birth) at the age of 19 so I've had a lot of experience with children. I love being able to help parents and know that as a parent it is comforting to be confident that your child is not only being watched but is also having fun and safe. I am that Aunt/nanny, that will be silly and dance and sing if it makes the kids laugh, as long as they are having fun and learning!

Hi my name is Maisha and I have around 4-5 years of paid babysitting experience! I have a lot of experience working with children, both through my job at Skyzone hosting birthday parties and as an assistant teacher at a preschool. I’ve also been taking care of my younger siblings and the children of my relatives and family friends for over 5 years , so I understand how important it is to be responsible,attentive, and to have fun. My responsibilities have included preparing meals, tutoring, arts/crafts, driving to / from school and more tasks. Im more than happy to help out with any household chores and my hours are very flexible so Im happy to work with your schedule. I’m friendly, outgoing, and love working with kids, so I’m excited to help out with babysitting and make sure your children have a fun and safe time! I am first aid-certified, i have my food handlers card, and my drivers license.

“Maisha is wonderful! She's very attentive, reliable, kind, and respectful. I WFH and needed help with my 7-month old daughter, and my daughter was instantly drawn to her. I really love how communicative and engaging she is with my daughter. Maisha is also very knowledgeable and family oriented. We went through several meet and greet with other candidates, and I knew right away Maisha was the one! I'd highly recommend her for kids of all ages. Our assignment was short because we are moving out of state, but we seriously will miss her! ☺️”

Booked by 5 families in La Mirada, CA

Hi! My name is Eloisa, and I’m 25 years old. I’ve been working with children since I was 14 and have experience caring for children ranging from newborns as young as 1 month old to 13 years old. I’m a caring, patient, dependable, and hardworking person who truly enjoys being around children. I love watching kids learn and grow and being there for all the little milestones, whether it’s their first steps, learning to feed themselves, starting school, or simply becoming more independent. I’m comfortable helping with school drop-offs and pick-ups, preparing simple meals, keeping children entertained with age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, and maintaining a safe and positive environment. I enjoy getting creative with activities, playing outside, doing arts and crafts, and making sure children have fun while still following their routines.

Booked by 2 families in La Mirada, CA

Hello I’m glad you’re here! My name is Alexandra. I am 30 years old and a devoted mother and wife. I am fluent in English and Spanish. I began caring for children at the age of 18 and have 7 years of experience outside of my own children I care for. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers and also young children ages 3-6 years old. I am completing my CPR & first aid certification so this can be provided to help ease your mind that your family is safe. I previously worked as a behavioral technician. I have experience working with children with ASD. Here is where I grew my love for the field of psychology and early childhood development. I am a full time mom & student. I attend school in the evenings. I would love to help families get back to things they love doing whether that be self-care, date nights or simply getting things done. You can also be returning to work or working from home. It can be very challenging to manage it all, as a mother / parent I salute you for taking the leap and getting the help you need ! It truly takes a village and I’d be honored to help. I love dogs own two myself ( corgi & pittie ) However I’m great overall with pets no allergies that I’m aware of! Can help feed them if necessary. Some of my hobbies include: reading, writing, arts & crafts and photography! I’m also great at cleaning & organizing, would love to help your family, including light tidying around the house. My focus when working with littles and children is to build that trust and relationship with them so I can help them grow and learn. From fine motor skills, to cognitive development. We will play together, sing dance and learn along the way. All of this can be tailored to your personal needs as a family. I have experience with a wide variety of children and individuals. Potty training ? Diapering ? Nothing new ! I’m here to help. What may work for your family, may not work for others. Each care can be individualized. Not all children are the same, Have a routine ? Im great at adapting to your routine and schedule. I look forward to getting to know you and your family. Thank you for taking a moment to learn a little about me. I’ll see you all very soon !

“Alexandra was very professional, she came and took the time to ask about each of my kids so she knows how to talk to each. Met each of my kids needs and was flexible with schedule, She was able to accommodate. Was able to built trust with my kids within minutes and that felt reassuring to me that they were in great hands. I have worked with Alexandra a few times and will continue to hire her when needed.”

"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)."
