Benjamin $33 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have a master’s degree in teaching from USC and a degree in psychology from UCI. I have 12+ years working in education in the following roles: certified elementary teacher (taught 5th grade for 4 years), substitute teacher in elementary, middle, and high school, sports coach, and tutor. I can speak and understand some Spanish. I love working with kids, love music, sports, arts, and outdoor activities. Love cats and Spiderman. I’m the oldest of 5 siblings, so leadership and caregiving come naturally to me. I’m usually the one at family parties playing with and teaching the little ones. I have experience baby sitting my own nephew since he was months old (now 5). I attended private schools from 1st grade through high school (attended Loyola High School where I played football and ran track). Outside of my credentials I’m flexible at the moment and willing to take on whatever task you are interested in throwing at me with enthusiasm!

Cosette $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Cosette :) I’m a student at CSULB and I only have classes Monday and Wednesday, so I have a lot of availability the rest of the week. I’m originally from Temecula and I’m looking for a job while I’m in college. I’m in a sorority and involved in community service, so I’m very responsible, dependable, and used to being committed to a schedule. I used to be a nanny for a family with three kids, and I also worked as a head coach at an afterschool elementary program, so I’m great with keeping kids active, engaged, and still on routine. I’m patient, fun, and very safety-focused. I can help with anything! Pickups, homework, meals/snacks, activities, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, laundry, organizing, and errands. I also have 3 puppies that I love spending time with, so I’m super pet-friendly!

They absolutely loved her! Valentina was not only attentive and caring but also came prepared to keep my kids entertained the whole time.

I am an elementary school teacher off for the summer and an expert with kids and pets. I am a mom of two, ages 19 and 16. My son goes to UC Riverside and my daughter is a sophomore. I am currently a 2nd grade teacher but I have experience with all kids. I have two rabbits at my home that are free range in the kitchen so I know how to take care of very delicate animals.

"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)."
