Booked by 1 family in La Palma, CA

Hi! I’m a warm, responsible caregiver based in Orange County, currently finishing my bachelor’s degree in psychology. This background helps me understand kids’ development and needs, from infants to teens. I have experience caring for children across a wide age range—from 6 months to 18 years old—and I’m comfortable with feeding, nap routines, playtime, homework help, and bedtime routines. My goal is to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where kids can explore, learn, and have fun.If you’d like to learn more about my experience or schedule a meet-and-greet, I’d love to hear about your family’s needs and how I can help.

Berenice is communicative, punctual, and reliable. We love her for cat sitting when we are out of town!

Booked by 14 families in La Palma, CA

Hi! My name is Brianna. I’m 25 years old and a master’s student at University of La Verne studying child development to become a child life specialist. I’ve been babysitting for 10 years and working as a professional nanny for 7 years. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from newborns to preteens. I have a passion for working with kids and helping them learn and grow. I most recently nannied for a baby who I watched from the age of 4 months to 11 months. Before that, I watched twins from the age of 11 months until they were 2.5 years old. If you’re interested, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Brianna was amazing and very easy going!

Booked by 7 families in La Palma, CA

Hello! My name is Jaylee and I’m 26 years old. I was born and raised in Long Beach, CA. I am the eldest of four siblings and have always taken on the responsibility of watching over my younger siblings. I have 4 years of experience babysitting for all ages. I am a teacher for Long Beach Unified School District and I earned my Master’s degree in Education. In addition, I worked for ACES, which is an autism treatment center, so I have experience working with kiddos that have special needs. Since I teach full time, I’m hoping to assist with one time services and/or I have flexibility with available hours needed in the evenings and during the summer. I am comfortable with pets, as I have a cat and dog of my own. I can cook, clean, help with school work and follow a schedule efficiently. CPR/First Aid certified for both pediatrics and adults. I understand how busy we all can get, and I would love to help out. :)

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
