I’m a first-year Environmental Studies major studying at UCR but originally from LA. I have years of childcare experience, caring for children from infants to age 10 since I was ten. I’m American Red Cross Basic Water Rescue certified and have worked with kids across LA County through Girl Scouts and as a YMCA camp counselor. I’m patient, responsible, and energetic. I love planning outdoor activities like picnics, water play, and creative adventures, as well as encouraging a love for reading. I'm also experienced with dogs as I have three little ones of my own. I’m dedicated to creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child in my care.

Hello, wonderful families! My name is Karlene, and I’m a 36-year-old career nanny with 17 years of childcare experience and 11 years of housekeeping expertise. I would love the opportunity to apply for your position! Throughout my career, I’ve cared for children ranging in age from 1 month to 16 years, including preemies, twins, multiple siblings, and nanny shares. I specialize in key developmental milestones such as sleep training, baby-led weaning, and potty training. Childcare has always been my passion, and my journey began when I helped care for my nephew many years ago. Since then, my love for nurturing and supporting children has only grown stronger. In addition to childcare, I bring extensive experience in household management. I have successfully managed homes with up to three stories and over 10 rooms, ensuring everything runs smoothly with little to no supervision. My housekeeping skills include meal preparation for a variety of dietary needs, including vegetarian, kosher, and nut-free meals. I’m also happy to assist with meal prep as needed. I take pride in being active and engaging with children. I love organizing arts and crafts, helping with homework, and supporting after-school activities such as soccer, swimming, baseball, and football. I’m also skilled in handling school pick-ups and drop-offs, preparing lunches, snacks, and dinners, and ensuring children have a fun and structured day. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, baking, hiking, swimming, camping, and staying active with sports. I am CPR/AED certified, giving families peace of mind when it comes to safety. I’m currently seeking a full-time or part-time, long-term position with the right family. If you think we’d be a good match or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and your family! Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Warm regards, Karlene

“Karlene is punctual, observant, and very gentle with our little one. thank you for helping out! ”

Caring for kids and pets is truly my life! I’ve been around them since childhood, helping raise my siblings and gaining over 10 years of experience as a dog groomer. I’m also a mom, trained in first aid for both children and animals, and I absolutely love creating a safe, happy, and loving environment for them. Being around kids and pets is what makes me happiest.

$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hailey!! I have previously worked at preschools and daycares where i’ve had the experience of teaching and setting routines for children. I’ve had experince with newborns as well as ages 3-5. For the newborns we had set routine for their naps, feeding, and a little play time of course! As for the ages of 3-5, We reviewed basic math, science, English, and music skills through games, songs, reading, art projects and workbook practice. I helped with changing diapers, potty training, nap time, and feeding. Worked with children ages 6-12 in an afterschool program, ensuring their safety as they got on and off the bus, helping with homework and providing general supervision.

“Hailey is the best! I’ve known her for many years, and she is truly a blessing to this world. She radiates sunshine and positivity and I’ve seen how that impacts her work with children and animals. She is always trying to come from a place of understanding in order to meet a child or an animal’s needs. She always gives her very best, so you will never need to worry about your little bean while you’re away!”

I like working with kids because it really makes me happy to be a part of their growing up. I'm looking for a job that I can make a difference in a family knowing their child is being well taken care of I started working with kids when when I was about 14 years old babysitting and also helping in my mom's preschool.

"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)."
