Wasinee Merced
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Wasinee. I'm currently in California. I am patient and calm person. I love spending time with kids because they are adorable, funny and energetic. They give me a lot of energy and help me to understand humanity. I just moved to the USA and became a babysitter for about 2 years. I took care of everything about kids ; cooked and prepared meals, did laundry, cleaned, played with them, drove them to park and library and organized all of kids' stuffs. I have experiences with newborn, infant, toddlers, and kids. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care as well.

giya Merced
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Giya, a responsible, energetic babysitter with a passion for both science and child care. I'm currently a biology student with a strong background in caring for children of all ages, including infants and children with disabilities. I understand how to tailor activities and support to meet every child's unique needs while creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I’m certified in First Aid and CPR, so safety is always my top priority. Whether it's helping with homework, imaginative play, or just spending quality time outside, I bring patience, creativity, and a positive attitude to every job. When I’m not studying, I love staying active, I play basketball and tennis, and I’m always up for a game in the yard or at the park. I’d be thrilled to bring that energy into your home and help your little ones stay engaged, happy, and safe. If you're looking for a reliable and caring babysitter who can also help out with bedtime routines, meal prep, or just keeping things running smoothly, I’d love to connect!

Booked by 2 families in Merced, CA

Hey, my name is Alexa :) I am 20 years old and am offering child, elder and most pet care! I enjoy and am passionate about working with kids of all ages, I currently live with my family including my 5 year old niece that I watch frequently. I have been babysitting members of my family since I was 12, including newborns, infants, toddlers and kids. Some of these responsibilities have included changing diapers, making meals/feeding, bathing, potty-training, and entertaining :) Not only am I passionate about babysitting but I also love taking care of the elder, whether that means cooking, cleaning or simply going on a walk!

Although one of my children were awake out of two she did a phenomenal job caring for my 11 month old. My five year-old daughter was asleep throughout the night, but she took wonderful care of my 11 month old baby.

"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
