Booked by 2 families in Mission Viejo, CA

My background includes lifelong, hands-on caregiving experience. I started babysitting at age 13 and helped raise my younger siblings, who are now teenagers. Through this, I’ve developed a unique relationship with kids—they feel safe with me, and also find me fun and engaging. I’m playful, know how to make kids laugh, and keep them entertained, while also providing structure, support, and emotional safety. I recently lived with my 2- and 4-year-old nieces, so I’m very comfortable with toddlers, routines, and day-to-day childcare needs. I’m patient, attentive, and naturally nurturing, and children tend to connect with me easily. I also have strong experience with pets and household support. I have a 2-year-old mini dachshund who is the center of attention. Overall, I’m dependable, warm, and genuinely enjoy caring for children, pets, and families, creating an environment where everyone feels supported and safe. I also value communication.

“Absolutely amazing. ”

I worked as a full-time nanny for 20 years before having three of my own children. My children are grown and out of the home I’m looking to get back into babysitting occasionally, doula care, pet care, or housesitting. I have several amazing references in the local area of Orange County. I am still friends with many of the families I worked for. I have a masters in teaching and education from Chapman University. I teach pool safety 3mos-18mos. CPR certified. I enjoy art and taking kids on picnics to the parks and outdoor education activities or kids museums. I absolutely love children and animals.

Rachelle 2 reviews
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Rachelle! I offer dependable, engaging childcare and pet care with a strong mix of personal and professional experience. I’ve cared for children of all ages, including hands-on experience with my 11 nieces and nephews (ages 1–15). I currently provide ongoing care for a 13-year-old, including overnight stays when needed, so I’m comfortable with both daytime routines and nighttime responsibilities. My background includes a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and a Master’s in Criminal Justice focused on juvenile development, along with 14 years of service in the U.S. Navy. This has shaped my reliability, structure, and ability to connect with and mentor kids of all ages. I also have training through therapy school, which helps me communicate effectively with children and adolescents. I love incorporating creativity, sports, and music into my time with kids. I grew up playing trumpet, baseball, and softball, and enjoy keeping children active and engaged. In addition to childcare, I have over 25 years of experience caring for pets, including administering medication and supporting animals with special needs. I’m happy to help with occasional or part-time care, including overnights, and always aim to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment for your family.

“After being on UrbanSitter and scouring thru profiles and messaging with several care providers - Rachelle stood out among the pack. Her bio was comprehensive and her experience won me over immediately. Experience in the military with focus on leadership, experience with kids and nephews and nieces, and an obvious passion to make a positive impact. When my whole family met Rachelle for an interview to see if it was the right fit - Rachelle nailed that interaction just by being herself. We hired Rachelle multiple times when needing help with Jase while we traveled. She was prompt, amazing with Jase, and always a delight to work with. Jase always had positive reviews about Rachelle during and after interactions with her. I would recommend Rachelle to other parents. Jase was a teen when we brought Rachelle in - and we couldn’t have been happier!”

Nicole $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Nicole! My family and friends would describe me as a very caring, creative, fun, and person who genuinely loves working with children. Growing up in a large extended family surrounded by little ones, I naturally became someone everyone could reply on for babysitting, helping with homework, and keeping the kids happy, engaged, and definitely entertained! I also had the wonderful opportunity to babysit and tutor my neighbor’s child for a total of twelve years, which allowed me to develop a strong understanding of children’s needs, routines, and different stages of development. I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, encouraged, and excited to learn and grow. I would describe myself as attentive, organized, thoughtful, and always happy to lend an extra helping hand wherever needed. I approach every responsibility with enthusiasm and care. I would absolutely love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust, and your children look forward to spending time with!

"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."

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)."
