Booked by 1 family in Orange, CA

Hi! I'm Mia, a patient, attentive, caring, and dependable person with reliable transportation. I’m offering child care, pet care, senior services, and household services! I have experience babysitting younger children in my family as young as 10 months old. I truly enjoy keeping kids engaged, safe, and happy while also following their routine. I have lots of experience cooking for family as well and meal prepping. I also love animals! I have dog-sat plenty of times, and l'm a dog owner myself of 2 bichon poos, though I am open to any size of animal. I have experience of owning a cat as well. A little fun fact about me is I was a dancer for 4 years, so a lot of my leadership skills and responsibility comes from my experience being in dance. I am a very reliable person including when it comes to being able to run errands and provide transportation. You can count on me ! :)

“Mia was professional, courteous, dependable and respectful. She handled every task with patience and with a positive attitude. My child felt supported and comfortable around her.”

Booked by 4 families in Orange, CA

Hi, my name is Jocelyn. I’m 43 years old and a single mom of three, with many years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, seniors, and pets. I’m gentle, patient, kind, and have a good sense of humor (or at least I like to think so 😊). I truly enjoy spending time with seniors—listening to their stories, learning from their wisdom, and offering companionship and support. I also have extensive experience caring for children at every stage, from infants to teens. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines, light household tasks, errands, reading, playtime, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I also have experience with pets. I am allergic to cats, but I am willing to take allergy medication if needed. I take pride in being dependable, nurturing, and respectful, and I aim to create a safe, calm, and positive environment for those I care for. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my bio!

“Jocelyn was very professional and approachable. She was a tad late to the scheduled time, but we booked her very last minute! Communication was impeccable. Would 10/10 recommend!”

“Dear Perspective Family, It is with deep gratitude and complete confidence that we recommend Deb Scribner as an exceptional nanny and caregiver. Deb has been with our family since August 2022, and quite simply, she has been one of the most impactful people in our lives during this season. As a household with two working parents—both operating full-time in corporate roles from home—our days are fast-paced, demanding, and often overlapping between meetings, deadlines, and the needs of a growing child. Navigating that dynamic requires not just childcare, but a true partner in the home. Deb has been exactly that. From the very beginning, Deb has provided outstanding care for our son. She is reliable, consistent, and incredibly thoughtful in how she approaches each day. Beyond meeting his basic needs, she has actively contributed to his growth and development—supporting his preschool homeschooling journey and teaching him foundational skills that will serve him for years to come. Her ability to balance structure, creativity, and warmth has made a lasting impression on him. What sets Deb apart is the way she seamlessly integrates into the rhythm of family life. She is proactive in coordinating schedules and planning ahead—whether it’s helping us prepare for vacations or ensuring continuity during busy work seasons. She has also gone well beyond traditional nanny responsibilities, caring for our home in ways that have brought us immense peace of mind—from tending to our garden and chickens to embracing the joyful chaos of our energetic dog. More importantly, Deb has cared for our family as a whole. She has supported us through illness, surgeries, and the emotional complexities that come with early parenthood—postpartum challenges, mom guilt, and the many transitions that working parents face. She brings wisdom, calm, and genuine compassion in moments when it matters most. There is a steadiness about her that cannot be taught, and it has been invaluable to us. We can say with complete honesty that we could not have navigated this chapter of life without her. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Deb as part of their home. She is trustworthy, nurturing, capable, and deeply invested in the well-being of the families she serves. If you are looking for someone who will not only care for your children but truly support your entire family, we wholeheartedly recommend Deb Scribner. Warmly, Ryan and Brianna Schaaf”

"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)."
