Mackenzie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Mackenzie . I am very well interested in helping your family out, I love animals and kids. I am 31 years old and currently a stay at home mom with 2 month old baby boy and my daughter is in kindergarten. I’m looking to help another family out so I can stay home with my baby and be there for my daughters first years of school. I was a preschool teacher the last 12 years but because of changing schedules it won’t accommodate which is why I’m leaning on babysitting or nannying. I will most likely have my 2 month old with me and part time my 5 year old daughter but I would also like them to socialize with other kids as well. I am cpr first aid certified, having my units in child development for a certified teacher. I can transport your child to extra curricular activities, pick up child from school , take them to the park, wherever the help is needed I’m there for you.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Orange, CA

Hi, I’m Brenda! I’ve spent the last 8 years working with kids in classroom settings, supporting both general education and special education students ages 5–16. I hold a Special Education teaching credential and have 4 years of experience as a special education teacher for 2nd, 3rd, and 9th grades. I have also worked as a nanny and tutor with children ages 1.5 - 12 years old. Working closely with children of different abilities has taught me patience, creativity, and how to meet kids where they are. I offer babysitting, tutoring, house sitting, cooking, pet sitting, and elderly care. I genuinely love spending time with children—whether that’s helping with homework, baking together, heading to the park or museum, or cheering them on at sports practice. I also enjoy swimming, running, and staying active, which helps me keep up with energetic kids. I’m reliable, caring, and hands-on, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel confident.

Brenda was beyond expectations in helping with rides, household tasks and cooking. Dependable, kind and a easy to work with. Would definitely 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

Rachel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Rachel, and I recently graduated from college. I am a compassionate, dependable, and patient caregiver available for child care, senior care, and pet care services. I understand that care needs don't always happen on a schedule, so I am often available for short-notice, evening, weekend, and last minute requests. My greatest caregiving experience comes from serving as the primary caregiver for my grandmother for two years through her end of life care journey. During that time, I assisted with daily living activities, meal preparation, transportation, companionship, medication reminders, mobility assistance, and emotional support. This experience taught me the value of patience, empathy, reliability, and treating every individual with dignity and respect. I currently work in campus safety at a high school, where I interact with students, staff, and families daily. This role has strengthened my communication skills, responsibility, problem solving abilities, and capacity to remain calm in high pressure situations. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, am a non smoker, and can pass a background check. My goal is to provide families with peace of mind by delivering safe, attentive, and personalized care. Services Offered ✔ Child care & babysitting
✔ Senior care & companionship
✔ Pet sitting & dog walking
✔ Transportation & errands
✔ Homework assistance
✔ Meal preparation
✔ Light housekeeping
✔ Overnight care
✔ Short notice bookings
✔ Evening & weekend availability I take pride in being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Whether I'm caring for children, seniors, or pets, I provide the same level of dedication and compassion that I would give to my own family.

"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)."
