$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 31 families in Palm Desert, CA

Hey! My name is Naomi and I have my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, with my AA in Early Childhood Education. With that being said, I have been working with children for a little over a decade now and I love every minute of it! I currently work full-time in a private learning center where I work as a Lead Teacher in the infant classroom. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, pre-school, school-age, middle & high schoolers! I am CPR & First-Aid certified, have my reliable transportation & I love working with kids!! I have younger siblings so I use them as my guinea pigs for creative fun activities for us to do. Well I’ve said too much, thank you all for taking the time to read this. As far as pricing goes, I can be very reasonable and fair, as long as we communicate and work something out! I do have a standard rate of charging an extra +$3-5 when it involves an infant-toddler as this is my specialty. Of course, my pricing also depends on the occasion, day, holiday, every factor counts! Let me know if you have any questions, I’m here to help you out ! I should also mention this- my policy is, whether the sitting ends before the original designated time you had requested for me, I would still expect the pay for the time you scheduled. My rates are hourly & begin hourly (if it’s less than 3 hours), so for example if the time is less than 1 hour, I would still be paid for 1 full hour. If it’s less than 3, I would be paid for the full 3 hours. Due to the fact that my day is already planned around the time of the sitting so it is only fair, I get paid for my time, which includes mileage. Thank you in advance!

Arianna $24 per hour for 1 child

My name is Arianna (Ari), and I have over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. I am 22 years old, born and raised in the Coachella valley. As the oldest sibling, I've been caring for younger children for over 10 years-preparing meals, supervising daily routines, and caring for them as if they were my own while parents were at work. I truly love working with children and babies and would be happy to support your family whenever needed. I can also provide referrals if you'd like.

Marline $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a loving, patient, and outgoing babysitter who truly adores working with kids. I’ve been caring for children since I was 14, starting with infants and toddlers in my family and later babysitting for family friends. Making kids feel safe, happy, and loved is always my top priority, and I strive to positively impact every child I care for. I’m reliable and comfortable with cooking, cleaning, diaper changes, and putting babies to sleep. I also know CPR (not yet certified, but willing to obtain certification). I love staying active, being outdoors, and spending quality time with family and friends and I’ve always looked forward to being an amazing mother one day. I’d love to be someone parents can fully trust with their little ones! 💕😇

"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)."
