Ashley 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Ashley and I’m so happy you’ve found your way to my profile. Caring for children has been such an important part of my life for the past seven years and it’s so much more than a job to me. It’s truly something I love and feel deeply called to do. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children of all ages from tiny newborns fresh into the world, to curious toddlers exploring everything around them, all the way up to independent 5th graders discovering who they are. Every stage of childhood is unique and I feel honored to be part of those precious milestones. In addition to my childcare experience, I’m also a full-spectrum doula currently focusing on postpartum care supporting families as they adjust, heal and find their rhythm during those early months with their new baby. Outside of work, I enjoy hobbies that spark creativity and balance: gardening, cooking, reading, sewing, skating and crocheting. If you’re looking for someone who brings not just experience but also heart, I would love the chance to connect with you. Whether your family needs someone to nurture a newborn baby, engage a curious toddler or simply provide an extra layer of support, I’d be honored to help. Childcare is about so much more than watching children—it’s about building relationships, supporting growth and creating a sense of love and stability that children carry with them.

“I cannot recommend Ashley highly enough as a childcare provider. I’ve known her my whole life and she has always been naturally gifted at caring for children. She is reliable, professional, and brings a warmth and calm that makes kids feel comfortable and parents feel at ease. What makes Ashley special is her genuine love for what she does. To her, childcare is not just a job but truly a calling. Families can always count on her to be dependable, patient, and caring. I know any child in her care will feel supported, nurtured, and safe. If you are looking for someone with both professional teaching experience and a genuine heart for children, Ashley is someone you can fully trust.”

Megan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Megan - I was born and raised in Torrance, CA. I am an online college student and I truly enjoy caring for children! I have 4 siblings (all older brothers) and my family owned a large preschool up until very recent so I grew up around a lot of kids! I have worked for several families taking care of kids from ages 6 months to 12 years old. I would describe my personality as caring, thoughtful and loving. I like working with kids because it really makes me happy to be a part of their growing up. I'm looking for a job that I can make a difference in a family knowing their child is being well taken care of I started working with kids when when I was about 14 years old babysitting and also helping in my mom's preschool. In my spare time, I like to go to the gym, go to the beach and visit with family and friends. One thing you should know about me is that I am a very loving person who truly enjoys life. I am very family oriented and enjoy every day to the fullest. My skills include being patient, fun and caring.

Kaliyah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m Kaliyah. I’m 24 years old and stay in the Long Beach area. My passion for kids started very early as the eldest sibling/cousin in the family. I’ve always loved teaching my younger family members & watching their personalities grow. I’ve started out babysitting for other families as I got older and with studying child development I have immense belief in an enriching environment for children to grow up in. I have experience with supervising playtime & learning activities, meal preparation, nap time, hygiene, as well as skill acquisition and communication. I also have experience as a caregiver for seniors since 2023. I can cook, clean, and other domestic tasks. I don’t have any pet allergies.

Canaya $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Pedro, CA

Hi mamas and papas! 🩷 I am a professional nanny with a big heart for little humans! I’m currently looking to transition from my full-time sales career (last day-Mar 13!) into nannying full-time so I can have more flexibility, freedom, and most importantly follow my true passion of caring for children!! I have a Bachelors in Liberal Studies from CSULB with a concentration in Language Arts (even though math is my favorite subject!). My original plan was to become a full time teacher, I am still working on my credentials, but would now prefer to tutor independently. I spent three years as a substitute teacher and also worked as an RSP assistant, supporting students who needed extra guidance, patience, and time to complete their work. I have four years of experience as a professional nanny. I am also a hands-on auntie of 9 and the primary familial caregiver! I am open to part-time positions, evenings, weekends, and even travel opportunities. I am comfortable caring for children of all ages, abilities, and health needs. Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and celebrated for who they are!! Also welcoming opportunities for senior care, pet care, and home sitting! (I had a dog that I loved dearly for 12 years and have experience with hospice care for a relative who was battling ovarian cancer for two years) Happy to pass a background check or Livescan! Excited to support families by helping you care for the most important people in your world! I’m flexible and happy to provide discounts for siblings and cash payments! Open to paid working interviews, so we can make sure we are a good fit for each other! **Extremely respectful of dietary restrictions! References available upon request. Looking forward to connecting 🫶🏼

"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)."
