Hi! My name is Rosa, I am attending Cerritos College. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 years old family members, close friends and relatives; different ages and even twins. . I also have my CPR/First Aid Pediatric for adults/children; I also have my certificate for child development. I’ve been a preschool teacher for 6 years already and I couldn’t be any happier with my dream job. I love teaching and watch them get excited of their accomplishments for example help with fine-motor skills,tracing,numbers, colors etc. I can help children and elderly; and also fur babies by going for a walk and play with him/her. I am going to start my full time job soon, but feel free for part times, occasional, if you really need me just send me a DM and we can work something out, don’t hesitate I am very open minded and we can definitely fine a way to work and help out with your kiddos, Seniors, and dogs.

Rosa was great with my two little ones! 2 under 2 is definitely a challenge and she handled them well! Would hire her again.

Booked by 5 families in Signal Hill, CA

Hello, my name is Sherrie. I recently graduated from Howard University and have returned home to Los Angeles, California. I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 years old and have a passion for working with children. I create a fun and safe environment for them while ensuring they adhere to their parents’ rules. I’m available mostly on Thursdays and Fridays, but if you request an interview early enough, I can adjust my schedule. If you’d like to schedule an interview, I’m available via Zoom. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. P.S. I also have experience in pet sitting and household services.

She was great!

Booked by 38 families in Signal Hill, CA

Hi! My name is De’Ja, and I’m a professional nanny with 10+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I’m also a mom to a 3½-year-old, which has strengthened my patience, organization, and understanding of child development and daily routines. I’ve been caring for children since high school — from helping raise my cousin from infancy, to full-time nanny roles, after-school programs, and regular date-night care. I’ve completed an ROP Careers with Children course and bring everything I’ve learned directly into my work with families. Alongside childcare, I also have house manager experience, supporting families with day-to-day household needs such as managing schedules and routines, keeping the home organized and running smoothly, children’s laundry and meal prep, coordinating activities, outings, and school-related needs, and maintaining a calm, structured home environment. I’ve also helped manage larger household logistics, including coordinating contractors and movers, assisting with larger moves, hiring and scheduling cleaners or other household helpers, and handling general household and vehicle-related tasks as needed. I’m reliable, patient, and highly organized, and I value building long-term relationships with families. I have strong references and often continue working with families on an ongoing basis. I’m CPR, First Aid, and AED certified, as well as babysitting and food-allergy trained. I have a safe, reliable vehicle and an extra car seat if needed. I love getting kids out of the house — parks, neighborhood walks, and activities that support learning and development. I recently completed my Associate’s degree and relocated to Seal Beach. I value communication and chemistry and am happy to do an interview or working interview. I do have a child of my own and would love the option to bring him along if it’s a fit for your family, though I’m also open to roles where separate childcare is available. My rates reflect my experience, training, and the level of care I provide. I’d love to connect!

Fantastic work! Looking forward to working together in the near future.

Booked by 3 families in Signal Hill, CA

Hi! My name is Cristina E., and I would love the opportunity to care for your children. I have over 16 years of experience working with children in both general education and special education settings through Los Angeles Unified School District. I have worked as both an instructional assistant and a special education teacher, giving me experience supporting children of all ages, abilities, and personalities. I am currently pursuing my teaching credential in History education. As both an educator and a parent, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and dependable. I adopted my 4-year-old nephew two years ago, which has made childcare even more meaningful to me. Safety is always my top priority, while also making sure children feel supported, engaged, and comfortable. I enjoy helping with homework, planning fun and educational activities, and creating a positive environment where children can learn, laugh, and feel safe. My playful and caring personality helps me connect easily with kids from all backgrounds. I am bilingual, have reliable transportation, and a valid driver’s license. Thank you for considering me — I would be honored to support your family! Best, Cristina E.

Cristina was absolutely wonderful. From our first conversation, she was professional, responsive, and thoughtful. She took the time to get to know my son beforehand and made me feel completely comfortable as a parent. She arrived on time, communicated throughout the day, and was engaging, patient, and attentive with my 4 yr old son. It was clear she genuinely enjoys working with children and understands how to connect with them through play, conversation, and activities. As a single dad, trust and reliability are incredibly important to me, and Cristina exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to other families looking for dependable, caring childcare.

Booked by 8 families in Signal Hill, CA

Hi my name is Maisha and I have around 4-5 years of paid babysitting experience! I have a lot of experience working with children, both through my job at Skyzone hosting birthday parties and as an assistant teacher at a preschool. I’ve also been taking care of my younger siblings and the children of my relatives and family friends for over 5 years , so I understand how important it is to be responsible,attentive, and to have fun. My responsibilities have included preparing meals, tutoring, arts/crafts, driving to / from school and more tasks. Im more than happy to help out with any household chores and my hours are very flexible so Im happy to work with your schedule. I’m friendly, outgoing, and love working with kids, so I’m excited to help out with babysitting and make sure your children have a fun and safe time! I am first aid-certified, i have my food handlers card, and my drivers license.

Maisha is wonderful! She's very attentive, reliable, kind, and respectful. I WFH and needed help with my 7-month old daughter, and my daughter was instantly drawn to her. I really love how communicative and engaging she is with my daughter. Maisha is also very knowledgeable and family oriented. We went through several meet and greet with other candidates, and I knew right away Maisha was the one! I'd highly recommend her for kids of all ages. Our assignment was short because we are moving out of state, but we seriously will miss her! ☺️

"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)."
