Booked by 23 families in South Gate, CA

Hello, my name is Marelin. I'm 28 years old. I am loving and caring with kids. I have taken care of children up until the age of 15. I am reliable, trustworthy and honest. Will do any tasks that are given, my rules are the same rules you have at your house. Pets are okay. I also have my own transportation. Please let me know so we can schedule an interview! I can provide references if needed. Thank you.

“Marelin has been our daytime sitter since December 2025, and we're so sad to be losing her only because our family is moving out of LA in November 2026. She's been wonderful. She's reliable, flexible with hours, and always willing to work around our schedule. She’s smart and a quick learner. She picks up house rules and instructions right away. We always feel completely comfortable leaving her alone with our baby. She's endlessly patient during feedings, sings to our daughter, and always gets her down for naps quickly. She spends real time playing with and reading to our baby, who absolutely adores her. She's also happy to help with light housecleaning and errands. Highly recommend Marelin to any family looking for a trustworthy, loving caregiver”

Hi my name is Mariah and I am a dancer/performing artist originally from Philadelphia, PA. I've been teaching dance to children ages 2-18 for about 10 years and was often the go-to family babysitter before moving to LA. I started working through Urban Sitter about 8 years ago as a nanny,babysitter, and tutor and have experience with all ages (infants-teenagers). I absolutely love working with children and am grateful for every opportunity I get to do so. With every job it is always my goal to provide a creative, active, safe and fun environment. I'm a natural performer/entertainer and children are honestly my favorite audience 🤗 ... Aside from dancing I love playing sports, reading, outdoor adventuring and fashion.

• Bachelor’s in Sociology with a minor in Child Development • Master’s in Education in progress • Certified child care provider in the state of California includes: yearly CPR certification, vaccinations, trust line certified, and more! I believe my experience aligns well with what you’re looking for because I’m a very compassionate and self motivated individual. My family has a licensed childcare center. The way we’ve seen our mother teach, guide, support, and encourage little ones is definitely the reason my sisters and I began our journey toward working with children and the root to our ongoing career paths. When time permits I supervise the children and assistants. As well as connect with parents and keep them up to date. Moreover, I worked at an elementary school in Hermosa Beach and at behavioral health network as a Behavior Technician. In regards to nannying I have experience all around - overnight stays, date nights, part time position, and full time position ( I was with my previous family for two years:) Mothers helper: I come in as an extra set of hands for a couple of hours to take care of typical household needs. Which includes laundry, tidying, organizing, and light cleaning. I am open to running errands/ grocery shopping - gas fee add on. This does not include childcare coverage, but can for an increase hourly rate. Nanny work: I enjoy spending time with children (art, reading, outdoor play, etc.) and helping them get out of their comfort zone. When it comes to activities with the child/children it really depends on what you’re open to as the parent. If I’m given a budget we could go to the zoo, aquarium, etc. Of course there’s always the park, library, and playing at home. I’m open to using my car when needed (with gas reimbursement:). Overall, I always keep in mind on what’s in the best interest for the child (of course, with the input of the parents). Note: Regardless of the type of booking I want to emphases that my job is to focus on the well being and development of your child/ children. When time permits I don’t mind unloading/ loading dishwasher, etc. I am in no means a professional cook or cleaner. *I have experience house- sitting and dog sitting as well! * rates vary on holiday bookings * If this is something that works for you I look forward on connecting further. Respectfully, Susana

“Susana was wonderful! She was reliable, kind, and easy to communicate with, and I felt completely comfortable having her help with our family. She was responsible, professional, and great with the girls. We really appreciated her help and would absolutely recommend her to other families.”

"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)."
