Booked by 2 families in South Gate, CA

Hi, I’m Justine (Jeemin is my Korean name). I’ve spent many years living and working inside family homes—as a nanny, a mother’s helper, a household manager, and a personal chef. My love for children has always felt very natural to me, and I followed my passion by studying Early Childhood Education while earning my B.A. in Psychobiology at UC San Diego. During that time, I lived with a professional athlete and cared for his family and baby girl who was born at just 27 weeks. For almost 5 years, I was by her side after she faced six strokes and many developmental challenges. I learned, in a very real and personal way, what it means to show up every day with patience, curiosity, and love—and how constant learning, training and devoted care can help a child grow and thrive. I view my true value as providing full family support. I’m very comfortable stepping into the real, everyday rhythm of a household: early mornings, laundry, dishes, AM/PM routines, last-minute changes, and everything in between. I take a kind, clear approach to childcare: safety first, connection over correction and empathy always. I stay current on modern child development practices and am especially interested in music therapy, physiotherapy, emotional literacy, and play-based learning. In simple terms, I care about how a child feels in their body and heart, not just what they “do” in a day. I'm also a Naturopathic Cook and have been entrusted to prepare nutritious meals for children & entire households.

Justine is the real deal and honestly we can't put into words how amazing she is. Every morning she walks in and our 9 month old lights up the same way he does when he sees us. It's one of the things I look forward to every day. She puts her stuff down and forgets she even had a breakfast to eat or a tea to make because she's already fully locked in with him and he with her. That's just who she is and it never changes. She cares so much about his development and you can see it in how she approaches everything with him. Justine does not sit still. She's always doing something to make his life and ours easier without anyone asking. She jumps in and just figures it out. We trust her completely with our little one, our home, anything and when our schedule shifts she just rolls with it, no questions. She makes time. Like I said, words do not do her justice. If you're at all hesitant, don't. Shoot us a message, happy to jump on a call and tell you all about her.

$18 per hour for 1 child

I've been babysitting for 10 years. At a young age, I started babysitting. I help raise my niece's and nephew's. I'm very good with kids. I make a great connection with them. I can help them with homework, learn new things for their growth and playtime. I took care of a 97 year old lady with dementia for about two years in her home. I feed her, help her change clothes, and kept her house clean. Lastly, I currently have a cat that I have had since he was a newborn. he's very well groomed and very healthy. I also help my friend with her dogs. I take them on walks, they eat twice a day and I play with all the animals.

Dominaja 1 review
Los Angeles
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m a kind, loving nanny with experience caring for children of all ages and all personalities from newborns to school aged kids. I also do have quite a bit of special needs experience as well. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where kids can thrive, learn, and feel supported. Whether it’s tummy time, arts and crafts, homework help, or just making after school snacks, I show up with patience, creativity, and a calm, reliable presence. I love to cook and bake so meal prep is no problem for me. I'm also comfortable with some housekeeping. Open communication and being in sync with parents is vital to me. If you're looking for someone warm, dependable, and ready to jump in where needed, I'd love to chat and see if we’re a good match!

Dominaja was such a wonderful babysitter for our family. She was attentive, patient, and immediately connected with our kids. They were excited every time she came over. We always felt comfortable leaving them in her care. Would highly recommend her!

Stephanie Los Angeles
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Stephanie, and I am offering short-term and occasional childcare, household support, and pet care. I'm a pediatric oncology nurse who recently moved to LA, and as I look for my next nursing job, I’d love to support families with quality care during this transitional period. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood & Family Studies, so working with children has always been a huge joy and passion of mine! Before becoming a nurse, I spent over 10 years babysitting and nannying for families with children of all ages. I especially love working with infants! I am dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for kids—one that emphasizes creativity, structure, early childhood development support, and screen-free play. Activities like arts and crafts, reading, outdoor adventures, and imaginative play. I pride myself on being patient, dependable, loving, and fun, while also being attentive to each family’s routines and preferences. I’ve had the privilege of working with many different families and children, and I will always strive to meet each child and family where they are, offering care that feels personal and consistent. I love animals and am comfortable with cats and dogs, open to animal care as well. I am excited to connect and learn more about your family!

Cameron Torrance
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cameron and I'm looking to babysit any age! I have worked with children from 1mo-13 years old. I've been working at an after school program teaching kindergarten for the past 2 years. This job consists of childcare, meals, and teaching all subjects! I absolutely adore kids and love the bonds that get created. I'm looking for a family that would be willing to let me watch their children, but also strengthen their brain with non- screen time activities! I have kittys and dogs at home, so I am more than comfortable taking care of your fur babies too! In 2027 I will be starting my nursing school and I hope to be a labor and delivery or nicu nurse. In the mean time, I'd love to be energetic and help your family out! My rate is 25/hr for 1 child, and for every extra child +5/hr. I look forward to getting in touch, answering your questions, and setting up a meet and greet to see if we fit!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
