Rachel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Rachel, and I recently graduated from college. I am a compassionate, dependable, and patient caregiver available for child care, senior care, and pet care services. I understand that care needs don't always happen on a schedule, so I am often available for short-notice, evening, weekend, and last minute requests. My greatest caregiving experience comes from serving as the primary caregiver for my grandmother for two years through her end of life care journey. During that time, I assisted with daily living activities, meal preparation, transportation, companionship, medication reminders, mobility assistance, and emotional support. This experience taught me the value of patience, empathy, reliability, and treating every individual with dignity and respect. I currently work in campus safety at a high school, where I interact with students, staff, and families daily. This role has strengthened my communication skills, responsibility, problem solving abilities, and capacity to remain calm in high pressure situations. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, am a non smoker, and can pass a background check. My goal is to provide families with peace of mind by delivering safe, attentive, and personalized care. Services Offered ✔ Child care & babysitting
✔ Senior care & companionship
✔ Pet sitting & dog walking
✔ Transportation & errands
✔ Homework assistance
✔ Meal preparation
✔ Light housekeeping
✔ Overnight care
✔ Short notice bookings
✔ Evening & weekend availability I take pride in being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Whether I'm caring for children, seniors, or pets, I provide the same level of dedication and compassion that I would give to my own family.

Booked by 2 families in Surfside, CA

Hi! My name is Andrea, and I have worked with kids for a little over 6 years now. I started babysitting kids in my family and realized that I loved being a positive change in a child's life. I truly found a passion for caring for them, playing and interacting with them, making their meals, and assisting them with school assignments. Since 2021, I've been consistently working as a part-time nanny for different families, and as of 2022, I've been an after-school program teacher for kindergartners all the way to fifth graders. I love interacting with kids of all different ages and making their days brighter as much as they make mine. I am also aware of the different schedules that I get handed from different families and am very well with carefully follow parental instructions regarding schedules, chores, discipline, and free time. I'm looking forward to meeting new families and to growing great connections.

Andrea was amazing and sweet. Helped with house stuff and was great with my 3 month old. Would hire her again!

"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

"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)."
