Booked by 1 family in Torrance, CA

I have extensive experience in childcare, with a lifelong passion for nurturing and supporting children’s growth. As a caring and loving individual, I have had the joy and privilege of raising my two granddaughters from infancy through their early school years. Through this experience, I developed strong skills in creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. I am patient, dependable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs — whether it’s helping with homework, preparing healthy meals, organizing creative activities, or providing emotional comfort. Families can trust that their children will be cared for with kindness, respect, and genuine affection.

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.

Alexis $28 per hour for 1 child

I have several years of experience working with children, including 3 years working at a preschool with children ages 1–4, as well as experience babysitting. Through my work, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily routines, playtime, meals, nap time, potty training, and helping children learn and develop in a safe and nurturing environment. I’m patient, caring, responsible, and dependable. I understand that every child is different, so I always try to create a comfortable environment where they feel heard, supported, and encouraged. I’m also very hands-on and enjoy coming up with fun activities, crafts, games, and age-appropriate ways to keep children engaged. I’m comfortable helping with everyday household tasks related to childcare as well, such as preparing simple meals, cleaning up after activities, and keeping play areas organized. My experience working in a preschool has taught me how to stay calm, attentive, and organized while caring for multiple children, and I genuinely love being around kids and watching them grow.

"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)."
