Hello! My name is MaryJo, but the little ones call me JoJo! ❤️ I am a proud mother of three wonderful young men and have over 25 years of childcare experience. I truly love working with children/ infants and creating a safe, happy, loving, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and have fun. I enjoy swimming, trips to the park, bicycle rides, reading, arts and crafts, coloring, walks, cooking, sports, music, dancing, and imaginative play. I am bilingual (English/Spanish), fully vaccinated (COVID & Flu), comfortable with pets, and have an impeccable driving record. I am also a certified swimming instructor at the La Crescenta–La Cañada YMCA. I consider myself kind, patient, loving, reliable, punctual, responsible, organized, and fun! I genuinely love what I do and take great pride in caring for every child/ infant as if they were part of my own family. Please take a moment to check out my reviews. I would love the opportunity to meet your family! Thank you! MaryJo (JoJo) ❤️

“Jojo was so kind, warm, patient and fun! She’s a ray of sunshine 🌞 She swept my kids off their feet within the first half hour of meeting them and they can be quite shy and reserved with new people, especially my 15 month old son. She’s a role model for what a caregiver should be like, I for sure learnt something from her in the little time that I spent just watching her with my kids. Absolute superstar sitter - thanks Jojo, see you next time we’re in LA! ”

Hello, I've had extensive experience in caring for children of all ages. I have 24 yr old college educated twins boys, one lives outside the home, the other is in his last year of college. I also have a 10 year old daughter, who is very mature,( an old soul) smart ( like her bros.) friendly, compassionate and intelligent. I've worked as a special education paraeducator for Los Angeles unified school district from 1[removed], working with children from 3 yrs to 21, with behavior challenges, physical, mental and academic disabilities. I also became a foster parent, liscensed for basic and therapeutic care for Los Angeles County for 4 years but due to covid I didn't continue. I've always been told I am naturally nurturing, and caring , I haven't met a child yet that didn't like me. 😊 I have been off of work for almost two years officially, however, I do have a few side gigs when requested, party planning, cosmetology, just to name a few. I have also been contacted about becoming a RBT ( Registered Behavior Technician) by the Learning and Behavior Center of Tarzana, which I am considering, however I'd love to assist a family that may can use my services, and just over all great energy. Thank you for your consideration

“Tara helped us out last minute and was great with our two boys (7 and 1). I would definitely recommend and book her again. ”

I am an experienced nanny, baby sitter and caregiver, having worked in the industry intensely for about fifteen years. I have been sitting children, however, since I a teenager. I am a fun-loving sitter who really puts her heart into her work. I've had many clients for the fifteen year period, and we have become like family to one another. I have a grown daughter whom I've raised to a successful adulthood. I have excellent references, a clean driving record and can easily pass a background check. I have my own vehicle and car insurance and can drive clients to various appointments, pick up from school, or take on outings. I was a Girl Scout for nine years. I was a lifeguard in high school, certified Red Cross. I have saved a few lives, a drowning victim - a 6-year old boy when I was a teenager; and, most recently, a grandmother who was choking to death at a valley restaurant. I have taken art for ten years, and love doing arts and crafts. I consider myself to be an excellent cook. I sing in church choir. I am great with pets, too. I am a freelance book editor in my spare time, and use the sitting money to supplement my income. I have been a book editor for about twenty years, mainly working on education materials and text books. I have a college degree.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
