Ashley $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello there! I have been a Babysitter/Nanny for over 20 years. I have worked in Recreation with children for 15 years, varying from ages 2-14 years old. Currently, I am teaching preschool as well as Phonics (Reading) for ages 2 - 4 years old. Seeing the growth and character development through the younger ages have been greatly enjoyed. Diaper change, potty training, reading, dance, crafts, dramatic play, outside play, cooking, feeding, nap time, & bedtime are just some of the experiences I've acquired throughout my years of babysitting. I have a passion for arts, crafts, and creating enjoyable environments through decorating. I am an animal advocate and have years of pet sitting and some pet training as well. I am current and up to date on my CPR & First Aide Training Certifications. I am also trained in the use of an Epi-Pen for any children who have allergies.

Hi! My name is Ruby, and I am a college student at CSUN! I have experience with large and small groups of children ages 2-15 years old. My most recent experience was working as a part time nanny with a family of two children aged 7 and 10. Our time consisted of after school care doing activities, preparing meals and getting the kids ready for bedtime. I also previously worked at the Girl Scouts of the Greater Los Angeles Area Day Camp as a Camp Counselor where I led groups of up to 20 kids to participate in activities! I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified and have experience with first aid and allergy care. More about me! I am a political science major but was previously an Art Major and am still very artistically inclined. I love arts and crafts of all kind and am skilled in painting, drawing, clay and collage making. Some interests of mine include cooking/baking, photography, and film watching! I am someone who has 100% focus on keeping your children safe at all times as well as happy and entertained! I love spending time doing activities and chatting with the kids I work with as well as making sure they are always comfortable and feeling their best! I look forward to working with you and your kiddos!

Marla $22 per hour for 1 child

With more than 30 years of babysitting and childcare experience, I've had the privilege of caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Families describe me as dependable, patient, nurturing, and attentive. I understand that every child is unique, and I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and supported. Whether helping with homework, planning fun activities, preparing meals, maintaining routines, or providing loving care for infants, I bring a calm, responsible, and professional approach to every family I work with. My goal is to give parents peace of mind knowing their children are in caring and capable hands. I value open communication, punctuality, and building lasting relationships with families. If you're looking for an experienced caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and thrive, I would love the opportunity to work with your family. Marla

"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."
