Booked by 3 families in Arcadia, CA

Hello my name is Destiny! I'm a nursing student and Registered Behavior Technician with over five years of childcare experience. I've cared for children of all ages, from newborns to school-age kids. I love keeping little ones engaged through play, reading, arts and crafts, and outdoor activities. With older kids, I enjoy helping with homework and just being someone they feel comfortable around. I have professional experience in ABA therapy and caregiving, and I've studied Child Development and Developmental Psychology in college. I'm naturally patient, calm, and interactive. It's important to me that every child I care for feels safe and valued. I'm CPR/BLS certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and currently learning ASL. I have my own car and can help with driving, errands, and special needs care. I'm comfortable with pets in the home. I'd love the opportunity to work with your family!

“Destiny was great! She was able to bond with our 15 month boy very quickly, and also helped with a little house work when he was napping. ”

Hello! My name is Emily, and I am a caring, dependable, and energetic childcare professional with over 3 years of experience working with children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. As a preschool teacher, I have developed strong skills in creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I am passionate about helping children reach developmental milestones through play-based learning, creative activities, outdoor exploration, reading, and positive encouragement. My classroom experience has taught me patience, organization, communication, and the ability to manage routines while meeting each child’s individual needs. Families describe me as trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I understand the importance of building strong relationships with both children and parents, and I strive to provide reliable care that gives families peace of mind. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with homework help, school pick-ups and drop-offs, meal preparation, light housekeeping related to the children, and pet care. I love creating fun, meaningful experiences that help children feel confident, happy, and cared for. I am currently seeking a position where I can become a positive, supportive part of a family’s daily life.

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Valerie, and I have a Bachelor’s degree in Child Development with several years of experience working with children of different ages and abilities. I currently work as a toddler teacher with children ages 1–2 and have also worked as a special education aide, childcare provider, and swim instructor. Much of my experience has involved working with young children and children with developmental differences, including autism and ADHD. These experiences have taught me the importance of being patient, attentive, flexible, and understanding each child as an individual. I love creating a safe, positive environment where children can have fun while learning and exploring. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading, and imaginative play. I’m also comfortable helping with routines such as meals, diapering, dressing, naps, and bedtime. Families can expect me to be dependable, caring, patient, and genuinely engaged with their children. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your child, and I always strive to make children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me.

“Valerie has been an absolute blessing for our family! She has been watching our 15-month-old daughter. From day one, she was warm, gentle, and incredibly patient, which made our daughter warm up to her almost instantly. She is wonderfully engaging always coming up with fun, age-appropriate activities, reading books, and getting outside for stroller walks. She is reliable, punctual, and maintains great communication throughout the day with updates and photos that give us complete peace of mind. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and truly attentive to care for your child we cannot recommend valerie highly enough!”

"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."
